Default Stupid thieves

Friend had his Vette parked at his girls house. Was supposed to be there for a few minutes, but the visit was a bit longer.
He'd left the drivers window down and the car unlocked because they were going to head out.
Someone broke the passenger window took two CD's off the passenger seat.
I guess they were to lazy to try the door handle or walk around to the other side.
Stupid thieves.

Rule of thumb; don’t leave anything that may have the appearance of value of any type out in the open, that’s viewable in any of your vehicles at any time.

Unless it's your Dog who's hungry for a Stupid Thief


BTW ... don't forget to leave the window down for Fido.

Not only stupid, but the often steal things that are of little or no value.
Someone stole a tire valve stem cap off my car the other day.
Unnnn-believable.

If you have locking valve stem caps, that would probably just make them mad and they would rip the valve stem out.

The vette is missing two of my stem caps, and I bet they went in some dumb kid's bicycle. They aren't even five dollars at wally-world .
