Default Thief!!

This is for the a$$hat who smashed my window and stole my GPS and PC, in case you’re perusing my web history. Sure, I’m the numb-nuts that thinks locking the doors in a secured parking lot keeps the thieves out. Guess mom was right, I am too trusting.

What’s funny is that you’re stupid enough to use the same vehicle for more than 15 thefts in the general area according to the cops. What’s even funnier is that you and your ****-for-brains scout on the street made your video debuts on my customer’s security system. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts.

Oh yeah, if you’re smart enough to use my GPS to find my home address, come on over. Even my 9 yr old can put a .45 through a Frisbee at 50 yards. Just don’t come this weekend, nobody’s home.

UGH! I hate people that steal, ESPECIALLY if it even has a little value. It really pisses me off. I'm sorry to hear about this. He (or She) will get it one day. Good thing you have insurance though, and hopefully they cover your losses.

I would also file a complaint with the city. 15 thefts in the same area is just garbage.

First...... I am sorry someone violated you that way.
Second...not the smartest thing telling "them" that you are not home.
Third..... I would hope that no one in this forum would ever do anything like that, you might want to hang a notice in the lot where this happened.....without telling them you might not be home.

No one likes a thief. It's invasive and someone has taken what you've worked hard to achieve. I've been a victim of car theft and burglary from auto.
That said and I understand your anger, it's not wise to openly brag about what you might to do a thief...premeditation is hard to take back. You've also just given reason for a thief to come to your home...firearms. They're more valuable than currency.
Do you believe the thief is on this board or is this just an open rant? Do you have serial numbers or photos of the property in the event (however slight) that it's recovered? Your insurance deductible is probably higher than it's worth to report for a claim.

UGH! I hate people that steal, ESPECIALLY if it even has a little value. It really pisses me off. I'm sorry to hear about this. He (or She) will get it one day. Good thing you have insurance though, and hopefully they cover your losses.

I would also file a complaint with the city. 15 thefts in the same area is just garbage.

The original poster indicated that the PD was notified. Unfortunately, in this day and age, theft usually takes a lower priority to more serious crime.

Spent a few years as a LEO,,,,and guess who are the ones that throw the biggest fit when THEY get ripped off!!!I grew up in a time when you didn't have to worry much about that stuff,,and you could walk home at night by yourself and not worry about it,, didn't even always lick your doors----Don't do that now!!!
I don't understand your comment...are you inferring that the original poster is law enforcement and therefore throwing "the biggest fit"?. Are you inferring that the PD should have been doing more because of the 15 prior incidents in the "same general area"? While I don't disagree with the philosophy, you as a previous LEO should know that's not always possible.
Times have obviously changed from when we could leave our keys in the ignition, trust our neighbors/kids, leave our homes unlocked and windows open. Oh, you can still do that, but you will probably regret it.
IMO, most either have been a victim or will be a victim at some point. You can take precautions and maybe reduce the opportunity to be a victim. But, crimes of opportunity (the majority %) cannot be reduced w/o personal responsibility playing into the equation. And I'm not suggesting that the original poster did anything wrong, just stating a fact of life.
There is something to be said about countries with laws that allow for the removal of hands of thieves...

Sorry to hear that bro. I was robbed in Mexico some time ago, and it does suck chicken butt big time. I had a coworker that had his apartment broken in to, and they took his lap-top, PDA, TV, and other things. I felt bad for them, but there wasn't much to be done on my side of the story.

Too bad it wasn't at your house, or the parking lot was your property. If it had no trespassing signs and you were out, you could of shot him right on spot. Might be going a little far though but eh...
