This morning i found the contents of my glove box littered on my front seat. So tired from working it appears as if i had left the car door unlocked.

They took a few things of value but left map books, rain coats, 2 way radios, unused tarp, tent... But they took my stinky sweaty camelback, and my bike lock (no key smart), hardly working stand up bike pump and a few tools and some pocket cash i had stashed, cel phone charger, and (get this) a mess of CDR's?

The only bummer is my camelbak it's just gonna take time to collect all the assorted crap i use for rides. It's kinda like my "Bat Belt".

But it's just odd, it's only gonna cost me a little over a hundred bucks i guess to replace all the stuff. But really they didn't get squat. i mean why bother, go steal from somebody with real crap that's worth something....

Was this in the parking lot of your apt? Dude, that blows

 

[SofaKingBanned]

sorry, bro.

My woman's car was broken into two weeks ago in front of our house. Criminals can be strange sometimes. They took her credit card and hit up a Burger King and two 7-11s.

I hate thieves!

People think i'm paraniod because I always(!!!) lock my car, take everything of any value(even if it's only valuable to me) and still uh, do things....

people take anything they think might be valuable. usually people that cant spel good.

About a year ago when I was living in a crappy big apt building downtown I left my car unlocked one evening. My girlfriend left early and called me on her way to school asking if I'd left my trunk open. Keep in mind my car is a classic 1988 Honda Accord covered in bike stickers, rust, and bubbling window tint (it wasn't me!). So I go to inspect the damage, as I assume something out of the random assortment of junk that's in my car from time to time will be missing. Not so much. They failed at prying my broken stereo out, popped the trunk, and rifled through my glovebox, throwing the contents all over the floor. They left a checkbook I'd forgotten about, 5$ sitting on my dashboard, a shovel, decent Smith sunglasses, a camera tripod, and some random semi-valuable bike parts amongst the mess that is my car.

What they did take? A tiny CD wallet with a few demolished (we're talking water damaged, sun baked) CD-Rs.

Crackheads! Theives need ass kickings.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Sucks. Half my life is in my van, I would have a sh1tter if it got broken into.

 

[SkaredShtles]

This is not a whiny thread. Those thieves deserve to get the mange on they harblz.

 

[hooples3]

that sucks.. some one once slashed the window on my softtop on my CJ-7 to get a bag that was in that back filled with old shorts and t's. meanwhile the windows zipper out anyways

 

[black noise]

Theives can be wierd sometimes. My house got broken into a while back and they took an iBook, PS2, Walkman, and a cell phone. On the way through the window though they knocked over the G4 with the LCD monitor and left it, and also stole some $15 headphones which were connected to a $4000 Canon XL1.

They also used the phone for a while because they're brilliant like that but even though we had that and some numbers that the phone had called the cops didn't pursue it at all...

Ever bought crack? You'd understand...

A dude I worked with had his stereo stolen from his car during a snowstorm. There were footprints to and from the car to someones house down the street. The cops did nothing, told the guy it would be easier just to have his insurance pay for it than trying to arrest the guy and recover the property.

Hmm, i would have laid tracks from the theives house to that cops house and take a huge crap on his car, then try to get some action. It's unfortunate there are so many government workers that suck.

Anyways if anything this has been a good little wake-up call for me. i gotta be more diligent in trying to keep my crap from getting stolen.

Whaaaa...my stuff got stolen...whaaaaaa....


:biggrin:

Sorry to hear that. Theives, for the most part, are retards.

My band was in New York many years ago. We left the van unattended for about 20 minutes and it was broken into.

They took:

Case of cassette tapes
Our roadies bag of dirty laundry
My travel mug


They missed:

$1500 cash
SLR camera
ALL the musical gear stashed under the welded steel loft (they would need a cutting torch to get it)
Boom box
All the rest of our personal stuff.

They left:

A fresh loaf of french bread. (???)
