So Thursday night i apparently accidentally rolled down my back windows while trying to roll down the front windows. At the time musta just said fuck it and opened all the windows. But, when i got home, since i never roll down my back windows in the first place and i didnt realize they were open i only rolled up the back windows.

So i go to work again Friday and i realize the back windows are down, and instantly think fuckin A to myself. (I live in an apartment complex and i know theres always random lil black and muslim kids walking around all night) So i look in the back (which is a complete mess with like half my wardrobe, magazines, soccer bag, bball bag, shoes, sandals, etc..) and i just take a quick glance to see if my almost brand new pearly white sneakers are back there (since i knew those were most visible and the most likely thing they would take since they were prolly in a rush to grab n go) and they were so im like sweet i got lucky, better not do that again.

Along comes Sat. and back to work i go. I hop in my car and right away I'm like y the fuck is my seat so far up. I think back if i let anyone drive my car last night and nope that didnt happen. Then i look at the mileage and i have no clue what it was at the night before but for some reason it seemed higher than it should be. (I reset the odometer every time i fill up and i would guestimate it should been at like 130 to 140 but it was at 175) So i'm like wtf still dont know whats going on. On my way to work i stop at KFC and as im trying to pay i grab for some change from my change jar and its not there. So immediately i realize what happened. A couple months ago i lost my car key at lifetime and had my buddy drive me home to get my spare. By the time i got back to lifetime they had found my original key so i just threw the extra in my gym bag, bc i was in gym shorts and had no pockets. So i look back and realize they stole both my gym bag and my soccer bag and my key was in the gym bag. So im about 95% sure they took the car for a joy ride fri night and put it back in the same spot.

Now idk wtf to do, the only thing i could think of was to call the cops and report the stuff stolen, get a club for the steering wheel and i got my roomate to let me park in his garage spot for a couple nights. Well i worked all night sat and was gone all day sunday so i just called the cops to report it and they told me they'd call me back cuz they were busy. So im going to my car to go do laundry and mow my parents yard, walk in the garage and its gone....

I call the cops right back and report the car stolen now, they take my info down and tell me there busy and they'll send someone over when they have time WTF. I realize they would prioritize some things ahead of car theft but still aghhhhhh

Edit: My roomate just left and i asked him to drive thru the parking lot and see if they brought it back again and he found it parked on the opposite side of the complex. So someone is taking my car around for joy rides at night, guess im gonna have to shovel out tons of money to get the locks changed fuckin A

Woot woot, from MN too! Where da MN oters at

I always keep a 50 dollar bill in the visor too, in case i dont have cash and im in the boonies or whatever and they dont take plastic. So right away when i realized what happened i looked to see if they found that and i actually had 2, 50 dollar bills that i didnt even know about the second one but they were both there.

Also my friends car got broken into when we were in chicago for the white sox v twins play in game, they broke the back window and took both our backpacks that were lying on the seat and left both our laptops that were chilin on the floor in the back. fkin brilliant criminals

Sucks to hear. My car was broken into at a hotel/casino here in St. Louis, my friends Mustang, as well as Range Rovers, and other high end cars were parked in the same garage and area as mine due to some fashion show going on at the hotel that night, apparently mine was the only one they broke into, nothing to steal as I had a factory stereo. They just caused $1500 in damage on it. lol

def. shoulda put a camera or two in the car and let them do it again... then called the cops... ffs

Ive had two cars stolen.

I got them both back, but the cops absolutely make the process 10x's more difficult. When my first car was stolen, i called the cops and it took them about 6 hours to show up and take my info. Then the next day I get a call from a random guy asking me about my car. Apparently the thing was left on his block and the wheels, stereo, ect we gone and he went through and found an old reciept of mine and called me.

Well i didnt know the area at all where the car was, so I didnt want to go up there. I called the cops and told them where the car was. Like a day later they go get it. But what they did was, they took my car to a junk yard. I go to pick up my car and I have to pay $225 to get it out of the junk yard. And since it didnt have wheels, I had to put the stock ones back on. Well the junkyark wouldnt let me work on my car on their property and no one would put them on for me. So They forced me to call a flat bad truck to take my car 100 feet out into the street to put my wheels on. GG another $60.

At this point, my car suspension is completely fucked. The thieves left it on blocks, but the cops just beat the shit out of the thing, then made me pay almost $300 to get it back.

Thanks!

buy a gun and post up by your car but out of sight. when kids come. show them the gun and get your shit back. shoot em if you have to and make sure to sprinkle some crack on them

Here is what you NEED to do. Don't put new locks on the car. Place video camera near your car and in your car. Get tracking device for the car. Find who they are, where they live, go blow their car up in the middle of the night. Than change locks

So, somebody borrowed your car for a couple hours, paid you $50 and you're complainin'?

Just consider that if you change the locks, you'll never get those clothes back that they dropped off at the cleaners for you...

looooooooooool awesome.

this sounds like a completely awesome way to mindfuck somebody...keep stealing their car at night and taking one small thing at a time.

i know nobody likes Dane Cook here, but the bit he does about B&E that always made me crack up...you come home and drive yourself nuts trying to figure out what they took--when the whole time they've never taken anything.

The plan was to do the stake out tonight. I worked all night fri, sat, and woke up and 9:30 sunday ( which is super early for me) and played 3 soccer games so i was tired as fuck and wasnt gonna be able to stay up.

Say what you want, I'm not racist. I dont know a single other white family that lives in this complex. Theres blacks, muslims, and mexicans. Of the kids running around after midnight, 70% are black, 25% are muslim, and 5% are mexican. There is one like 15 or 16 year old white girl that lives here somewhere and she is literally the only one i have ever seen. Plus they stole my soccer bag and my bball bag and today i found my soccer shoes lying outside a door to a different building. Let's see they left the soccer shoes and kept the bball shoes, therefore since there are no white kids, and the mexicans and muslims would never throw away a 200 dollar pair of soccer shoes, that leaves the blacks. (only semi joking)

A little off subject, but I live in Minnesota aswell, and in the winter it is common practice to start your car 15-20 minutes before your going to leave so its warm when you get in it. Well this meant every morning there would be tons of unattended cars just sitting around with the keys in them, so a ton of my buddies had a game where we would go and take there car and move it a few blocks away and just leave it there. After a while of this it got boring, and we progressed to just random cars. After almost getting caught a few times, and getting chased by a guy with a bat we decided that it probably wasn't the greatst idea. Was pretty fun for a while though.

easy, lay down in the back seat with a baseball bat and put all your stuff over you to hide. if the punks come and go for another ride, boom you got um. if not you can still sleep.
