with my car still attached. Bastards! First time Ive had a car stolen, and I can assure you that its a crappy feeling to walk out onto the street and wonder what happened to your car.
The irony is that the car that was stolen in is a 1990 Honda hatchback. Crapped out, dented up, with nothing worth stealing inside, and it was surrounded by other, more expensive cars on the street.
The funny thing is that I called the police to report it, and the dispatcher said hmm, I just ran that plate turned out that my car was just around the corner, my neighbor had already called in to report it as it was obviously the victim of a crime.
In the end, everything is fine. They didnt even break a window. They did steal my roofracks, which Ive owned for 17 years, and they made a hell of a mess, but my stereo had already been stolen and not replaced, and there was nothing else of value in my car.
The gas tank was also empty, leaving me to believe that they stole the damn thing for the gas f*ckers
The cop who came out to take the report was cool. I was asking him what, if anything, will stop a car thief. He said 'take a look at this' and pulled out a printout showing all cars stolen in Oakland in the last 24 hours. Must have been a 100 cars on the list. He said that the cops routinely have their personal cars stolen or broken into, and their lot is only a few blocks from the police station!
unbelievable!
