Hmm...
Next time must lock doors.
Friend's car got broken into, seats ripped, bodycoat all painted over and everythin inside stolen or damaged. -
Unfortunately, that is true. The police don't have time to investigate piddly things like thefts from automobiles, as they have much more important things to do, like issuing speeding tickets and making it to the various donut shops before they close.Originally posted by Fatum:Just made my police report .....
The officer was sympathetic, but told me straight off that I'll just have to suck it up ..... it's unlikely anything will come out of it ....
ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH ! ........

Fatum! My Fishes

Karma!
She must be silently blaming you, and most likely would be a trump card in future disagreements. -
poor fatum!
I totally understand how it feels because I had my car broken into last time.
They stripped all my audio systems, amp, woofers!!
But please remember to lock your doors all the time. Never assume that its a safe neighbourhood thus don't need to lock..
There's always the slight chance that you might meet a dishonest person.. -
sorry to hear that. but the police is probably right on writing it off. move on.

Dunno how crime stats are reported in Fatum's neck of the woods, but over here, it goes something like this:Originally posted by Arapahoe:sorry to hear that. but the police is probably right on writing it off. move on.
Your unattended vehicle gets broken into, and you report it to the cops. The cops say that since it was a non-violent crime with no injuries, they can't be bothered to assign limited resources to investigate it. Since the break-in wasn't investigated, it doesn't get counted as a crime, and is therefore not included in the municipality's crime stats. Criminal activity is consequently underreported, and the police chief and his henchmen hiding behind badges and guns get fat bonuses from City Hall for "keeping the crime rate down" in the city.
In the meantime, the police are busy writing tickets and issuing citations for petty infractions in order to maintain the steady flow of revenue into the city's coffers--a much more profitable proposition than doing time-consuming and costly investigative work. -
My car got borken into n robbed 2 times.. everything gone. replaced and gone again..
overseas those thieves are pros man. -
I'm taking no more chances .... I'm looking at rigging up a mini surveillance camera outside my window, where it can watch over my car, I also priced out car alarm systems today, as well as more comprehensive insurance ...
I'm also looking for a voodoo doll for thieves if anyone knows where to get one ..... -
Poor fatum, hope u have recovered from the lost.

Instead of spending the time and money to install all those surveillance and security systems, why not just not keep anything of value in the car?Originally posted by Fatum:I'm taking no more chances ....

(In the over 15 years that I've owned vehicles here, I've never had one broken into as I seldom if ever keep anything of value in them.) -
For me, I always park next to cars better than mine.
