Sorry it happened Gene.
I know the feeling, and it sucks.
Like some one reached in
and grabbed your guts....

Yeah, it isn't the stuff as much, it is that violation of your space. And the thought it could be a neighbor, or child of a neighbor.

Surveillance cameras. A worthwhile purchase because they most likely will return.

Sorry you had to start your day out like that.

Thanks guys, the Cops just left, filled out a report, i dont expect anything to come of it. The Cop did say that it happens ALL THE TIME in our neighborhood, and we live in a great area. The gang goes down the street, checking for unlocked car doors  , usually about 3am. Thanks again Guys, Gene

Bummer Gene. Not a great way to start your day at all.
Better than surveillance cameras, get your sparky to wire up the cars for overnights. They'll only come once more.
Good Luck
Dave

That's a bad deal Gene, but on the bright side, at least they didn't kick in the front door of your home and do worse than they did.

That sucks. I've experienced it before myself.
Too bad you can't use your Gmod powers and ban them from the planet.

That blows Gene. I'm glad me and just about everyone else in Maine has guns. They don't want to be messing around in our cars unless they want to take a chance with a trip to the hospital or morgue.
Do you have a dog? Or afriend with a pitbull?

Sorry to hear about that Gene.  We had someone try to kick our front door down this summer, one of the worst feelings ever. I still jump out of bed at the slightest sound. But it's getting better.

Funny how the law knows just what is going on and when........but doesn't seem to do a freeking thing about it but write reports. 
I lived in an apartment, some guys busted the sliding glass door out, while I was home, the cop says well they must have thought this was the apartment a few buildings down where the guy sells drugs......  ??
Sorry to hear they stole your stuff G.

That sucks Gene! I'd love to catch people like that and just pound the crap out of them I had almost the same thing happen to my truck a couple years ago, only they were in the back. Luckily I had so much garbage piled on top of the tools from that days job they only got a few things.

That sucks! As my dad says "could be worse - not my family - not my house!" They live on the south side of Chicago only happens once a week.
As a side note (and on the lighter side) - who is this guy Kent? Using Framermans avatar - has the same number of posts - that's just wrong 
Kent please complete an intro!
