Damn kids!

Some stupid kids tried stealing my car Sunday night. I always lock my doors, but apparently this time I didn't. They got in, looked through everything, even the small cubby hole on the left side of the steering wheel (which has my tire pressure meter). They even followed my ipod cable all the way back under the center console. They didn't take anything, mostly because my car is always clean and has almost nothing in it. They left both doors open during a really bad thunderstorm, but somehow not a single drop got inside the car.

Found out today someone's car actually was stolen in our neighborhood Sunday night. Stuff like this makes you lose faith in people

sorry to hear that man ... honestly if I ever saw some kids effing with my ride I would jam the butt-stock of a shotgun between their two front teeth.

news like this makes me angry lol

Long story short (I've posted it somewhere here before..), found a few teens breaking into my neighbors' car only a week after my 10th AE RX7 was broken into. I still use the backpack I "acquired" from the one I caught as my gym bag. Haven't heard of a car break-in in my area since

A year ago, I went grocery shopping and didn't lock my car after getting all the bags out. That night someone got my radar detector. The got into my son's car too, but only got a little change that he kept there.

Hate to hear stuff like this, when I was in high school my car was broken into twice. I like paimons idea though about what to do if you catch anyone doing this.

my 8 got broken into in Charlotte NC. I woke up to a car alarm and thought "eh well mine doesn't have an alarm....OH **** THE FACTORY ALARM," grabbed my glock and ran outside to find the driver side door open. damage was done to the door and right above it and they took a mini laptop but they were gone.

Glad to have insurance for this sort of stuff. I really wish I had a garage though.

I'd go to jail for assault if I ever caught anyone stealing anything. I hate thievery. In this day and age only savages need to steal. So I would beat them like the savages they are. We have someone in our neighborhood that ripped mirrors off of cars. They got mine too. If I ever see it they will pay with a broken limb.

Buncha savages man.

Ugh, I hate people. I left my GPS hangin in my car in Newark, NJ one night. (Yeah, I was wasted!) Needless to say some fuggin' mouth breather knocked my window in and grabbed it of course. The wosre part is, I had to pick up a friend at the airport and we were going out to the hills somewhere. Had to clean out my car and rush to radioshack and buy another. Didn't bother with the report. That morning sucked ballz.

The shotgun is more effective from the other end...

Not sure about other states, but in TX you can kill them for that... Not that I would, but I could.

I think TX might be the only state. Unless it turned into self defense or something.

Came close..sucks to hear though. I have never had anything happen to my 8(knock on wood) but i did have my truck broke into right outside my house when i was just sitin in my basement watchin a movie with my gf, didnt even hear anything. came out and everything was gone $4000 worth of stereo equipment. Then the next week parked in the same spot right outside my house some kids tried takin the whole dam thing but i heard my alarm and came out with a 12 gage and they took off. Never had a problem sense then.

Here, you can only shoot someone for self defense. You can't to defend property. An unauthorized person with a weapon in your house is grounds for a shooting. If you do shoot them and the crawls out the door, drag them back in. The first words out of your mouth when the police arrive should be "I was scared for my life. I thought he was going to kill me."

I love Texas lol!

I caught one trying to break in my wife's celica. Only my M-4 assault rifle had bullets at the time so I took it. He was hunched over working on the ignition when I tapped on the window with the barrel... I couldn't help laughing when I saw his face go from young Michael Jackson to old Michael Jackson in half a second.
Needless to say when the cops arrived they thought my weapon was a bit overkill :P
But I laughed about it and told them why.
All the damage on the door and ignition got taken care of free so now it's just a funny story.
