Thieves the worst kind of people... how have you been screwed? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

bondagegirl · 06-28-2003, 07:54 PM

Well I'm starting this thread just to see how many of you guys have been screwed over by thieves. Let me hear your story, (maybe it'll make me feel better...hehe)

I recently had my car stolen (Last Sunday) and was so fucking pissed! So I thought sense TFP is the best place to vent, well I thought I would.

So yeah The car they stole was an 1990 Acura Integra, it was such a piece O' crap that I just don't understand what the hell they were thinking. The cops found it about three days later, It had no radio in it,(it had already been stolen a couple years ago), they took my back speakers and my rear view mirror, my Enki rims and tires , and all paperwork I had in the car (including a bunch of stuff with my social security # on it and my address), and thats it. I was so surprised that more damage wasn't done. I was pissed though I had to pay about $400 dollars just to get my car back to my house. I had to pay the tow truck place to release it, I had to have it towed to my house and I had to buy some new crappy rims and tires. bull shit I tell you! So be careful when you go to a movie theatre. Either go to one where there are other stores around like a mall, so the assholes don't know how long you're going to be, or lock your car up like fort knox.

AAAAAwwww ok I feel a little better. Thank you TFP.

bondagegirl · 06-28-2003, 08:16 PM

talon for some odd reason that made me laugh, maybe because thats want I wanted to do
juan what do you mean by power supply? like to you house? or what?

juanvaldes · 06-28-2003, 08:22 PM

To my computer. Not only do I doubt the thief will even know what it is or what to do with it, but it's wired different from other more commong PS's. Sure causing me problems.

Fly · 06-28-2003, 08:41 PM

me and the family went to my folks for dinner one night.gone maybe an hour and a half,pull in the driveway and all the lights are on.we only leave two on.i walk in the side door and there's shit everywhere,upside down inside out.took it all.t.v.....stereo....blah,blah,blah.the worst part about it is that when the mother fucker's were stealing my tv,they had to look right at a pic of me and mine on top of the set.

that's a nasty feeling

*fuckers*

bermuDa · 06-28-2003, 09:02 PM

a few days ago I swung by the bank with my friend. When I came back to the car some big black guy had his head in the car talking to my friend. My first impression was this would be trouble but I didn't trust my instinct and went to see what's up.

The guy said his name was James and my friend told me he had a cannabis card, and would sell us a zip of purple cush for $125 (less than half what it normally costs). He produced a nug of some very nice looking bud. He said he was waiting for his wife to get off work at the bar across the street from the bank, and that he'd call in half an hour. He was friendly and told us we were welcome to come into the bar when his wife was at work for a drink on the house.

Half an hour later we're at another friend's house, and James calls... When he was 'talking to his friend' it felt like he was still talking into the phone so I'd hear... but again I ignored my instincts. He says he's got 4 zips (ounces) available. Our friend is down, so we get our money together and head out. We meet him on broadway a block from where he says his friend lives, and he says he wants to smoke a blunt to make sure we're cool (ie not cops).

We drove around and rolld one up, and it was definitely good weed (tasted like blueberries). He goes on about how he just moved here from Oakland and his friend 'Scott' gets the bud from the club for about 110 an ounce, but has to buy so much at once and can't possess that much, so he lets go of it for a good price. As we're pulling close to the house, he starts talking about how his friend has a wife (who doesn't know about his selling) and kids, and doesn't want any trouble for them, so he's very careful; talking about people coming around shooting up "our" kids. At that point I got very suspicious, but was past the point of just kicking this black guy out of my car.

He insisted we pull into the inclined driveway at this house on the corner where he said his friend lived, which had all the windows barred and covered with opaque screens. He got out of the car and said he'd go get the bud... and my friend did the stupidest thing in the history of the dope game: he handed him the money... without even seeing the weed! I watched the guy walk and turn the corner. A few minutes later my brilliant friend has an epiphany and says "I think that nigger just robbed us!" (it's ok he's black) He went to the door and knocked, obviously with no answer. I remembered watching him walk, and I would've seen if he walked up to the door. I laughed and pulled the car out of the driveway, thinking to myself it's probably better he just handed him the money, the asshole probably would've come back and held us up at gunpoint.

This has given me a chance to reflect upon myself and where I place my trust. I've decided to give up smoking, leave the crime to the criminals. I don't have to do anything in retaliation; karma will sort this guy out.

I must admit it was a well planned scam and if I ever run into this guy again I'll have to thank him for giving me an important life lesson: never trust a stranger, especially if they claim to be from Oakland.

On a lighter note, it was the most expensive blunt I've ever smoked!

My truck, which had a $5,000 system in it, was broken into and all my shit stolen. My insurance covered it. I waited about 6 months and replaced it all. 6 months later the truck was stolen. It was stripped out. System was gone. Rims gone. Beat to hell and trashed. It was totaled. About a year later some dickless pussy broke into my apartment and stole CD's and a few other dumb things. It was obviously a dumbass high kid because if the asshole woulda looked around they would've seen my checkbook, all my credit cards and $500 cash laying on my table. Luckily, I was robbed by a retard who didn't know what they were doing. I wish I coulda walked in on that dick in my place. I'd bet my life on the fact that I would've killed that jerk.

That post by bermuDa has so many things wrong with it, but since I'm not a flamer I'll let someone else handle it.

SweetVroom · 06-28-2003, 10:03 PM

About a couple months ago the antenna for our car was stolen, just twists off the little bugger, looked weird without it on, but good thing. Since then i've gotten a new one because my old one was scratched.

bermuDa · 06-28-2003, 10:22 PM

well it seemed like a good deal at the time; the guy had a good story and did have the chronic. We weren't planning on getting that much but my friend said he was down for the whole lot. If we weren't so stoned we probably would've seen the holes in his story; which has contributed to my decision to stop smoking bud.

thanks for just pointing out there was so much wrong with my post, I'm sure no one else would've noticed.

juanvaldes · 06-29-2003, 12:38 AM

you broke every rule in the game bermuDa, laugh it off and be glad you still have your lives.

bermuDa · 06-29-2003, 12:48 AM

that I am... that I am. stupid mistakes have been made, and the lesson won't be soon forgotten.

what really bothers me is the threat he veiled in friendly banter. I'll get over the monetary loss, but talking about shooting up 'our' families really shook me up. Makes me feel kinda helpless, and I hate that feeling.

almostaugust · 06-29-2003, 01:16 AM

Yep thieves and bullshitters. A dude recently wroughted me big time. He changed the credits on a film that he worked on conjointly with myself and others to give himself all the credit- Director and Producer. He then entered it into a national festival, which it won. He made of with over 3000 dollars in prizes. When i found out about this, i almost began to bleed out of my eyeballs. Since then we have got our own back.

HamiC · 06-29-2003, 04:43 AM

A thief steal my bicycle. Not unusual, but....

....it was locked up
....in front of the Student Union
....at a small college in rural Maine
....in the middle of the day
....during a forced evacuation in the middle of a Hurricane

Now, who the hell is looking steal expensive bicycles in that kind of setting?

rogue49 · 06-29-2003, 05:44 AM

I've had my wallet stolen out of my car, overnight, at my place.
Yeah, I know I shouldn't have had it out there in the first place,
but I was young & lazy. The spooky thing is that they did it
out in the middle of nowhere while my family was sleeping.

And I've had a bike stolen while it was locked up on campus.
That was partly my fault, I left it overnight to go to a party instead.

*Nikki* · 06-29-2003, 06:22 AM

Someone stole the little chrome valve caps off of my old car. I just went to put air in my tires and they were gone. I guess someone was pretty hard up for $10.00 valve caps.

Other then that nothing has been stolen from me. I think people pretty much know I will kick their ass if they were to try shit like that.

MSD · 06-29-2003, 06:33 AM

My wallet, in my jeans pocket, in my backpack, in full view of an entire gym class in high school. You think someone would question someone walking in and taking 70 bucks out of a backpack.

I came back to my car after classes this past year, and some idiot was leaning into my car, poking around in the back seat looking for stuff. I guess he figured out that the radio is worthless, it was untocuched. I gave him a nice whack in the side of the knee with the heavy half of my pol cue, and he hobbled away. By the way, this happened in a garage that houses a police station on the third floor, I was parked on the second. I haven't forgotten to lock my doors since then.

Psivage · 06-29-2003, 08:17 AM

Couple of years ago my car was broken into they smash the window, the cops think with a sparplug, they grab my portable CD player with a CD in it. My car wasn't the only one that got broken into that night there was about 2 or 3 more cars. What really fucking pissed me off was my neighbor in the other apartment buliding saw the whole thing. He even "talked" to them. The rat ass bastard didn't called the cops up. It was about 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. The cops would of pulled over or take notice of anybody walking or driving in the vincity. I live in a small town so there wouldn't be that many people out. The bastard still says hi to me whenever he see me. I ignore him. I want to mess up his car, but I probaly would be caught.

Derwood · 06-29-2003, 08:25 AM

had 2 locked bikes stolen out of the storage room of my old apartment building.

Also had someone steal stuff out of my apartment one morning while I and my roomate were sleeping. Roomie didn't lock the back door. Only stole a jacket, cell phone and some quarters....but still scary

Ganguro · 06-29-2003, 09:29 AM

about a year or 2 ago my family's home was broken into while we visited relatives for thanksgiving. They stole some guns my dad had from the navy (he doesnt believe in using guns, so no big loss..plus they didnt work), and a radio i had. It was a nice portable 3disc changer radio too.. *shrugs* oh well.. Here's the funny part. I have a few grand worth of mint comics in box in my old bedroom, that the radio was sitting on. I also have 2 computers in that room, and had about 200 bucks cash in a jewlerybox about 3 feet away. Stupid thieves.

Here is another funny story of mine about thieves..

Last year my mom and dad were asleep and my mom wakes up because she hears a noise outside. She wakes my dad up and says "Bill..did you lock the garage?" My dad who comes in late at night goes something like "ggnnhhf.. yeah" and rolls over to go back to sleep, but she keeps buggin him to get up and go see what it is. My dad gets a robe on goes out to the garage to sees someone poking around in there trying to steal his work equipment (drills, air compressor, etc..). He says "Hey get out of my garage!" and chases them ..but the theif is on a bike and is peddling down the aalley behind my house. My dad chased him a half a block and tackled him off the bike and took his coat and hat. When they guy saw that my dad was pissed he just ran like hell. My dad then took the guys bike, and back at my house attached his coat and bicylce to a laundry post with a chain and padlock. The next week my dad sat in my old bedroom staking out the bicycle waiting for the guy to come back to get his stuff. I think he was going to hit him in the head with a hammer or something.. Eventually my mom washed the coat and gave it to goodwill, but my dad still keeps the bike in the garage as his trophy

rockzilla · 06-29-2003, 11:43 AM

Had a bike stolen from me every summer from when I was 7 til I was 14, half of the time it was from my backyard. Even more annoying was 3 years ago when some smartass stole the quick release peg on my front wheel and I had to carry my bike home in two pieces from downtown.
My winter jacket with my wallet was stolen in Junior high, I had to wait at the office for 3 hours for my parents to pick me up.
Most recently, I was stiffed for nearly $1500 in rent and bills by my old roommates and had the bulk of my valuables stolen at the same time (including half my clothes). I'm not even sure which roommate robbed me, they were all scumbags, and I'll gladly hospitalize any one of them if I ever see them again.

I thought the same about my 1993 version of that car until last month's break-in attempt.

I was clued in by the radio guy. It seems that the people who like to "enhance" cars like the old Integras 'cause they look sporty and they're easy to "enhance". In other words, the Integra is now a choice car for these people! Bizarre!

Phaenx · 06-29-2003, 02:48 PM

Caught some mexican trying to switch switch his old battery with my brand new one. Chased him off, kept his battery (it was still good =). Wish I could have caught him though, probably best I didn't.

bondagegirl · 06-29-2003, 05:46 PM

Ganguro I love the story about your dad! How kick ass!!!!

hey denim I know that my car is a real targeted car as well as hondas and toyotas but I was saying mine ran like crap (that's probably why they didn't touch the engine), and it was super dirty and wasn't in it's prime anymore with 245,000 miles on it.

Batman976 · 06-29-2003, 07:02 PM

Someone stole my Sopranos: Complete Third Season DVD. I was pretty upset. They stole it right out of my apartment, and even took the disc that was still in the player. I actually am pretty lucky though, because that's all they took. At the time I had over 150 DVDs, and they only took the one set that was still sitting out on my couch. All of my others were in plain sight. So I was pissed off, but relieved at the same time.

My story isn't nearly as bad as some of yours though. I suppose I should consider myself lucky that's been my only loss.

bondagegirl · 06-29-2003, 07:12 PM

I don't know what I would do if someone actually came into my house, I would feel so violated and completely creeped out...

NoSoup · 06-29-2003, 09:11 PM

Well, I guess I could share my stories as well guys,

It all started with my car, a 1988 Chrystler LeBaron Convertible

Well, to begin, My car was first broken into in my High School Parking lot. How? They just hacked a hole in the soft top, and took my CD Player...

Time passes, and I bought a new CD Player...

Now, I walk out from school again, and I notice that my CD Player is again missing in action. I look at my car to see how they got in, thinking that they had just used the hole in the top, but no, they weren't even considerate enough for that. On the other side of my car, there was a fresh, brand new hole for someone to use.

Time passes, and I bought a different CD Player...

Again, I walk out from school, and much to my suprise, (well, not really anymore...) I see that my car has been broken into. This time, the bastards, instead of using 1 of 2 holes already in the top, pry open my door w/ a crowbar. Beautiful....

Well, more time passes, and I get everything fixed, (including the holes) and buy yet another CD Player...

I walk out of my house to get into my car in the morning, and as I look in, I see that papers and broken glass are all over the interior of my car... I promptly call the police, open up my car (broken passenger side window) and look for anything that is missing. Here's the strange part: The only thing that was missing was my CD player's faceplate (useless without the CD Player itself). I had prescription Morphine in my locked glovebox (which was pried open), cigarettes, and my CD's. All of my paperwork had been gone through and scattered throughout the car. Interestingly, As I was cleaning out the vehicle, I noticed that all of the broken glass was on top of the paperwork, there was none underneath. This leads me to believe that whoever broke into my car either picked the lock or opened it in a less intrusive way, but when they didn't find what they were looking for, took the faceplate and smashed the window to make it look like a common burglary. Now, I have no idea what they were looking for, but I would be interested to find out.

The following night, (after getting my window fixed) I got home later at night. There was a car parked on the street next to my house, but I didn't take much notice of it until I saw someone bolt from the side of my house, into the car (someone else had flung open the door) and watched it peel off with the person sticking halfway out of the car. I, of course, slammed my car into gear and chased them. At first, they didn't notice me behind them, but the second they did the driver swerved onto the wrong side of the street and gunned it. I followed close behind, and once I had their license plate & make of car, I let them go due to the fact that we were driving rather wrecklessly. (60mph in the oncoming lane) I called the police, gave them the info, and never heard about it again.

Just thought I would share....

th0r · 06-30-2003, 10:06 AM

I was walking home one night when some punk came up with a knife and took my money and shoes from me. Its the ultimate insult having your shoes taken aswell as your money!

Wow. Mine only has about 113000 on it. Fairly clean, too.

I hadn't known it was a targeted car. Sure wasn't when I got it 5 years ago. (shrug) OTOH, it's got "issues" which aren't readily apparent. It likes to threaten to overheat, but relent just before you panic.

World's King · 06-30-2003, 12:51 PM

It's mainly been car stereos... over and over again...

It's been about $25,000 in stereo stuff and CDs in the past four years.

This is part of the reason I don't own a car anymore and never will.

Fremen · 06-30-2003, 08:35 PM

I feel silly mentioning these now that I read some of yours, but here goes.
I had a weed-eater stolen off my back porch along with a Darth Vader carrying case filled with Star Wars figures from the 80's.
I also had my trombone stolen by an ex-friend. *tha bastid!*

I had someone break open the window of my car and reach in and steal my son's (who was 3 at this point) winter coat. Dallas Cowboy's coat; It was probably traded for crack. How low do you have to be to steal a little kid's winter coat? I had more valuable things ripped off at times but I have never been a disgusted.

clavus · 07-01-2003, 02:12 PM

As I lay on my apartment floor, bleeding and drugged from oral surgery gone wrong, some bastard cut my lock and stole my bike. I was religious about keeping it inside my place, but the ONE day I was too messed up to carry it up stairs, it got ripped off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've had two different cars broken into. Both times the damage to the car was far more costly than the value of the stereo equipmet stolen.

Luckily, I was robbed by a retard who didn't know what they were doing. I wish I coulda walked in on that dick in my place. I'd bet my life on the fact that I would've killed that jerk.

SweetVroom Tilted	About a couple months ago the antenna for our car was stolen, just twists off the little bugger, looked weird without it on, but good thing. Since then i've gotten a new one because my old one was scratched.

bermuDa don't ignore this--> Location: CA	that I am... that I am. stupid mistakes have been made, and the lesson won't be soon forgotten. what really bothers me is the threat he veiled in friendly banter. I'll get over the monetary loss, but talking about shooting up 'our' families really shook me up. Makes me feel kinda helpless, and I hate that feeling. __________________ I am the very model of a moderator gentleman.

almostaugust Junkie Location: Oz	Yep thieves and bullshitters. A dude recently wroughted me big time. He changed the credits on a film that he worked on conjointly with myself and others to give himself all the credit- Director and Producer. He then entered it into a national festival, which it won. He made of with over 3000 dollars in prizes. When i found out about this, i almost began to bleed out of my eyeballs. Since then we have got our own back. __________________ 'And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself To hold on to these moments as they pass'

rogue49 Loser	I've had my wallet stolen out of my car, overnight, at my place. Yeah, I know I shouldn't have had it out there in the first place, but I was young & lazy. The spooky thing is that they did it out in the middle of nowhere while my family was sleeping. And I've had a bike stolen while it was locked up on campus. That was partly my fault, I left it overnight to go to a party instead.

Nikki ~~~~~~~ Location: Charleston, SC	Someone stole the little chrome valve caps off of my old car. I just went to put air in my tires and they were gone. I guess someone was pretty hard up for $10.00 valve caps. Other then that nothing has been stolen from me. I think people pretty much know I will kick their ass if they were to try shit like that.

MSD The sky calls to us ... Super Moderator Location: CT	My wallet, in my jeans pocket, in my backpack, in full view of an entire gym class in high school. You think someone would question someone walking in and taking 70 bucks out of a backpack. I came back to my car after classes this past year, and some idiot was leaning into my car, poking around in the back seat looking for stuff. I guess he figured out that the radio is worthless, it was untocuched. I gave him a nice whack in the side of the knee with the heavy half of my pol cue, and he hobbled away. By the way, this happened in a garage that houses a police station on the third floor, I was parked on the second. I haven't forgotten to lock my doors since then.

Psivage Psycho	Couple of years ago my car was broken into they smash the window, the cops think with a sparplug, they grab my portable CD player with a CD in it. My car wasn't the only one that got broken into that night there was about 2 or 3 more cars. What really fucking pissed me off was my neighbor in the other apartment buliding saw the whole thing. He even "talked" to them. The rat ass bastard didn't called the cops up. It was about 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. The cops would of pulled over or take notice of anybody walking or driving in the vincity. I live in a small town so there wouldn't be that many people out. The bastard still says hi to me whenever he see me. I ignore him. I want to mess up his car, but I probaly would be caught. Last edited by Psivage; 06-29-2003 at 08:21 AM..

Ganguro Army of Me	about a year or 2 ago my family's home was broken into while we visited relatives for thanksgiving. They stole some guns my dad had from the navy (he doesnt believe in using guns, so no big loss..plus they didnt work), and a radio i had. It was a nice portable 3disc changer radio too.. shrugs oh well.. Here's the funny part. I have a few grand worth of mint comics in box in my old bedroom, that the radio was sitting on. I also have 2 computers in that room, and had about 200 bucks cash in a jewlerybox about 3 feet away. Stupid thieves. Here is another funny story of mine about thieves.. Last year my mom and dad were asleep and my mom wakes up because she hears a noise outside. She wakes my dad up and says "Bill..did you lock the garage?" My dad who comes in late at night goes something like "ggnnhhf.. yeah" and rolls over to go back to sleep, but she keeps buggin him to get up and go see what it is. My dad gets a robe on goes out to the garage to sees someone poking around in there trying to steal his work equipment (drills, air compressor, etc..). He says "Hey get out of my garage!" and chases them ..but the theif is on a bike and is peddling down the aalley behind my house. My dad chased him a half a block and tackled him off the bike and took his coat and hat. When they guy saw that my dad was pissed he just ran like hell. My dad then took the guys bike, and back at my house attached his coat and bicylce to a laundry post with a chain and padlock. The next week my dad sat in my old bedroom staking out the bicycle waiting for the guy to come back to get his stuff. I think he was going to hit him in the head with a hammer or something.. Eventually my mom washed the coat and gave it to goodwill, but my dad still keeps the bike in the garage as his trophy

rockzilla Junkie Location: The Kitchen	Had a bike stolen from me every summer from when I was 7 til I was 14, half of the time it was from my backyard. Even more annoying was 3 years ago when some smartass stole the quick release peg on my front wheel and I had to carry my bike home in two pieces from downtown. My winter jacket with my wallet was stolen in Junior high, I had to wait at the office for 3 hours for my parents to pick me up. Most recently, I was stiffed for nearly $1500 in rent and bills by my old roommates and had the bulk of my valuables stolen at the same time (including half my clothes). I'm not even sure which roommate robbed me, they were all scumbags, and I'll gladly hospitalize any one of them if I ever see them again.

Phaenx The Northern Ward Location: Columbus, Ohio	Caught some mexican trying to switch switch his old battery with my brand new one. Chased him off, kept his battery (it was still good =). Wish I could have caught him though, probably best I didn't. __________________ "I went shopping last night at like 1am.

bondagegirl Muy loca en la cabeza!! Location: San Diego. Ca.	Ganguro I love the story about your dad! How kick ass!!!! hey denim I know that my car is a real targeted car as well as hondas and toyotas but I was saying mine ran like crap (that's probably why they didn't touch the engine), and it was super dirty and wasn't in it's prime anymore with 245,000 miles on it. __________________ "Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today."

Batman976 is you wicked? Location: I live in a giant bucket.	Someone stole my Sopranos: Complete Third Season DVD. I was pretty upset. They stole it right out of my apartment, and even took the disc that was still in the player. I actually am pretty lucky though, because that's all they took. At the time I had over 150 DVDs, and they only took the one set that was still sitting out on my couch. All of my others were in plain sight. So I was pissed off, but relieved at the same time. My story isn't nearly as bad as some of yours though. I suppose I should consider myself lucky that's been my only loss. __________________ The following statement is true.

NoSoup Non-Rookie Location: Green Bay, WI	Well, I guess I could share my stories as well guys, It all started with my car, a 1988 Chrystler LeBaron Convertible Well, to begin, My car was first broken into in my High School Parking lot. How? They just hacked a hole in the soft top, and took my CD Player... Time passes, and I bought a new CD Player... Now, I walk out from school again, and I notice that my CD Player is again missing in action. I look at my car to see how they got in, thinking that they had just used the hole in the top, but no, they weren't even considerate enough for that. On the other side of my car, there was a fresh, brand new hole for someone to use. Time passes, and I bought a different CD Player... Again, I walk out from school, and much to my suprise, (well, not really anymore...) I see that my car has been broken into. This time, the bastards, instead of using 1 of 2 holes already in the top, pry open my door w/ a crowbar. Beautiful.... Well, more time passes, and I get everything fixed, (including the holes) and buy yet another CD Player... I walk out of my house to get into my car in the morning, and as I look in, I see that papers and broken glass are all over the interior of my car... I promptly call the police, open up my car (broken passenger side window) and look for anything that is missing. Here's the strange part: The only thing that was missing was my CD player's faceplate (useless without the CD Player itself). I had prescription Morphine in my locked glovebox (which was pried open), cigarettes, and my CD's. All of my paperwork had been gone through and scattered throughout the car. Interestingly, As I was cleaning out the vehicle, I noticed that all of the broken glass was on top of the paperwork, there was none underneath. This leads me to believe that whoever broke into my car either picked the lock or opened it in a less intrusive way, but when they didn't find what they were looking for, took the faceplate and smashed the window to make it look like a common burglary. Now, I have no idea what they were looking for, but I would be interested to find out. The following night, (after getting my window fixed) I got home later at night. There was a car parked on the street next to my house, but I didn't take much notice of it until I saw someone bolt from the side of my house, into the car (someone else had flung open the door) and watched it peel off with the person sticking halfway out of the car. I, of course, slammed my car into gear and chased them. At first, they didn't notice me behind them, but the second they did the driver swerved onto the wrong side of the street and gunned it. I followed close behind, and once I had their license plate & make of car, I let them go due to the fact that we were driving rather wrecklessly. (60mph in the oncoming lane) I called the police, gave them the info, and never heard about it again. Just thought I would share.... __________________ I have an aura of reliability and good judgement. Just in case you were wondering... Last edited by NoSoup; 06-29-2003 at 09:14 PM..

World's King Here Location: Denver City Denver	It's mainly been car stereos... over and over again... It's been about $25,000 in stereo stuff and CDs in the past four years. This is part of the reason I don't own a car anymore and never will. __________________ heavy is the head that wears the crown

bartgroks Crazy Location: Dallas, Tx.	I had someone break open the window of my car and reach in and steal my son's (who was 3 at this point) winter coat. Dallas Cowboy's coat; It was probably traded for crack. How low do you have to be to steal a little kid's winter coat? I had more valuable things ripped off at times but I have never been a disgusted. __________________ I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by Google Last edited by bartgroks; 07-01-2003 at 10:20 AM..

clavus pow! Location: NorCal	As I lay on my apartment floor, bleeding and drugged from oral surgery gone wrong, some bastard cut my lock and stole my bike. I was religious about keeping it inside my place, but the ONE day I was too messed up to carry it up stairs, it got ripped off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've had two different cars broken into. Both times the damage to the car was far more costly than the value of the stereo equipmet stolen. __________________ Ass, gas or grass. Nobody rides for free.
