Re: Make Sure you lock your cars

I always lock my doors and the one night i didnt someone went in my car, they didnt take anything but they ripped my center console right off and my glove box was open and everything was thrown all over. I specifically remember that night getting out of my car, forgetting to lock the doors and saying to myself "oh it will be ok, no big deal if i dont lock them". go figure

Re: Make Sure you lock your cars

My car was broken into a few years ago. I usually bring the gps in but I had left it in there and dh had his iPod in there as well. I've been locking my door ever since.

The cop told me they like to target "safe" areas (since people will be more apt to keep there doors unlocked) with driveways close together so they can cover more ground. They usually look for small items so they can make an easy getaway.

Re: Make Sure you lock your cars

I leave my stroller in the car because it's easier than me lugging it in and out everyday, but I guess it was too big for them to carry LOL

The only other semi valuable thing I have in there is my police detector, and they left that so I guess they wanted GPS, IPod or money.

I also have a motion detector, so either it didn't go on which is hard to believe since the wind makes it go on, or they just didn't care.

I will have to check if I can set the alarm whether my car is locked or unlocked, the funny thing is that I ALWAYS lock the doors, and this one time I didn't it happened, unless they had tried before and just got lucky with it being unlocked this time.

Re: Make Sure you lock your cars

DH's car was broken into today at the train station. He was a 1995 Camry... The car is practically multi colored and is missing handles. They smashed his window. The same window they smashed 6 months ago when they broke in. Last time they stole his GPS and ipad holder. Today they stole the entire radio but were nice enough to leave the CD that was inside. They shut off his alarm. It will cost us the 500 deductible. I just don't understand people

This is not meant to knock anyone who has been robbed at all but I don't understand, why would you leave valuables in your car instead of bringing them with you (into your office or home)?
