My car was broken into in Livermore a few months back. I had my wallet in the car, Garmin GPS, iPod and some expensive sunglasses. The stupid kids took the 20$ cash and my iPod. Didn't touch the credit cards, GPS or sunglasses. This was in a nice neighborhood, which is where car thieves go because people have nice stuff and nice cars. Sucks about your stuff I know how you feel.

 

i hope karma ****s up the thieves

i hate theives

 

yeah, thieves made me sell my nice SLR camera, you cant take good pics unless you bring your camera EVERYWHERE with you...

i might bolt down a safe box in my spare wheel well, since i dont carry my spare anyways...but a safe is extra weight

 

I think the key is to make your car look like there's nothing worth stealing in it.

My stock stereo wasn't touched at all.

I'm thinking I need to rig up a storage bag under the glove compartment to hold stuff, but can't be seen from outside the car. Then make sure the rest of the car is bare.

Maybe I need an alarm system. I think it would have deterred these "petty thieves who knew what they were doing".

 

was there glass everywhere? or were they smart and put tape over ur window then break it. it helps keep it quiet and clean.

 

in SF, i never leave anything in view, it was completely empty looking the night i got broken into. The faceplate of my stereo hidden, nothing anywhere.

They got in, popped my trunk (maybe i should relocate the cable?) and were off.

They left my stereo faceplate, gift cards, skateboard...weird.

 

Sorry to hear what happened... that really sucks!!!

About 8 months ago, both my left & right sides neighbors' cars got broken into in front of their homes (3 cars total & two were actually parked on driveway). There was no damage nor marks to windows or keyholes! Still a mystery how they did it... super remote? Nothing valueable was taken... maybe a jacket, which was returned a couple of days later! WTF?!

A month prior to that, a different car of my same left side neighbor was broken into... twice in a week!!! Her school backpack was stolen & recovered nearby a middle school by the principal. We were suspecting kids from that middle school were bored & did this.

Yes... what goes around will come around! I don't mean just their car or stuff will get stolen back but something bigger unfortune will happen to those low life bastards!!!

 

damn.. i have a garmin mount on my car from the previous owner i dont even own a GPS. i will go home and remove the mount so i dont get targeted

thanks for the heads up
