Tried to steal

[gk666]

So it's 3 am.... midst hurricane... I'm in a severely white neighborhood and all of a sudden I hear my car start up and I run outside thinking it must be my buddy john being a dumbass... open and the door and it's some ****ing mexican and I was like what the **** is your problem get the **** out of my car and he jumped out and ****ing sprinted away yelling sorry before I had time to beat the sh*t out him... I'm assuming he couldn't figure out the ratchet shifter but I felt sorry for my carburetor because he just turned it on and started reving it without letting it warm up... kinda worried it's gonna run like sh*t tomorrow but *shrug*... he left, what I'm assuming was his shirt to break my windshield quietly in the car so I'm going to drop that off at the cops and see if they can't hunt down that piece of sh*t... Just saying you guys were right... Your gbody will get stolen even if you live the last place you would expect it to happen.

That really sux, I'm assuming you don't have any kind of alarm system installed?

dumbass broke the window?! that sucks.
some one tried to steel my old el camino a few years ago. they popped the lock with a screwdriver and smashed the column but couldnt get it started. battery was dead. no transmission fluid either, it wouldn't have gone far.

you should invest in column lock there about a 100 but a good anti theft device out in Indiana car get stole all the time. I have a rachette shifter too most ppl cant figure out how to use them

Robbing a car in a hurricane?!?!? That takes the cake. My guess is he had you scoped out and this was the best opportunity. Good thing you chased him off, but what balls, eh?

My Cutlass was stolen back in 1986 while in class.. came out and it was gone.. recovered in West Philly?!?!? Then had it fixed and it was stolen 2 months later while parked at my friends house.. found in Camden , NJ... Trying telling your mom this story (2x)... Now all my muscle cars have a fuel cut off , battery cut off and Lo-jack... (If I catch them, me and my good friends Smith and Wesson.. will just drag them into the garage and use the vice on their hands, and the bolt cutters are great for the fingers..ballpeen hammers are great for breaking and chipping teeth in half... The soldering iron is great for branding "Thief" on their cheek.. Durring the hurricane, nobody can really hear the screaming..I just turn up the Avenged Sevenfold on the cd player... . of course my actions are totally hypothetically speaking. I have learned to be a more reasonable person.. maybe.. )

I agree that he must have had your car cased out. A column lock is a good thing to invest in. I used mine everyday when I lived in the NYC metro area. It's certainly a deterrent. I think most thieves who would see that would back off. An ignition cut-off switch would also be a positive addition. a battery cut-off switch is another inexpensive deterrent. The trick is to make it as difficult for a thief as possible.
If he has a tow truck...oh well!

whoa close call. A guy got his place robbed near me last week so I'm taking extra precautions with the cutlass right now, I find one good thing besides all the safety is to be out working on the car a lot and neighbors that are outside during the day. Which isnt happening much right now in this houston sauna.

yeah people are so ****ed up... he didn't break the window because the doors were unlocked... he also managed not to steal my ipod.. personally I think someone dared him to do because he was only like 16 maybe but yeah I'm still trying to figure out if maybe they noticed that I pretty much park in the same spot every Friday night and don't move my car for a day or more. Yesterday I had no faith in humanity... today I don't even know whats below that. I doubt I'll be getting a columb lock soon but a nicely hidden fuel cutoff is otw

So good luck to all of you with these god damn looters..... when it's mildly breezy outside -.-
