MY TURN TO VENT!

[Green_Monster]

I wokeup this morning and headed out to my truck to find the passenger side window broken in and some F***** took my Escort X50! I always take it down out of the window and put in on my console (to keep the honest people out) but they could still see the bracket on the windshield and the rest is history. $300 buck down the drain. Although it had already paid for itself saving me from numerous tickets, I now find myself contemplating buying a new one or not. I had plans for an exhaust, skid plates, and a navigation system which are now in jeopardy. No point in claiming it to the insurance company, becuase it is only going to cost $190 to replace the window. Just a pain in the a** and I miss a day of work cleaning all this up and trying to find a place that will take care of it today. These pathetic excuses for human beings better hope I never find out who they are! I would not be held liable for my actions! Another thing that upset me was that my landlord knew of this group of theives that were in the area, hitting other apartment complexes, and she didn't even bother to warn her tenants!! All she had to do was throw out an email blast, put up some flyers and we would have all been more aware and removed our valuables from our vehicles!

 

WHEW! Thanks for letting me vent.

Man that sucks. I cant believe some people, all that for a radar dectector. For something like that, I bet its someone in your complex. You would have to have a watchful eye for something that small.

My aunt had her purse stolen from her Avalon a week ago while she was in Church. They broke the window and snatched the purse. That has to be the lowest crap I've ever heard.

Another fine example of worthless humans. Sorry about your loss.

I had an aftermarket radio stolen from a car about 7 years agao. The feeling when you see the smashed window really ticks you off. Nothing like working your butt off to afford the things you want and some worthless jerk come steal it in 3 minutes. Feel your pain, sorry to hear about it.

Man, that sucks. I had a 95 Rodeo that got broken into 3 times in one year. Of course, I was living in brooklyn at the time. At least after the first time I had a radio with the detachable face put in, which I always took with me, so on the next two times I had the satisfaction of knowing they spent all that time for nothing.

The stereo guys around here are glueing razor blades to the backs of the head units!......F^%$# the crooks ...apparently one guy woke up to a broken side window snd s lot of blood on the carpet, and the unit on the floor.

[plainvanilla]

man, when I hear of crap like that, I think of placing a baseball bat right under the nose of that guy and watching him spit out his teeth.

Ever seen the movie "Payback"? The hammer scene. That's what I would like to do to them.

[Schmids5.3l]

I'd give them a Chuck Norris round house kick to the face!!

I don't think anyone can do anything to deserve something that bad.

UPDATE: A little bit of good news from this little incident. THEY ACTUALLY CAUGHT THE GUY! According to the detective, this guy commited around 40 car burglaries. I guess he admitted to breaking into my truck and taking the X50. And just as I suspected, he sold it on Ebay. He SAID he sold it on Ebay, and I looked at the listings to see if it was still on there. I found one that was from a local person that was being sold VERY cheap and did not include the manual, case or other information. If any of you have one of these, you don't throw away a case like the one this comes in. At least I wouldn't. Anyway, I will be going to the courthouse to see what happens if the court date stays as it is. I just hope they will take the time to investigate it all the way through, and they should be able to track down who bought it (if it was acually sold) and I MIGHT be able to get it back. Not likely, but there's hope.

Hmm, lucky there. We get a lot of theft from autos and with the textured interiors of vehicles, there's usually nothing of evidentiary value left behind. So grabbing someone is fairly rare. Glad to hear they got your guy.

[Boehmer]

d**n, it's very rare that you ever hear of them actually catching someone. I had my car broken into a few years ago on my b-day and the assclown stole my b-day cake that was in the back seat since it was cold outside and there was no room in the fridge. I feel your pain.

im glad they got your guy...i had my truck broken into on my wedding day and they took my internal/external thermometerand the face plate off my stereo. and then poured soda all over the interior of my truck. they never caught my guy
