So this morning my car was broken into this morning. They popped my window out of its frame, and unlocked the door. I didn't have anything in there to take, and I think the alarm scared them off, but it just pisses me off. Why can't people leave other folks stuff the hell alone:mad:

Last week my neighborhood had 6 cars stolen on the same morning. 3 where hot wired and three got taken while they where warming up. Luckily my stuff is to crappy to steal.

Always makes you wonder...
Also makes me glad I park my junk in a locked garage... more of a deterrent.
I've had two vehicles broken into over the years, lost a lot of stereo gear and a few vandalized. Most annoying one was when someone grunted an ugly in the bed of my 89 K5 with the shell off. Fortunately they pood on an old foormat so I didn't have to replace the carpet.

Truthfully I laughed quite a bit after I figured out the smell, but it was annoying. They could have taken quite a bit out of that truck had they looked a little closer.

My cherokee was broken into last week. All they had to do is punch a hole right below the keyhole. Cops said it took them all of 1 minute to get in, so Cherokee owners beware! They took a laptop and tons of other stuff. We were parked in a hospital parking lot in Sandy. POS thieves! Someday there will be a day of reckoning.

Here's part of a story on KSL from yesterday that shows part of the problem:ugh:

"Roll's arrest last night was his second that day. When officers saw him with Zabriskie's stolen car, he had only been out of jail for several hours.
Earlier in the day, Roll was seen peeking in windows and trying doors of houses in this area of 2200 East and 2100 South. He left the area on a bus, but officers spotted the bus five blocks away and arrested him.
Police say Roll had broken into a car and had a stolen car stereo and an ID belonging to a woman. He was taken to jail for vehicle burglary and for four warrants but was released shortly afterward because of overcrowding.
Roll is now back in jail for having the stolen car, and police hope he'll have information about the burglary at Zabriskie's home."
 

UNSTUCK

But stuck more often.
Its time to shoot these worthless pieces of trash!!! Since they wont learn and the courts just keep putting them back out on the street!!!! Or cut off one of there hands!

Or both! Cause they'd just steal with the other.

A lot of the time in SLC county when people are taken to jail, that officer has to submit paperwork for charges to the DA's office. They have 72 hours to file on those charges while he sits in jail. If they do not file in that time frame they are released. I can tell you, car burglary is on the bottom of the list when they stack it up against assaults, sex crimes, etc on top of that... the car stuff falls out the bottom.

Huge problem in salt lake county... jails are MASSIVELY overcrowded! Good thing they have money to waste time and money on Mudflaps and Fender flare violations.

Desperate times we are in, everyone is broke. It's a good time to be more pro-active about removing stereo faces, i pods etc. I keep a back pack with me with all my stuff in it it goes where I go. I don't leave anything in my car.

I agree too.

Most of these thieves have two methods: They try the doors on your vehicles and if they are open then they look closer. Others have small flashlights and look for anything in sight, if they see something they want then they break your windows, locks, etc.

It's even happening in places you wouldn't think and at times you wouldn't think. A few weeks ago I took a vehicle burglary call at about 9 PM at an LDS church parking lot. This 9 1/2 month pregnant woman's window was smashed and her QUILT that wasn't finished was taken!

Thieves are dumb. I have replaced alot of windows on cars that the people said weren't even locked and the dumb thief still broke the window. The way they break them is dumb as well. About 90% of the break ins I see the theif thinks, I'll put a screw driver in and try to pry the window out. The smarter ones use the porcelain from a spark plug attached to a rubber hose (we find them all the time in cars). Then tehy just flick it and tink the windows broke.

I've been there too. Right in the middle of church. We lost our radio and cd's. All of my wifes Billy Joel stuff, so it wasn't a huge loss. :rofl: I did feel kind of stupid though, cleaning up a broken window and glass off the ground while other people were getting into thier cars around us.

Another excuse I can use to skip church;)

Now normally I don't say too many mean things and I find myself pretty well-mannered when it comes to not judging people that I don't know....

:rant on:
However, that being said, I must vent for a second, :mad2: THIEVES YOU ARE THE LOWEST OF THE LOW! YOU ARE ALL SCUM! I have always felt this way about thieves. Nothing disgusts me more than people who so easily take items in which other people worked so hard to earn and aqcuire. KNOCK IT OFF! And don't even try to come back at me by saying "oh well we earned it by working hard too because it takes a good theif to get the expensive stuff." .. That just means your on the bottom of the scum list because you've become overwhelmed and addicted the rush of ripping off other peoples loved items. Personally if I catch a theif red-handed stealing something of mine I don't care if I go to jail I will kick their @$$ with a metal pipe until they are knocked unconcious.

Seriously, knock off the childish behavior... and for the sake of good neighborhoods, if anyone knows a theif, I ask that you turn them in, friend, family, anyone I don't care. Do whats right, a true friend will help them kick their terrible habit. From a candy bar to a Mercedes to identity theft, no matter what, you didn't earn it. Kiss my knuckles suckerfish. :cody:

*Sigh*, :rant off:

I've had the intense pleasure of catching 2 thieves in my life, and they both got what they had coming. I can't say I"m really... proud of beating another human being like that, but I don't spend much time being real upset about it either.

The first was a local dumbsh*t that stole my bike... but I had the seat and the front wheel... after I threw him off his own 6' high porch and beat on him a bit, he went to jail when the cops showed up... after his mom called them on ME. :D

The second was a hood-rat POS in East Cleveland, which uhmmm has no streetlights, it's real presidential, you know? THAT was an epic ass-whooping to rival any that guy is likely to live through again. He was breathing when I left, but I"m not sure how well. His buddy got away with about 20rolls of film that were irreplaceable, and I was real tired of East Cleveland then too. He chose poorly, and paid dearly.
