Someone stole my goddamned car battery again.

For those keeping track, that's 2 broken windows and 2 stolen car batteries in the past 5 months.

I am sooooo ANGRY right now.

That sucks.
Where do you live?

Yeah North East can get rough but I still say that it is a good property investment because of the location someday the rich people are going to take your neighborhood over and people will clean up.

Out of curiousity how do they steal your battrry? Do they break your windown and then pop your hood or is there another way to do it? You mentioned 2 broken windows and 2 batteries but I wasn't sure if they occurred together or not.

Sorry about the battery though...it's a hell of a day to be dealing with intalling another one.

I'm just on the southside of downtown Minneapolis. (Phillips neighborhood for those who know...)

There are worse neighborhoods in MPLS but it is full of crackheads and vandals...



What a nice way to start a Monday....

Oops...for some reason I thought you were on the other side.

Well, to try and avoid future broken windows, I follow the police suggestion and keep my car unlocked and clubbed. So, I can't win. I'll either have broken windows or an easy access car...

My old car used to have broken locks and there were constantly people going through it but I never kept anything in it so they didn't get much. I can't tell you how many times I came out to a car with an open door or whatever but nobody ever stole parts. I suppose things like alternators and battaries would be easy prey.

motherfuck!!!!

you need to get some kind of skunk-pee spraying anti-theft mechanism or something, the shit is out of hand.

i'm very sorry!

endorphin74 said:

S'OK my neighborhood is full of c*nts too

Find out whodoneit and whoop em , poopie through the letter box etc

AGAIN?

dang...i was figuring somebody had broken into your car again, but not to get your car battery again!

I'm busy thinking about ways to booby-trap my car....

are you in a position to move?

endorphin74 said:

if only there were a way to booby-trap your car battery with one of those spring-loaded boxing gloves that would knock the battery thief the fuck out.

your car crackhead thief

I'm a huge fan of trying to find a way to wire one helluva charge to the car using an electric fence voltage device

Not really. We own our house and I love the house. I just wish the biaaatches in my hood would leave my car alone.

Oh kittie, that SUX!!!

Did you file a claim? Was there any music theft?

It's strange that someone would have the balls to do that, thinking that no one would hear or see it. This could be a really stupid question, but could you somehow rig the hood so that it locks? Do you think your insurance will cover it? The only upside I can see is that you'll have a fresh battery for Winter if they do.

ps,



that you knew this thread had to be about my car...

endorphin74 said:

i swear, that was automatically what popped into my head before i clicked on the link: "somebody must've broken into his car again...damn!!!"

endorphin74 said:

I did too! Im so sorry!

I will report the theft to the police. The last battery cost about $60 to replace (thank goodness I know handy straight boys, lol) so if it IS covered by insurance, it would still be under the deductible.

I've thought about trying to rig a lock on the hood or battery, but I'm afraid that would just cause someone to actually break things if they break in.

The battery that was stolen today was just a few months old....there was no music theft as I only have the factory issued AM/FM radio in the car. So far no hood rats have wanted that

what i wanna know is why the hell folks keep going after your car, kitty (i'm prolly right in guessing that other folks on your block have had their cars broken into, too)...it's just weird, is it something like the folks who've broken into your car tell other crackheads in the area that it's a prime target or somethin?

Sorry to make a joke, but I'm sure Shawna's like "Dude...fuckin'...this is why I ride a bike!"

GangstaFam said:

omg, i can totally hear her saying something like that, too!

endorphin74 said:

That's hot.

ps, I'm all about the jokes now, bring 'em on!

endorphin74 said:

How'd you get to work today?

Damn dude. Maybe u should consider moving.

GangstaFam said:

a co-worker picked me up. Since I live 1.5 miles from work, that's pretty easy to arrange. Thankfully I don't have any home visits scheduled in the next few days, so I don't NEED my car...
