Well, this has been a long week for me. The tranny in my car was slipping, and my th400 wasnt going to be done for a few more weeks. Well my tranny got so bad it wouldnt go into reverse or overdrive... Well wed night i put another 200 in that a friend of mine was going to lend to me. I get the tranny in, and my car runs great.
Skip to the next morning....
Walk out to go to work, think to my self... there no way in hell I left my window down. Get a little closer, and see all the broken glass.
My heart just dropped. I went over the check out the damage. At first glimpse I saw my stereo was gone, along with a few things in the car, (ipod, some money...) Then noticed that the thief didnt even take any of my tool. I had a samll tool box with snap on, and matco tools. I only had it in there because I had worked on my car the previous night.
Then I really started looking around. I barley escaped from the theif getting my whole car. He did the usual number, broken drivers window, broke the steering column, jammed the wheel lock, cut my steering wheel to get the club off(useless piece of crap), and would have had the car had he found the cleverly hidden kill switch.
On top of that, the thief keyed my whole car. I dont understand... if you see a nice car that you want to steal... why mess it up????
Oh well, insurance is covering all the damage, I have a free rental car. And im coming out of this with a fresh paint job.
Needless to say, lesson learned. That was the first night in a LONG time that I left anything in my car... i.e. my stereo, ipod, tools.....
Now its time to pony up and get a real alarm.... oh well.... You can never be too careful.
