My car was broken into last night...
 
So, that's the bad news. The good news is I can't see that they took anything (CD player, speakers, amps, etc). The alarm might have scared them or something.

I have a $500 deductible, so I want to see if I can buy a window somewhere and do the installation myself.

Just keeping a count here -
August '05 - Integra broken into, stolen stereo
August '06 - Integra, freshly turbo'd- whole car stolen
July '07 - 325i window broken into, nothing stolen

Stupid thieves, get a ------- job >:(

I think it's time to start incorperating claymores into car alarms. If you're gonna loose your car to theives, might as well konw you got the theif too.

I just can't fathom living in an area that most of you guys live in. If a car is stolen round here, it's usually cause your drunk ass totalled it and reported it stolen for insurance.

I moved after the integra was stolen. I used to live off the Bothell Everett Hwy (that is fairly ghetto), but where I live now isn't bad. I'm thinking it was just some kid who wanted to smash a window.

EDIT: looking online, found a window pretty cheap

I live in Bremerton now and I still think it's a great place to live, but there are assholes in every town. Everett can burn to the ground as far as I'm concerned. That town owes me exactly 1 turbo Integra.

Got a great price from Aurora Auto Wreckers... $45 for the window + $15 to ship it (it's an hour and a half each way from Bremerton, so I don't feel like getting it). I have an extra vehicle I can use, so time isn't really an issue.

At least your not in Tacoma...

A buddy had his car shot up with an AK randomly....police said it was some sort of gang initiation thing. It was pretty funny him driving around his family station wagon with bullet holes all over the back.

Then a hit and run while he was parked on the street....30 mph into his grill and the driver jumped out of their shitty Chrysler and ran away leaving it running in his front yard.

lol.. that 2nd one was funny.

Yeah, I'm pretty fortunate they didn't steal anything or try to ---- with my ignition... I just couldn't afford that kind of BS now.

Thats hillarious, because its exactly the same way where I am, I usually leave my car unlocked/top off, and I dont have any kind of alarm or security at all. Never even worried about it. Next time it comes out of the garage I will have a few anti-theft bells on it.

One of my friends did that, told everyone his eclipse was stolen, we didnt really believe him but what can u do, he came clean after the insuance company did an investigation.

ill leave the my cars with the top off or the windows down and the keys on the seat. hell sometimes ill leave it running with the windows down when i run into a store real quick. western maryland FTW.


Now, if im down at school its another story. college park gets BAD. not to mention going into baltimore or dc(im about 15 minutes away from both). Then ill shrinkwrap the car and take the wheels and leave it on blocks so the thieves cant do it. its ridiculous down there.

But living here kicks ass

your a dumbass. 95% of the parking on a large university is in large open lots on the campus, not parking decks. the only parking decks on campus are by the comcast center and chevy chase stadium, all others are normal lots.

you still get your ---- broken into and stripped in the towers though. no cameras

Man I leave my car unlocked all the time. A lot of times if I know it's not going to rain I even leave the top off.

Yeah a family I know must have originated 'ghost ride the whip' only their version is off the road cause they can't afford the payments anymore. People are brilliant around here. ::) I'd still rather live in bfe small town usa with this ---- than an area with theives that are actually semi-intelligent and thrifty.
