Title: somebody broke into my fuckin car
Post by: drohne on December 15, 2008, 08:06:22 AM
and stole my gps monitor thing

and then my dumb ass drove 20 miles home with a semishattered passenger side window in heavy rain at 4:30 in the morning. that was unpleasant

on the bright side the homeless degenerate who smashed my window apparently didn't want my cd wallets or boswell's life of johnson

That sucks.

I think that's the only thing stopping me from getting a GPS. I live in an apartment, so I'd have to take it inside every night, and that's just not something I can see myself doing.

**edit- Um isn't there a way for the GPS companies to find your GPS, if it's registered? Or do anything? Seems like that would be easy. If not, call pawn shops. If they have it, they should have the ID of whoever sold it to them.

probably a wii owner
now why would a Wii owner want anything that's high-tech?

Sorry to hear about that man.  :'(  I always put the GPS itself in the glove box and take the holding device off the windshield so people don't know.  :tophat

Sucks.

You gotta hide those things. They are the new stereo in terms of rip off ability.

Yeah, this happened to one of my friends, but in his case they cut the roof off his convertible to take the gps device.  This was in his apartments garage at the time.

I had this poo-colored Jetta during high school that was broken into three times with nothing ever being stolen.  The closest it came to that was the trunk lock was once busted in (making the trunk un-openable for the thief) and the area around my shitty rear speakers was all torn up, but they were bolted down and not going anywhere.

I figure its theft appeal is the poop color.

Didn't think GG would stoop this low after being lepered. There's no telling with some people.

On a serious note, you should always remove those, even that little thingie you click them into.

Hmm, I always remove the GPS and take it with me if I'm away from the car for a long time. Put in the glove compartment if it's just a quick in and out. Never bothered to remove the holding thingy from the window...

Drohne :(

how much did the gps cost
Title: Re: somebody broke into my fuckin car
Post by: drohne on December 15, 2008, 02:41:46 PM
the gps was installed, and yes, i think i have now realized that it might tempt someone to break into my car, thx. it was actually just the monitor rather than the gps, so i don't think it would cost too much to replace, but yeah, if i replace it, i'm going to replace it with something i can hide

what's kinda bizarre: exact same thing happened to my brother last week. smashed passenger side window, stolen gps.

in switzerland? maybe we're dealing with an international ring of window smashing hobos

That is the most innocent-looking red-light district I have ever fucking seen.
