not last night, but the night before... someone (i'm thinking a bum) broke the window above the lock on the driver's side door, then broke the top of the window.. (i'm assuming this is when he figured out the door wouldn't just open by popping the lock due to the security measure i had - so he began to start stealing) then they moved to the passenger's side and leveled the entire window into the car.. broke the glovebox.. and stole the following.. a knife my driver's liscense my cigarettes a camera an empty wallet the controller to my cd changer my garage door opener at this point my dog started barking and my neighbor went outside with his rifle and scared dude off.. thankfully, because he hadn't gotten to my 4k system yet.. but anyway.. why the driver's liscense and cigarettes? at least i get windows and regulators (driver's side was busted before), a new glovebox (also busted before), new upholstery both front seats (burned a little before), 200$ cash from the insurance company and a day off work .. so some positive comes out of this.  __________________

I'm assuming you invested in an alarm if you put $4k worth of stereo equipment in your car, and you live I an area with "bums". You should change the code on your garage door opener ASAP, otherwise he'll come back for your family.... __________________

Dude, thats bad, but good. lol
IMMEDIATLY change your garage door code/opener, or disable it for the moment. and if you have a garage, why not park it in their? (sorry if its full already, just a question)
did you get your car dusted by cops?
something like this happened to me, cept the guy got into my garage and went through our cars and stole 2k worth of lawn/car equipment, luckily my brother had just washed the car he got into and they caught him w/ fingerprints.... | | | | | 05-11-2006, 06:00 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Montclair, VA Posts: 338 |

Drivers Liscense = Identity theft. A good liscense is worth 20 to a 100 bucks on "the market"
I sugest you contact the identity theft division at your local police dept. By now you likely own walmart. There are specific steps to take to cover your backside.... __________________

Just wondering... but why do you leave your liscence in the car? | | | | | 05-11-2006, 06:16 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Montclair, VA Posts: 338 |
i leave it in the middle console with my knife (also stolen), cigarettes (also stolen), lighter (NOT stolen), nova ID (NOT stolen), chapstick (NOT stolen) as like the things i'll need when out with the car, but things i don't want to have to keep tabs on.. i've already lost the liscense once before so now i just keep it in the car __________________
