Yes lol. He was the guy that plastered this SS # on the side of box trucks and about 6 people had credit cards and loans out in his name

I'm mostly worried about this guy breaking into my house. He broke into my car on my driveway what would stop this guy from breaking into my house?

What would worry that theif is that police are now aware of this and that they will be more police activity around the area hopefully. And also, this time you'll be prepared with a bat or a gun!

I prefer bat or knife but that's just me! xD

Don't forget about camera and motion sensor detectors!

We have a great Alarm company in California..Not one of those nationwide one's..

When the criminals see the outdoor signs and the window stickers, they will pick another house..

If the alarm goes off, The police are called, and in our town, they still show up every time..Not all towns do, some have stopped showing up due to budget cuts.. And some nation wide alarm companies suck..

But for me, it is piece of mind whether I am home or not, I know that the house is safer...

4: last but not least. Don't leave items in car when parked.

Unless you live in the few burby areas of the 5 boroughs that you can actually garage your car cuz the houses have an attached one? You can't leave stuff in it. Especially if its a case of any kind. It won't last 20 minutes.

There's no such thing as a good area in nyc. It doesn't matter how rich you are or how much more police you think you're getting due to the financial status of the area you're in.. If you're in the area of the 5 boroughs, within 5 blocks, there's a hood and within 2 blocks there's a thug all the.time, waiting for the next careless unguarded person to make a mistake.

That's NYC. Guard yaself n ya personals. It sucks to have to live that way in NY. But just make it routine and it will begin to feel normal.

+1...

I am in NYC very often with my Z and always paranoid where I park. And you are right... there is no such thing as a "good area" to park.

Last night my Z got broken in to. I live in a very nice area in the north shore of Chicago and they left me with this.

Stole my radar and my wallet.

Cops found finger prints though.

I will find you...

That really sucks. Sorry to hear that.

The car's alarm doesn't go off if the windows are broken when the lock is on?

area3z · 05-21-2012, 06:55 PM

Sorry for your loss. Where on north side are you?

Bucketlist2012 · 05-21-2012, 07:00 PM

I just watched a video in chicago where the tow truck backed up to a newer GTO and hooked it, and just drove off...

They had a sign, "not for hire "....We are never truly safe..

LoJack would help, but thieves just suck..

I just noticed this thread! The exact same thing happen to my 2010 Z the very same night. I was parked in Wrigleyville. Pissed me off royally, but since I had nothing in the car the broken window was the worst of it. Police wouldn't even come look at it. Luckily, my insurance has pretty good window coverage and it was fixed the next afternoon at my girlfriends house who I was visiting at the time. They also got BMW X3 parked behind me.
Apparently some people leave their cars unlocked to avoid being broken into. I don't know if I would feel comforable doing that though.
I my case I had absolutely nothing to be seen and I have no idea what they thought they could find. The cubbie on the dash was open and the console when I discovered it the next morning. All the little odds and ends were still there...even a very nice tire gauge.

You're a fool to think that because you live in a nice area that thieves won't be able to reach you.

You're even a bigger fool for leaving your wallet in the car.

I hope you learned a lesson.

Since I live in Texas I can tell you that my house would be the last house any thief would break into because my shotgun or 45cal would pump some lead into his body.

Just joking or am I.

First, I left the wallet by accident so that was my bad. But in the past ten years I lived here, I've never even seen or heard of anyones car getting broken in to by my area. (I live in Northbrook). Plus cops are everywhere here. I mean why don't they go after Derrick Rose's car down the street rather than mine since his bently is much nicer than mine? Not to mention he leaves a lot of stuff in his car all the time. This was just bad luck I guess.
