s***,sorry to hear about your misfortune.That why i keep my cars in the garage and if there is something parked out side i sleep in the front room of my house with the window cracked and my mosin with illuminated receptacle scope and a 9 with a flashlight on the piccany rail right next to me.Still waiting to use em unfortunately. :cry:
Then again most people see my jeep parked out front and think im some crazy a** redneck and assume they're gonna get shot if they step on my property.Hell i haven't had a solicitor in a long time it's great.

*slaps forehead* That's a great way to get caught! Each register has thorough surveillance.

Unless they already dumped your things on Craigslist, I think you'll get it all back when the police catch them.

I live in the same kind of neighborhood -- quiet area, well kept, zero crime, normally no weirdos wandering about. But my roommate had the stereo taken from his Wrangler (unlocked) while the stereo in my Saab, which was parked next to it with the top wide open as usual, was completely untouched.

The canvas top on the Wrangler gave the thief a place to hide while he politely and carefully unscrewed the dash and removed the stereo. He actually took his time and did it right! He left the screws in the center console for easy reassembly.

The police came and took fingerprints but I'm sure that stuff is long gone. Bored local teens are suspected.

This is what happens when an area isn't supporting an "Occupy" movement.

I joined the "my car got broken into" club last night/this morning. I don't think they took much though. Nothing I need anyway.

Damn.

Sounds like the crime rate is increasing. Time for a flamethrower.
