Some asshat broke into my car

[Airborne]

Driving home from work I passed by where my mother works and see 5 cops standing around my mustang (I switched vehicles with my mother). I immediately thought she had some type of health issue leaving her office so I frantically drove up a do not enter into the parking lot and blew a stop sign.

Relieved she hadn't dropped dead, I find this:


Someone smashed the window with a brick to get inside. It's unclear whether they were trying to steal it and gave up or were just looking for stuff to steal.

My radar detector is missing. 
It was a cheap POS detector but worked. I got lucky.

I work on a job location where my vehicle is subject to random search upon entry, so thankfully I keep pretty much nothing inside my car except the bare necessities. Ironically I commute 200 miles a day and I switched cars with her to keep miles off it etc, it only has about 20K on it.

They called "csi" and dusted my car for prints. Apparently there has been a rash of break ins and stolen gps' etc. Its a good area and happened in broad daylight in an elementary school parking lot!

The cop asked me "Why (I) have a radar detector?"

That sucks. My parents always get on me about leaving stuff visible in the car even if they're not actually worth anything. Their story is that when I was a baby they didn't have a baby bag for diapers and junk so they used a camera bag. So one day someone bashed in the window to take a camera bag full of poopy diapers. 

Side note, mommy doesn't know how to park.

That really sucks man.


Maybe they were upset about your parking job!

Sorry, bad timing I'm sure, but I had to....

I keep my car trashed enough inside that any wise thief will move on lest they contract an infectious disease from within my nasty car.

I'm gonna remember that if I ever have kids.  Talk about a serious bait & switch!

Sorry to hear, that really sucks.

I think he parked it and then took his moms car... just saying.


That does suck, at least they didn't cut the top or back window to get in. I imagine a window would be cheaper and quicker to replace.

None of his make the beast with two backsing business would have been my response. If they are not illegal in your state, then it is of no concern to him why you own one.


A cheap POS one?


Didn't you have a Valentine One?

Do I get an additional puke smiley for 250 a day?
BTW, park all over NYC. Good neighborhoods, bad neighborhoods in all the boroughs and the only place that anything was ever stolen from my car? At home in my driveway one night when I forgot to lock it.

he was just bustin' your balls about the radar detector, unless he's off the reservation (or you are in Virginia I suppose)

The cop asked me "Why (I) have a radar detector?" 

Yeah, he sounds like he was busting your balls. Or maybe he's a stock holder in a VSAT company.

My car got broken into the night I got home from Indy. They stole my GPS and my digital camera (roomies DSLR was already inside). When I called the cops, they came out after about an hour, looked at the car, asked what was stolen and looked at me like i was some whiny little pregnant dog because my GPS and camera were stolen "ONLY" totalling around $500.

    That's just plain nuts. No offense...

No offense taken, I've been called nuts for as long as I can remember and it's a pretty decent description.

I hit 200k on my '06 Mazda 3 last week.
