car got broken into again . . . .

I hate tucson, this is the second time my car has gotten broken into in a year , , , how many other people have delt with this stupid nuisance? luckily, this time i had an expensive alarm, so they were scared off pretty quick . . .

Mine was broken into last Christmas. I had a book of 50 CD's stolen, some cologne, and leather gloves. They didn't, however, take a full bottle of 151 or my sunglasses.

Is it really that hard not to leave your stuff in the car?

true dat, ever since I found out how easy it is to get into cars when I was younger I don't keep anything in my car. Although they might find some pennies under the seat and some booger filled napkins, I wouldn't mind it at all if they took em.

i got my car broken into last year and my stereo was jacked -- the one time i got lazy and didnt remove the face of my stereo was the time it happened... (plus the cost of the smashed window)

i've never left the face on since then tho...

if something of any value is left in my car, i cover it. my car is old and generally untidy so it doesn't look tempting at all. i also throw a few tampons or pads in the back or in the passenger seat so guys think "ewww.. gross" and go to the next car. I've never had a problem.

A couple times...Once in Montreal where nothing was stolen, and once in Flight Training in Portland. THat one was bad. The class was staying in a hotel, and were all Moving out to our new job from around the country at the time, so we all had our stuff packed in our vehicles. 6 of us got hit one night. Total damages and goods between the 6 of us was about 10K. PDX police at the time didn't even respond to vehicle break-ins. The report was filed via the Mail. No wonder PDX has the worst vehicle theft rate in the US.

On a normal day, nothing is kept in my car. I take the faceplate, put a cover where the stero is, and my box isn't in my vehicle while I'm out on trips, plus the alarm.

Interesting theft deterrent... *takes down fuzzy dice and hangs a tampon on my rear view mirror, tapes maxipad above my stereo (that should do the trick)

Relative of mine had even worse luck. On his second day at his new Circut City job his car was stolen (95 ford taurus). Few days later the police discovered it or should i say some of it. The car had been completely stripped inside and out, up on cinder blocks in the getto. It was in such bad shape, even he couldnt recognize his own car.

my gf always offers me to put a child seat in my car whenever i go to to DC to party. Hey, it works for her!

I got a '89 Pontiac station wagon with rust over half the body. When I leave it down by the river at night while I fish, nobody ever breaks into it. Go figure....

they stole my favorite cd out of my car once...i didnt mind that, the cleaning of the shatterd glass was a pain in the ass though, and driving with a bag for a couple of days instead of a window too.

it was funny, cause i had a 10 dollar bill, and all they took was a protable cd player and a cd, they left my laptop in the back seats, a 10 dollar bill in the drivers side

they were IDIOTS!

if car crime really is at an all time high there, put a fake bomb on the passenger seat.
