I just went out to my car about an hour ago and noticed somebody had broken into it! What a horrible dilemma, right?

Oh, wait, they only stole 3 empty CD cases and rifled through my glovebox that had nothing but paperwork in it. They also tried to steal my CD player but it is basically bolted into the car so they appear to have given up. This must have been the worst burglar ever. They didn't even siphon out my gas! I consider this a victory.

Has anybody else been robbed? Have any funny stories?

    Naked people.

    But don't bother looking, they've camouflaged themselves with your friend's clothes now.

    They could be anyone.

    Well this isn't the first time somebody has broken into a vehicle of mine.

    The last time was admittedly my fault as I was bad about locking my old car. That time they stole the faceplate to my CD player.

    Burglary standards are way down in this city.

    Never had anything stolen from my car, I leave it unlocked 90% of the time, too.
    The only thing I leave in it are some tools in the trunk that are impossible to get to unless you have the trunk key.

    I caught people trying to rob my apartment one night.

    I lived on the first floor of some old brownstones in the middle of a really shady part of town and my shit for brains roommate left the windows unlocked before he and his slut girlfriend left for the coast one weekend.

    I'm working on call and just happened to be up fixing a server issue when I hear my blinds move and then my front door open. I grab my baseball bat and jump out of my room to find my lights on, a tall skinny guy standing at my door letting his shorter friend in and some chubby girl with her ass half breach through my window... why she didn't just wait for the tall skinny guy to open the door I do not know.

    I scared the shit out of them- me in nothing but my undies holding a baseball bat yelling at the top of my lungs.

    I was so shocked I told them to come in, sit on my couch while I call the police.

    Turns out they were just white trash who thought they were going to steal a camera from somebody they knew... it was bizarre.

    A few years ago I left my car window slightly cracked.

    Apparently, somebody decided to pop the lock and dig through my car. They took a whole host of CDs, which sucked, but since I had them all ripped, it didn't matter all that much.

    The thing they took that really pissed me off...The thing that I didn't quite understand...it was in the console. Right between the driver and passenger seats. For years, I have always had this type of item in said console because sometimes you just need it.

    They took my goddamn Gillette Deodorant.

    I realize that, as a deodorant, it's the best a man can get, but...dude? It wasn't a new, unopened deodorant, it was well used. We're talkin' about need to replace within the next 2 weeks.

    I was honestly more irritated about that, than the damn CDs.


    My wife then made note that it was probably the vagrants who live down by the river (which is less than a mile from our house) and maybe they just wanted to smell better.

    Either way, they're rocking out to Jethro Tull while the fragrance of Wild Rain floats from their own personal pits of despair.

    Actually, this is a good point. I should probably make sure none of the important stuff is gone. It all looked the same as usual though.

    Man that is fucked. Kids used to steal M:tG, Pokemon, and other game cards from other kids back in middleschool. Just to teach nerds a lesson, or whatever. Except it was actual theft.

    One kid was turned in by their own parent and cried 'cause he thought he was going to jail.

    My dad's window got smashed a couple times when people broke in to steal nothing of value from his Toyota Tercel.

    So he started leaving his doors unlocked.

    And after they smashed his window a third time, he started leaving a sign saying the doors were unlocked.

    So far as we know, nobody ever even touched his car after that.

    And all this took place when he was working out of Police Headquarters in downtown Winnipeg, parking in the public parkade next door.
