I woke up early today. Was just another normal morning getting ready to go to work. I grabbed my radio and my jacket and went to the street. I went near my car (an old Fiat), disarmed the alarm (I have to do it near the hood because the controller is jammed. Also the alarm does not automatically opens doors so i have to do both things). Has i was approaching the lock, i noticed something strange and "BANG!!", my brain woke up completely (I`m like a robot in the morning), the lock was totally destroyed... I quickly realized somebody broke into my car... Not only they destroyed the drivers door look, they also destroyed the passengers look... Surprisingly the inside was untouched (even if they wanted to steal something, there would be nothing to steal). I still don`t know the robber\robbers intentions but probably the alarm went off and they got scared, or something else. I still feel my cold body when I saw the lock. One of the most horrible feelings ever. We take good care of our rides for some no lifer mess everything up. This is the first time I was in a situation like this. Well i just needed to share this. Just trying to get it out my chest :(
 
I hate that feeling so much.

I remember when I had my old Skyline I had parked in the designated parks for work one morning (I started work at 5am and it was still dark), where unfortunately there's no cameras. I walked into work, came back out at 11am and hopped in the car, started it up and was about to crank up the stereo and drive off. No bass. Got out, checked out the boot, some bastards must have seen me park up (I have no idea how they knew I had it), smashed the lock and got into my boot and nicked my $350 Rockford Fosgate sub out of the boot. That just completely killed my mood.
 
I've not had a car stolen, but I've had it vandalised.

I came home from uni for the weekend, woke up the next day, went out to the car and found the windscreen smashed, bonnet dented, scratches down the drivers door, various trim pieces ripped off and chucked on the ground. Judging from the foot prints on the bonnet they had jumped up and kicked in the windscreen in.

They didn't even want to get into the car, I presume they were some drunken idiots on the way home on a Friday night who thought it would be funny to smash my car in.

Do you know what the best part was? It was parked in a police station car park.
 
When I was in school some punk hopped up on my car & ran across the roof. Sorry for him I was in the car still. Even more so because it was still running & I gunned it making has head split open on the ground. Mess with my car & I'll mess with your life. :D
 
this hasn't happened to me since i cant drive, but it has a happened to my dads Mazda 323,
it was parked in parking lot and when he got back it was gone. so he and a friend went looking around the city for it and eventually found it hidden with no more tires.
 
I once had the privilege of seeing a kid try to steal my car in broad daylight, right in front of me.

Go easy on him, I did not.

All of them, I was not going to go medieval on a 17 yr old... But he did get quite the ride to the police station, where he fessed up, in tears and obviously quite shocked.

Err... it's a car. I'm fairly certain that putting someone's life at risk for damaging it is a little excessive.

Okay, I won't curb someone over it. But an evening batting practice isn't out of the question.

But my car has been broken into twice; the first was just missing some cassette tapes (this was 1993), but the latter episode was a year later...lost an entire semester of textbooks and notes with three weeks left in the semester, which really hurt. Fortunately, I had receipts for the missing books (not surprisingly, insurance companies pay-back better than school bookstores), and thankfully, didn't fail anything.

My wife's car lost a CD player and the CD inside of it. Clean theft, otherwise...no mangling; we still had the factory radio, and back it went with no fuss. Best Buy kept their promise to re-install the initial unit for free.
 
Unfortunately it comes down to how much of an opportunity you present.
The short version is people had broken into 2 of our cars, my head unit was the crappier of the 2 and my brothers got stolen.

Later I had my car at a auto shop, cars were broken into,mine had the good stuff. But because it was locked they broke the window AND took my stuff.

Question is, should I just have left it unlocked and not had to deal with a broken window as well?

So now, I usually don't park that's not in plain sight or where I can see it. I also have a little security sticker and was thinking about getting one of those flashing security fake alarms too. So when someone is looking at something to snoop in are they going to go with the car that looks easy or the one that isn't?
 
I used to work for a valet company and I have had to deal many many times with cars getting broken into and basically we had to do whatever we could to stop that from happening I won't go into detail. there was a time where I was working with 1 other guy at a restaurant and this guy stole one of our cars right off the lot in plain sight. Ill tell you running down a road dodging traffic who has just stolen a car from us isn't fun and neither is explaining it to the person whose car it was.
 
I've had a fair few motorcycles stolen so can imagine how you feel.

The initial confusion and then the horrific numb feeling of anger. It's people who do these thing who ruin it for the rest of us.

I value my car above most others lives. Putting them in the grave is cheaper than jail.

It's scary, but not surprising, that people think like you.




My mom had her truck broken into a couple years ago. She wasn't very smart by leaving her purse with the following items in it: 2 iPods, 2 phones, a credit card, $200, and her checkbook. We ended up finding out who did it without the police's help but they wanted nothing to do with it because being a crappy area they had more important things to deal with. She also left her keys in the door but it was luckily just a smash & grab so they didn't bother to look around for keys. We're pretty sure they watched us park and her put the purse in the back seat. But why my mom put the purse in plain sight in the back seat is beyond me. It was "rich people's night" (I call it that, it's just where all the business owners go to try different alcohols) at the zoo where my mom works, and she parked there while we went to a baseball game, and I ended up seeing an old 30's Roll's Royce and Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder which helped my mood.
 
Been that road before during a holiday trip (on the way home coming from St-Paul-de-Vence/Cannes). Tape, amplifier and loudspeakers (quite the best Kenwood system these days) plus 2 leather jackets and some gifts (glasses from Biot) out of the trunk.
Long time ago, I can still feel my bad feelings when I discovered that one window was broken... :(

Hope thieves have died the very next day!

I worked hard to buy my vehicles & if you have the gall to steal or harm them I'm returning the kindness. My vehicles are apart of my family & if you hurt my family I'm hurting you.
 
So you would kill someone just because they stole or damaged something you bought? I understand (and I think we all can) that you like your cars but it's not worth taking someone's life over. And even if you did kill someone over your car, you'd be put in jail, so it'd be pretty pointless when you can't enjoy the thing you killed someone over.
 
Most likely they will have a weapon on them so it would be well within my rights to send them to hell.
 
I also defend the idea that those who do things like this to our cars or proprieties deserve, at least, a very good beating... If they eventually died, the truth is, I would not feel any sad at all.

I have always stated something along my life:

"There is more then 7 billion people on Earth. Why waste your time and emotions with does that only have bad intentions against you and others?"

I completely understand that some people have respect for human life, but I personally can`t find nothing but cold blood to those people.

Another point I believe was not mentioned was the money you have to spend for what others ruined... (In case your insurance doesn`t cover the damages done).

You build your life following the rules of society to later have this people that completely avoid them and go against you...

I also thought, to avoid the death scenario, to throw them into the jungle, but later I started felling bad for the animals... :D

👍

I'm a nice guy but if you take away my kindness I'm the most hateful satanic **** ever. Being nice to others is earned just like respect & trust.
 
We had a couple of teens break into our minivan once. They stole a phone charger, laptop and other little things. We got the phone charger back but the laptop was never found.

3 years later it happened again. Latop and phone charger stolen. Luckily they wer ethen pulled over for speeding and the police found it all and returned it to us.

The first sucked though, had all our work stuff on it including tax returns, business/profit reports etc tnhe whole 9.
