| Originally posted by sothis explain to me how this is corollated at all to what i said, or were you just trying to be witty? in any event, if you want to compare, i dont know any canadian who gets their car targeted to get broken into when they come down south to washington. and by the way, i like going up to vancouver, i like my canadian ta friends, but since this thread was obviously started as semi america bashing, and to try to make canada look good, i felt like bringing up something REALLY shitty that makes me and all my college friends here scared to go up to vancouver. zero excuse to pick out americans to do shit to. i can also add that if you drive an american car and go to a show at the plaza, coliseum, etc.. in vancouver... when you come out, odds are your car will be covered in eggs, your windshield smashed, or something else as wonderful. again, if you want to compare, that shit never happens to canadians down here. |

if indeed it was the wrong place, wrong time... then literally everyone i know who has either directly or indirectly had one of these things happen (by indirectly, i mean they were up there with a friend who had it happen, etc)... must just be in the small percentile.. because i am seriously not exagerating at all

sothis ur starting to sound like one of those unfortunate patiotic ignorant americans that ppl always categorize the US ppl as.....what made u think this is a bash america thread? because we're talkin about canada instead of the states? have u noticed nobody from turkey, italy, cuba etc. have been offended by this thread? u got to take a chill pill.... and guess what sothis of course american cars are gonna be targeted, its th same thing weith canadian cars in the US...u wanna know why??? because if ur car gets stolen in Canada its harder to trace because u have american pin numbers... same thing with canadian cars in the US...they get stolen alot and theyre never found because number 1 its the not the US's problem and number 2 because its got different pins making it really hard to trace
what makes you think that everyone loves canada?
i don't love canada. i don't hate it, but i don't love it either.
one good thing with canada: terrance & phillip 
and whats so "wohoo" with 19 (18 in some places) as the legal drinking age? its 18 in finland too
Very good point vivid.
and sothis, about your car, that is very unfortunate, but the simple fact is that vancouver is a rough place, there are tons of cars stolen and broken into there every day. you may have been targeted because the thieves thought it would be better to target an american car for the reason that vivid suggested. or it could have been a coincidence. It also could be that the thieves didn't like americans, that is a definite possibility, many people don't.
I certainly don't agree that because of the actions of US politicians and corporations, we should target american citizens, but some people do. And in a way, the world is counting on the american citizens to let their govt and corporations know that their actions are not appreciated, and since we don't get to vote in your elections, maybe a broken window is just a very assinine and immature way of saying "don't vote bush!"
Anyway, just to present the other side of the story, i have had my car broken into several times, windows smashed, CDs stolen, all in a little town of 70,000 people. It's a fact of life wherever you live.
and, when i came down to vancouver, i was careful to take all my CDs and valuables out of my car, and take the faceplate off my CD player before leaving. As i left the car, my buddy said "did you lock the doors?" i said yeah, he said "don't, they will just break the windows to get in to see what you have" so i just left them unlocked, and nothing in there to steal.
My suggestions to you are to do this if you come to van again, and maybe get a club for your steering wheel, or an alarm, so they don't steal your whole car.
or, if you really think they just singled you out because you are american, maybe you should consider taking your plates off your car and bringing them with you?
just a thought.
That poor old guy 
as far as theft because of a different country, i kind of agree with that, but at the same time, for example, when i found the canadian cop, they said that unless there was a witness or i saw the person, there wasnt anything they could do... this makes sense, even if it was in the states as well. i mean, i DID get the cds covered by my insurance (the window was not covered because of my deductable), but i dont see anything else they COULD do unless i saw the guy... and well, i was gone all day so i didnt
i know in this case that it had to have been my car because it was american, because i was in a *packed* parking garage, and my american car was the only one fucked up, plus the note that said hope this didnt ruin your trip. i actually had nothing in my car except my cds which i always put in the trunk... only other shit they took was my american change cuz its all i had in there >_<
but yea, i do like canada. 
so, they broke into your car, just to steal american change?
hmm, that's kinda strange.
also, same thing happens to canadians in america. some buddies of mine went down to washington, and some dudes started chasing them in a pickup truck. it had gun racks in the window, and like 2 guys in the front. they were throwing cans of budweiser and my friends car and stuff. I swear i am NOT making this up.
anyway, my buddies got away and lost them, but it just goes to show it happens everywhere.
well the way i see it, they broke into it because it was american... saw there was nothing in there, took the change, then happened to check the trunk :/
and haha at your story... scary

so, how did they get in the trunk? you have a hatchback or something?
The way I see it, there's jerks in every country.
Sothis, sorry shit like that had to happen to your car. I can't speak for any other city but I haven't seen that happen to american tourist in Toronto (being as Toronto is so close to New York, we get americans crossing the border all the time and vice versa)
Yeah overall I do like Canada except that it's friggin' cold as hell in winter 
. Having travelled to many parts of the states I had no idea how much I miss Toronto and how great we have it here.

nah, not a hatchback, but you can pop the trunk by means of a little lever at the base of the driver seat... same with the gas cap.
i dunno, maybe they were pissed that i carry nothing in my car so they thought to check the trunk :/
