Default So some crooked fvcks broke into my car last night

Attempted to steal the car itself, but luck was smiling upon me.

For the first and only time, I had pulled my newish ECU out to check it out for ECMS and hadn't bother to reinstall it after I finished. I figured the morning was soon enough and went to bed.

Well, today I come out and see my driver's window is gone, the steering column cover is missing, and some items are missing too. Among them:

-My digital camera (why there are no pictures)
-VAG-COM cable
-XM Radio
-$4

Now that might not seem like too much, but my camera above all else pisses me off and makes me want to hunt them down and kill them.

However, they were thwarted by my own laziness, so I guess I won in the end. What luck though the one night they try to steal it, my ECU is with me.

Default Sorry about that - but yes you were lucky

Insurance should cover the camera - homeowner/apartment too.

Default Sorry Nate, that's a downer, but I bet you will be able to get it all covered by your insurance.

I hate when ****e like this happens, makes me livid. People have no respect for anyone or anything anymore.

Default mod your door locks

and then put a rear door handle up front to indicate you know the game and this wont be the routine theft.
