I keep repeating myself about the iPod because I've done it, left it in my car overnight by accident, or just for 5 minutes while I unload the groceries... 5 minutes is enough time to rob 3 cars!! *sigh*

thanks for the good words, guys

I'm OK, no worries :D I just want to make sure you guys know it happens *everywhere* so you be extra careful with your stuff

(I still f'n hate the pr..cks and wouldn't mind if someone would shove a stick of dynamite up their @sses )

Sorry to hear that. At least you took your stuff out before it happened

@ goliath, I'm with you. I hear car alarms constantly and usually sleep through them.

Another thing I was wondering is what do I do if I hear my own alarm go off? My first reflex is probably to go out and see, but what if you go out and there is a crime in progress... out here the punks are probably all packing... Not sure I want to get shot to save my car either. Pfewww

Maybe go out with my camera and try to take a picture?

Sorry to hear that tomato.

I'm surprised they knew about that container. If you haven't seen it after owning your Yaris for a while, makes me wonder how some random burglar found out.

I know.

That's why I brought it up, so peeps know it does happen.

I think they were professionals and really knew what they were doing. To be able to get into a gated community without being heard, etc... I think they were pros.

Be careful

Sorry to hear about that, mater. This really sucks.
At least the car is relatively unharmed and you were nowhere near that place when it happened. It should be simple/cheap enough to fix those scratches too.

I did not know this, but it does make sense.

uh oh, that's the 'super-secret' compartment i use to store my valuables when i leave my car and can't take them with me sounds like they knew what they were doing by sliding back the seats and looking under the floormats(i know people who hide stuff under there).

i think the compartment behind the steering wheel is pretty sneaky too, but i feel it's in too plain of sight when i'm putting stuff in there after parking so i just use it as extra storage.

Um - I never leave anything of value in my Yaris overnight - and it's always parked in front of my house - only exception is a photocopy of my registration / insurance (which has my signature and address whited-out) - even my garage door clickers for home/work - gum - CDs - I remove - I bought a Safeway re-usable shopping box - with handles on the side - and I use that to take things out and to the car - yeah it's a pain - but I commute and in 1 day of driving I can accumulate LOTS - like cc receipts / bill stubs / loose change

60's .... let's see.

2010 - 1960 = a lot of years happened

but you know, the 60's weren't as peaceful as people think. There was a dark side, too, a fair amount of violence and not so peace-loving stuff. There is a really good documentary about that on PBS just about once a year.

Good advice. Yeah, it's a pain, but it's more of a pain to replace everything.

i want a time traveling trunk monkey... buy him today, and he goes back to my car being broken into... and before you say anything, i know that would be a massive paradox... if he had been there, i would have no reason to get him...

Sorry to hear your car was broken into Tomato :(

My Tracker was broken into about two months ago and all they got was 63 pennies
