So last night someone broke into my car.... went through all the crap in there. Left all the CDs, took the cash. They popped my hood and my trunk, took the emergency kit I had in the trunk with my jumper cables and flares and such. Stole $3 worth of PENNIES out of my ash tray. Then they OPENED!!!! my garage door with the opener in my car. Went in the garage broke into the 3000GT and went though that. Stole a DVD from the library in it.
They ripped the thermometer out of the dash! Left all the prosport gauges, and tools in the garage alone. I don't understand, tools are what I would have went for first. Then probably the Cds. They left the door open in the 3000 so it was dead this morning and I had no jumpers to do it with..... GRRRRRRRR!!!!

Police say theres nothing they can do for us, but since they stole the garage door opener I can only think they wanna come back. And when they do I will be waiting with my 12 gauge... I am so pissed off.
I had some friends from 3si over last night and we stayed out until around 2 and them came back and went to bed. Noone heard the garage door open. I have no idea why they didnt' take anything else, as I had drunkenly left my wallet in the car. But all the stuff was taken out of it and then left on the seat.

sorry to hear that. but i have to agree on how stupid the robber is. hope everything goes well.

also
set up one of those things where you walk past it and it goes off and makes a ding. So next time he goes in the garage it will ding (obviously you will have the dinger in the house to hear it) and then go in and catch the thief.

Cant help but lose hope for society. I'd say to get your garage door changed immediately. Sorry to hear that and yeah to be honest, it sounds like a desperate crack addict that didnt want to carry anything heavy. Also the police are so freaking stupid, my house got broken into and they wouldn't bother helping then either... Its like can't you dust for fingerprints? something? isnt that what you are here for? gosh that annoys me

Sorry for your loss, you seem like a really good person :(

It's got to be Texas......someone broke into my sisters car (busted out the window) there & stole...get this....a 1/2 used chap stick......suntan lotion......a freakin comb & some other stupid piddly sh*t.
I mean absolutely USELESS items!!! The guy who was parked near her car called the cops & when the cops showed up.....they chased the bad guys & after they wrecked....hauled their butt to jail. I can't believe how stupid people really are.


Just remember if you 12 guage their @$$....drag them back into your home & put a butchers knife in their hand.....self defense.....

Jesus ******* christ.

I hate these useless tits of society and the revolving door legal system with a passion.

I feel your pain. I've had my house broken into a year ago and they stole over $10k worth of shit. I'm pissed that they're probably still out there.

Living in a city with the highest auto theft rate in Canada, I know a separate alarm is a must. I went with the CompuStar P2W9000FM-AS with an illegally loud siren. I just don't trust anybody around here.

I hope they didn't add vandalism.
I really don't understand what goes through the minds of some of these punks. They're obviously too damned stupid to know anything of value. I mean, at least if they stole something of value, it would the broken glass or destroyed lock a little more "worth it", if you get what I mean. Not just "WTF? you did all that to my car to steal a half-eaten Mars bar and a pair of socks?"

Shit, even shoplifters at Wal-Mart are more intelligent.



...$3 worth of pennies? Shit that's a lot of pennies.

Thank god they didn't take anything too valuable!!!

And also, is your garage door remote? If so, see if you can change the toggle in your remote and the reciever so it'll run off a different frequency. That way they can't get back in.

cut the power to your garage door that way u have to manually open it. there should be a lock type thing on the inside of the garage so you cant lift it without unlocking it first. looks something like this http://www.garage-doors-and-parts.com/imag...r-door-lock.jpg

Judging from them not taking valuables and only change and cd's, tells you it was young teenagers.

lmfao!! i know if someone stole my air freshener i wouldnt stop until i found them!! i mean.. thats the BEST thing ever for a car. JEEZ! that really grinds my gears! they probably shat themselves and stole it thinkn you would die of some toxin from the tacos and beans he had for dinner before he broke in. silly robbers
(EDIT) sorry dont mean to sound sexist, guess it COULD HAVE (not saying it was) been a woman. or maybe one of your drunk friends tryin to play a *joke* on you. thatd be a pretty shitty thing to do tho

Bummer, that sucks.
How did they get in the cars? No alarms on either cars? Usually an alarm will scare off a hoodlum. Pros will just disable it or get in and get out.

if you think about it, sounds like the skit from dane cook about the B&E (breaking and entering). And how he would just mess with the family by kicking down the door and not stealing anything but moving stuff around to confuse the family on what was stolen (even tho nothing was) or he would put stuff in the house that wasn't theirs. I know he didn't actually steal anything, just a skit to make people laugh but what he says its true facts . Watch Dane Cook's Viscous Circle.

Sorry i went :offtopic: but seemed like they weren't trying to steal much things that would make you really mad.

It's got to be Texas....

I once had a robber break out the passenger window of my 240, use a crowbar to break open the dash to steal my radio, but in doing so, the faceplate flew in the back seat, and they got scared off, and didn't end up stealing anything, but they did $300 worth of damage.

Also, last year, someone boroke into my Tiburon and stole my GPS and my Valentine 1 (I miss her SOOO bad)...

It makes me want to put this on my car.
