Stolen car stereo

(1 / 7)


Some nice person stole my car stereo (parked at the side of 735)sometime between
6a.m. and 3p.m.yesterday.It could happen to you !!!!!
The only minor consolation is that there were so many bits of it left behind on 
my car floor my car floor that the obviously amateur thief probably has an unsaleable 
item on his/her hands.

STOLEN CAR STEREO's

THERE HAS BEEN A RASH OF SIMILAR THEFTS AROUND THE NEW BUILDINGS OFF OF
NORTH FIRST STREET, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 237. THE THEIFS ARE PROBABLY DRUG
ADDICTS THAT NEED TO SUPPORT THEIR HABIT. THESE GUYS THINK NOTHING OF USING
A CROW BAR TO GAIN ENTRY INTO YOUR CAR, AND WILL WORK IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IN 
FRONT OF A ROW OF WINDOWS.

IT WOULD BE WISE IF YOU HAVE A "MARKETABLE" STEREO IN YOUR CAR, TO PARK IN 
AN AREA WHERE YOU CAN KEEP AN EYE ON IT MOST OF THE DAY.

break ins

(4 / 7)


I also had a breakin on my car. They didn't get much, just three dollars,
an empty check book, my drivers licence, social security card, and birth
certificate. But they smashed my right window to smitherines to get the
stuff. I had desided to install a cianide car alarm, so that these bad
people won't get away. (thats "have" not "had" on line 4, word 3 -- oops)

Hit (aka smash and grab) and run

	Perhaps Atari Games should consider a new line of business.
Do you think that there would be a market for silent car alarms?

	Maybe the perfect car alarm system could be designed to toss
out a cheapo fakeo stereo. The stupid thief would be satisfied and 
leave your car alone.


	Why would anyone leave their wallet in their car?

Car Alarm

(7 / 7)


I suggest you do what I did. 

	1. Get your car stolen.
	2. Have it returned with no radio.
	3. Dont replace radio.
	4. While leaving car unattended leave nothing of value in car and
	   leave the windows open.

If you follow these simple steps I assume your car will have a better chance
of being looked over.

PS Perhaps the reinstitution of the death penalty would send a message to up
   and coming thieves.
