Be careful, 40% of the time, they will repeat. Often if they see other items that they want and could not get the first time. Don't ask me how I know.

Doesn't sound random. They knew what they were looking for. Now they know your inventory they will be back to shop for more. Get Smith and Wesson to help you and if they are busy maybe Glock can scan the garage for you. In any event good luck with the perps. Watch that baby!

Boy and i thought some guy who lives in my nice neighborhood who steals my paper every week was bad your problem was a millon times worse then mine.Someone knew you had those tires in your garage and your wheels like the other forum member said this could be someone you know who has a friend who needed what you had.What a rat to do something like this i hope they catch the guys and hang them by their thumbs.

Good luck

Like others have said, now that they know what you have, they might return for more. Would it be feasible to set up a security camera?

Thanks guys for all the comments... I was actually driving the car so my baby wasn't in the garage at the time thank god

Honestly don't know how they got in, garage is always locked. I doubt the police are goin to be able to catch the bast@rds who did this but I guess they will get whats coming to them one day. They always say what goes around comes around but i dont understand why this happened to me b/c I never stole a thing in my life what gives??

You probably don't really want to surprise the thieves in action.Every day some innocent homeowner is killed walking in on some sort of crime. Todays criminal cares more about getting your stuff to sell for crack than your life. Just thinking out loud-Chuck.

Check ebay and local pawn shops. Go into the Pawn Shop trying to buy some ,not looking for stolen ones. Had to be punks or someone you know in possibly a remote way and they are not pro's or they would have taken everything of value.Sounds like a "steal order". Where someone says I want this and will pay X amount. Also check your local electronic classified. We have internet site in this area that does ALL Classified! Chance does exist they will make a mistake and if they do, then you can recover.

Best of Luck in getting them back. The smaller your town,the better your chances are.
