Azure79 Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Today I worked. One crisis after another. Worked Late. Took the train home. YAY! Someone smashed the window of my car and stole my car stereo. Funny thing is the rear door was unlocked. I drive a beat up Hyundai Accent 2001 model. That car stereo must have looked mighty enticing. Called police but they told me that they didn't come out for petty vandalism and told me to go home, get on the internet, download and fill out a crime report and send it in by mail. Now I'll have to file a report, get my car to the service center, go through claims reporting, all that fun stuff. Anyone know how much it costs to get a window repaired?
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I've had driver side windows cost me anywhere from 80 to 160 dollars. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Oerwinde Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I remember this guy died while hiking on vacation up here. His wife came up to get his belongings they recovered. Put the boxes on the back seat and while she was having dinner someone broke into the car and took everything. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Gorth Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I feel for you Azure79. Happened to my parents car quite a few years ago. Although the lowlifes didn't get anything for their efforts, the advertising that claimed it was hard to steal was right. The dash board (or should I say smash board) was in a pretty bad shape, but the car stereo had refused to budge. I don't get it though, how much can a violently removed car stereo be worth to anyone? You would think it would be easier to put the same effort into a regular job. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Tale Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I vandalized a few cars in my youth. In regards to vandalism over theft, I can tell you the root cause is one thing: boredom. Theft is a different issue. Walsh showed curiosity over why they can't just put that effort into a regular job. Well, in some cases it's because they can't hold down a job. Much theft is drug abuse related. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Sand Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Since I never vandalized anything in my youth I guess I was never bored.
