Oddly enough I got a chuckle out of this thread, not because people have had stuff stolen but because of the last time time someone broke into my car. Came home from work after a fairly long shift (about 20 hours) and didn't empty out my car like I normally did. During the DAY some punk broke into my car an stole a very cheap set of boxed 6x9 speakers. What he/she didn't steal that was on the front seat BESIDE the door he/she broke into was my car unlock kit (well over $400 of tools that can unlock ANY car without making noise), small toolbox full of MAC and SnapOn tools (probably over $1500 easy) and a CD folder containing an varied assortment of CD's of at least 40 to 45 cd's and small satchel containing miscellaneous towing straps and tools (havn't a clue what they would have been worth but well over a couple hundred dollars to replace). Also a some minor junk and flotsam that any work vehicle manages to acquire and be forgotten about till it's needed or tripped over. Imagaine my surprise waking up and going out to my car to drive to the holding compound only to find my car door open with a window smashed in and only being able to figure out the thief stole a maybe $80 set of speakers with boxes an NOT stealing tools he/she would have had to crawl over worth more then the dam car. Incredible. I believe I stood there for at least 10 minutes before my room mate came out and asked me whats wrong, all I could do was point and say "tell me whats wrong with this picture?". Took him about 30 seconds to figure out the stupid thief DIDN'T take the one thing that would have made his/her criminal life so much easier, my lockout kit was still on the front seat.
Some are probably wondering just how fast a lockout kit can open a car, well depends on the car really but when I still used it everyday it was the very rare car I spent more then 2 minutes on ,including the time it took to open the kit up an chose the right tool . Oddly enough the "high" end cars were usually the easiest to open (excluding BMW).
