Yeah, after my dads car had its window broken, we put an alarm on it, and keep mine inside the garage. This was not the only time something has happened, just a fwe weeks ago, someone backed up into my dads car or something did, and broke the taillight, and the plastic casing for the licence plate.

So from then on, I purchased a 5megapixel security camera. Works nicely, but needs tuning/a better lens.

Maybe these punks think the Yaris was easiest to break into and know that it doesn't usually have an alarm? The Yaris isn't a high theft vehicle so I think it's in hopes of finding a hidden valuable like a portable nav unit or iPod. That's my guess.

STOP stereo typing !!! They might have been unemployed bank executives, frustrated mortgage brokers, Doctor's, lawyers, great grandmother's..... we really don't know do we!!!!

How's he stereotyping? 'Punks' does'nt refer to any racial group!

Hey there, Mike...

Yes, a car alarm...less tint on my windows...there are a few things I can do...hopefully.

The funny thing is, until Sean moved out, my car was never broken into.

Coincidence, I'm sure...but still fishy.

Stereotyping has nothing to do with race but can be done by race......

Hey Bob, this post is a joke right?

"Punks" is just a general term to describe law-breaking idiots in this case. Although it may have various other interpretations as well. Hell, it's also a type of music.

Unless you're a punk, hence why you're offended?

Can you explain?

What do you mean "by race"?

There go my wheels this year.

When you do, remember good wheel locks (I like Gorilla locks) or the drop-out punks will relieve you of the nice new rims.

Sorry to hear about your car

Sorry it took a slight turn but I was just defending myself against an odd comment from Bob. My post was trying to be helpful (below) but I didn't realize "punks" was such a bad word and I was attacked. Let's just call the gentleman who broke into your car a "citizen specializing in automotive vandalism".

Again, sorry about your car.

Punk is a subculture. You were not attacked get over it.

Giobatera · 04-14-2009, 08:48 AM

Why don't you guys just open another thread to discuss that without taking away the REAL meaning of this thread?????

SIPNGAS · 04-14-2009, 04:20 PM

Well, I received some good news when I called my insurance company today...

my comprehensive deductible was already at zero but while I had them on the phone, I had my collision deductible changed from 500 to 50 and it raised my rates only about 10 dollars per month. I'll change that back soon, but for right now, it's the better option for me.

So, by next week I should be getting my little car all fixed up...again. :D
