When I get my hands on them, I'm gonna...

I went to my car to drive out to the country to spend the day with mum.

Surprise, Sidney!

The lock was broken. Looks like someone used a screwdriver on it. The glove compratment was left open - servers those bastards right that I don't have anything valuable to steal, not even a measly radio! Ha!
I checked to see if they had tried to start the car, but the cables are all in order, so I think they either weren't interested in the car itself, or they were interrupted in time. But the car won't start. I can't turn the key, no matter which way I turn.

Dad's a mechanic, he can fix it when he comes home from a trip tomorrow evening. It was probably some damned junkies hoping to find something to steal to get another fix.If I ever find out who did this, I'm gonna stick a suitable object up their rectum - the engine fuse pipe sounds good... just like in The Mask.

Excuse me, I'll go and check if the hood caps are stolen before I call the police and the insurance company - they were brand new and good-looking...

That gives me an idea to prevent such break-ins ... a quarrantine sign!

WARNING: This vehicle has been exposed to ...

(and leave an uncapped test tube containing some noxious-looking substance on the dash)

The hood caps are still there. This enhances my theory of a junkie who got scared away by someone walking his/her dog, thus not having enough time to a) steal the car itself, or b) smash up the car as a punishment for me for not leaving anything valuable in the car for them to steal...

Dad doesn't think I should bother with either police nor insurance company. Neither of them will help me anyway, since nothing was stolen, and the broken lock can be fixed by my dad for less then what I'd have to pay for an official mechanic, so I won't get anything from insurance either.

As for signs - I wonder if it would help if I posted something like "I have no radio, no money, no cellular phone, no ANYTHING worth stealing, so please save: a) yourself the trouble of breaking into my car, and b) me the expense of repairing the car"?

Sorry. You must feel so violated!

This happen often in your neighborhood?

 

[velvetpie]

Sucks when someone violates you!

I used to live in New York City. Each day I would see numerous cars with the sign "No Radio Inside." I don't know if it worked, but it is a sign that the police need to get out of the doughnut shop and into the streets.

Sorry Svenska. *HUGS*

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

Sorry Svenska. I know it's an inconvenience to have to fix what they messed up, but I'm glad it wasn't worse.

Thanks, everyone!

Yeah, unfortunately this negihborhood is one of the worst in town. We have cops up here every day or every other day - I've called them atleast 3 or 4 times myself, when the neighbors fighting got out of hands.

I once took this online quiz called "What's your home like?" or something. I got the result "Rat Hole". They suggested I move out before I get into trouble.
I think what gave me that result was question 10: "What's the worst thing that has every happened in your neighborhood? A) Theft, B) Vandalisation, C) Rape, or D) Murder?", and I answered "all of the above"...

Hey, Svenskaflicka! Long time no see.

Listen to your dad, he speaks wisdom. If insurance companies in Sweden are anything like they are in America, every time you even get in touch with them they'll hold it against you. They're all looking for an excuse to up your premiums if they don't cancel you. Save the insurance for when you're in a wreck and really need it.

Is it compulsory, like it is in the US?

Yes, it is.

Dad just towed the car away on his truck. It should be fixed in a few days, depending on how much he has to do. We're thinking of not fixing the lock, but leave it hanging out, as a signal to thieves that this car has already been broken into, ergo there's nothing to steal in it.

They might steal the car itself, granted, but we've just witnessed that locking the door doesn't really help - in worst case scenario, they'll steal the car, in best case they'll "only" break the car so that it has to be repaired.

Either way, my ass is fucked.

Which is NOT one of my fetishes.
