... d-a-m thief! garage broaken into; luckey just tools

ab - at least you got the cops to come out.  The lock my car was bashed in.  The radio was stolen out of my car along with a couple other things. Our local PD said someone will call me on Monday to take the report, sorry this happened to you.    Same thing when all the wheels were stolen off my wifes car. 
Someone stole my registration sticker and I had an attempted break in on our garage.  I didn't bother calling it in, no use.

 I have to point out that the police response here in Santa Maria, CA, is pretty bad.   It took them 4 hours to get here when I was burglarized.   Never heard a thing back from them either.   So as I mentioned, I still look into every open garage that I see.   I've called them when a bunch of idiot gang members decided they wanted to keep doing burnouts in their piece of crap cars in front of the pool here.   It took them over 45 minutes to come, and there were little kids hanging around when these guys were doing their stunts.   And they didn't do a thing, they talk to these punks like they are their buddies.   We've got a very bad gang problem here, along with a really bad illegal alien issue, and the attendant problems related to both,  no drivers license, no insurance, no registration, robberies and burglaries, and the police don't do anything about either.  So, I've come to the conclusion that you can't rely on the Santa Maria Police Department for anything.  It might be time for some high definition cameras, along with an alarm system.

Sounds like your thugs might like the idea of making a video with your security cameras. Especially if they know nothing will come from it. That is unless you are the one to intervene and not the cops. Sometimes that just leads to more problems... unfortunately. Sorry your neighborhood's in the toilet.

some good suggestions; inferd door bell is a good idea; dog id like; wife doesnt;garage alarm; motion lights (which we already have and the neignbour has; it could be an addict or a neighbour or new local tennants; the neighbours are good;

tools more annoying than anything; I went to do some tinkering and oh ya thats gone too.  I;m keeping an eye on CL to see if the stuff surfaces ... if it does I'll happliy visit with a can of mace and a baseball bat and wount leave untill all the stuff is recovered right then and there ...
