Blows. The one time I forget to take the face plate off my stereo is the day some head decides to jimmy my door open and take my . They took the stereo, a camera and even my case full of burned CDs (all MP3 CDs... as if they could get any money for that).
Scary part was they also got my garage door opener, so I was a little nervous coming into the house, but it appears they didn't find anything with my address.
So, if anyone else has had this happen... does it EVER get returned, or is giving the police all that detailed information about what was stolen just pointless conversation?
No..it never gets returned. My stepdad got his truck broken into and they stole his cd player. It wasn't even that good of a cd player, and they still took it.
I swear....theives are some stupid people. I once had my old blazer stolen....found it a few days later, with more gas in it than I had left it with, and all they stole was a towel.
No...it's never returned but it isn't pointless convervasion. It's for the insurance companies. Sorry that happened to you. Get a trunk monkey!
Christmas season is the worst for thefts, it seems. Don't leave your garage doors open, either. This time of year, people will just walk out with tools or whatever.
The police or county sheriff's office can check on similar modus operandi. Taking stereos + garage door openers could be a key to at least getting the dude(s) that did it....Maybe.
yeah, the police report is just for the insurance companies... i had my xterra broken into while i was at fox and the hound... i was in the process of moving so i had a bunch of stuff in my vehicle.. the only they took was my laptop... kind of funny though bc it was sooo old it barely worked. plus the battery was no good and i had the charger packed somewhere else. it was like an amd 266 or something.
i also had left the keys in the mid console...whew! i could've been reporting a stolen vehicle!
Careful!!!! You're not in Kansas anymore.
When I was in Jr. High, my parents' car was broken into and they took my purse (with all of $5 in it, I was 12). Three days later, someone turned in my wallet (sans cash) to the front office of my school. They'd found it cast aside and it had my school ID in it.
have had my house broken into about 5 times during the summers ive been gone.
Theyve spray painted the walls, bunches of stuff.
Nothin ever comes of it.
But damn, dont go 60 in a 55, those cops miraculously find you then......
My truck was broken into once...left the cd's and tapes...but stole my bowling ball!
I work for the police department and unfortunately, most of the time the property never gets returned. I've had my on personal vehicle broken into 2 times in the past 2/3 years and so I've learned to never leave anything expensive in there. It sucks but it's the reality in todays world.
KEDA, where were YOU on the night in question??
When we lived by Encino Park, someone walked into the garage and stole the dart board. They didn't touch the pool table or the other cool stuff in there. Just the dart board.
Before I married the Princess I'd sleep with the front door unlocked and sometimes even open. My theory was if someone was able to break in and take stuff without me waking up, they deserved the stuff.
Good Point.
During the Christmas season PLEASE don't leave anything in the vehicle-or we might meet!The Burglars are out there working too....be aware. Especially when ur Christmas shopping. Make sure to go home after u make a purchase(s) and then head back out into the streets.
For the record, we always lock the doors now.Before I married the Princess I'd sleep with the front door unlocked and sometimes even open. My theory was if someone was able to break in and take stuff without me waking up, they deserved the stuff.
Before that, he would leave the front door of his old townhouse wide open and be sleeping upstairs.
dang TIMVP, you nuts or somethin....
No Comment
Speak with my attorney on this matter
his name is MOUSE!
that sucks man....sorry to hear about it.
get used to it...
I have had two different Suburbans stolen and had vehicles broken into three other times for the stereos...plus I have had 4 home breakins over the years...
thieves suck...
I had my truck door's lock rammed through and a heavy 2 1/2 ton jack stolen out of the back seat. They left an expensive air compressor and emergency kit next to it behind. Go figure? It cost $250 bucks to fix the door and $50 for the jack. I have a Code Alarm system in the truck now with the shock sensor. If my truck alarm goes off now, I'm coming out with my shotgun and 000 buckshot. I'm a good shot too.
No wonder SW chose you over Mouse. You've got a bigger gun.I had my truck door's lock rammed through and a heavy 2 1/2 ton jack stolen out of the back seat.

It is a 12 gauge Magnum!No wonder SW chose you over Mouse. You've got a bigger gun.
Knock on wood, I've never had either happen to me. But my next door neighbor had their car broken into that was parked right in front of their house for the stereo.
My front door is usually unlocked from about now until the kids come in for the night.
a word of advise...My front door is usually unlocked from about now until the kids come in for the night.
We used to do that also...we always thought "well we live in a good neighborhood, etc"...we always left our breakfast room door unlocked when our daughter was out at night...last year someone walked into our house while my wife and I were in the bedroom and stole my wifes purse and her Tag watch and wedding rings off the counter next to the kitchen sink...
Yeah, I know...And I have a bad habit of leaving my back door unlocked. I wonder what my dog would do if someone she didn't know walked in. I swear, when she sees the Fedex and/or UPS guy, she sounds like she's ready to go for the jugular.
this is what the thought of YOUR dog attacking someone reminded me of...
