My Truck's Stereo was Stolen; those bastards!

HOLY CARP!!!
Sometime over the past couple of nights someone went into my Truck which was parked in my driveway and stole my Pioneer SuperTuner CD player. Nothing else was taken except the center console was emptied of all its paper and it was all thrown on the driver side floor. They were probably looking for CDs or money or whatever. It would have loved to have seen the look on the theif's face as he looked through my CD collection of Classical and early 70's Progressive Rock CDs. :lol2:

Ugh.

I have the original stereo and re-installed it which was very easy to do.

It makes me mad when people think they are entitled to that which is mine.

No, I did not and will not file a police report. It's a waste of time and energy to do so. Nothing will result in me making the government spend money and resources on something as trivial as a car stereo.

Sorry to hear that, Mark. I thought you lived somewhat remotely in the country on a big piece of property?

You should realize that since the government already has confiscated the taxes to pay for the police, it is not contributory to call upon their services for which you have already paid. And you might be helping to catch them, and prevent your neighbors from suffering as well.

All that is necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing.

Sorry to hear that, Mark. That sucks.

In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Don't you need a police report to file an insurance claim?

Going to buy a new Shotgun this weekend. I'm going to take Jolly's advice on that one and get a smallish, 20 gauge.

It was a truck, Mark. You had it coming to you, you environmentally insensitive lout. Just be grateful that it wasn't suburban DC and that it wasn't a Hummer. Someone would have smashed in the windshield, and you wouldn't even be able to find a lawyer.

Seriously, though, what a pain in the azz that is. It's a hassle, and you feel violated. About 4 years ago, someone smashed the window of my Jeep and stole my cellphone! What an idiot.

Of course, it was a hassle to clean up, lose the car for a day while they fix it....blah, blah.

And to think, in Wisconsin!

Feh.

The only time I've had something stolen was a few years ago. I was doing Habitat for Humanity in Jamaica Queens. I left my cell phone on thed car seat by mistake, and someone broke the window of my car and stole it.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

My wife made me report it.

Waiting for an officer to arrive to take my statement.

Is that for toll roads and bridges? If so, wouldn't that be easy to track when they use it?

People stealing stuff sucks.

Several years ago some brainiac tried to steal my after-market radio. They popped off the faceplate, and apparently tried to pry the damn thing from out of the dashboard, cracking the one piece dashboard, resulting in a $700 insurance claim.

I'll never figure out why they hell they just didn't use the screw driver sitting in the passenger seat. :shrug:
