Thanks everyone!

We did get a new battery in, no problem. My friend said they were considerate thieves...didn't break anything, left 2 of 3 bolts we needed to reconnect it all. lol

I knew of someone whose battery was stolen from his car as well.

That sucks big time! It makes you want to move the hell OUT of your neigborhood, don't it?

Then you wonder why Guidos in Howard Beach patrol their streets with baseball bats at night... disbelief

This is what you guys need to do. Get a cap gun and fire it off when they go near your car. Someone is going to have to stay up and watch. That happening a couple of times will keep them from coming into your neighborhood. Or set up a camera and record what is going on around your car. Leave a note taped to the gages saying "You are being filmed!" with a happy face on it! You guys are not doing anything so they keep coming back to the same spot. They maybe trying to fix up their car taking stuff from yours! smile The taping thing might be best!

i love how he's wearing that cross around his neck too neutral

endo i would check on if you can buy something to put over the battery and lock it down shrug
definately a locking gas cap would be in order

someone tried to break into my car last summer so i haven't been keeping much in there
but wouldn't you know it - i left the doors unlocked this summer and someone went through the glove compartment and seats.

they got a tire guage
my shopping cart dollar coin that i kept in the ashtray
and a can of air freshener rolleyes

For those who don't know, my BF and I own a house in S. Mpls, just about a mile out of downtown. It is not the worst neighborhood, but it has its moments.

In the years we've lived here, we've gotten very accustomed to the whole "replacing the car window" party as we typically lose between 3-6 windows per summer to vandals. I have a craptastic old Saturn now, with the factory issued AM/FM radio so that's worth nothing, and I keep nothing in my car.

2 weeks ago, I lost another window- my 2nd this summer. It again was the little 'vent' window on the back driver's side. So, I hadn't replaced it yet, as I just have it taped over. I've been following the police suggestion to avoid break-ins by keeping my car "clubbed", unlocked and leaving the glove compartment open to show that the car is EMPTY.

Today I got out to drive to the lake. I turn my key, nothing happens. I try it a few times and still nothing. I checked to make sure I didn't leave the lights on and kill my battery, nope.

So, I pop my hood to look at the car. This always makes me laugh a bit as I know crap about cars, and popping the hood is always a waste of time for me. But not today. As I'm looking, I notice something missing. So, I went and got my BF to look at it, just to insure I wasn't crazy. Sure enough, I wasn't being crazy.

SOME FUCK HEAD STOLE MY BATTERY!!!!!

pissed



Actually, it's not funny. I've had my car stolen, so I feel ya. You work hard, try to have nice things, and these animals always f--- your sh!t up. Save your money and move to a nicer area.
