Some people suck

OMG, I can't believe you just said that. Dude, not to rush to judgement here, but you were practically asking to have your car broken into. At least that's the attitude of both the theif and the cops.

Thats like telling a woman in a skimpy outfit she deserved to be assulted. What I leave in my car is completley irrelevent. the problem souldn't be with people who have things people want. The problem is with some peoples F 'd morals, thinking they have a right to take what doesn't belong to them.

There's a difference between asking for it, and deserving it.  No one deserves to be raped, robbed, or killed.  But it's still really stupid to walk through a dark alley in nothing but a g-string if you don't want to be three-wayed by some drunken crooks.  It would also be stupid to walk into a crowd of bikers, key their bikes and kick them all in the balls if you want to live a long life.

There are some simple, basic, common sense rules you can follow to dramatically lessen the chances of your car being broken into and the contents stolen.  #1 is don't leave things inside that are likely to entice someone to break in.  If you really, really love something that you own, you don't display it in public in what is basically an unsecured glass case.  They are still wrong if they do rob you, but I can't say I don't understand why they would do such a thing.  I hate mofos that think they deserve to relieve you of your excess riches (floyd anyone?) but it's up to you to take all reasonable steps to protect yourself.

Wal Mart tries to protect itself with anti-theft devices, security guards, and cameras, so I can't say they are asking to be robbed (their prices are lower than a lot of other places, simply due to the fact that they ARE so big, so floyd's logic on ripping them off is extremely flawed....)

You're taking things that don't belong to you. Try to justify your actions all you like, it's still wrong from both an ethical and a legal standpoint.

I'm bumping this up to relate a story from a friend of mine.

This is a true story, but I altered the names.
Well it seems this the  Christmas of stolen property.   

When  mom, 92, was a little girl, her family had a "one horse open sleigh".  It was called a cutter.  When I first opened piano restoration business I did a complete restoration of that  sleigh. 

Today it was MISSING! 
BUT, I found it in another's yard.  The Police were called.  Charges were
signed, and the low life sons a bitches were dragged away...... 

Then,Since the sleigh was found at the parents house, they were hauled out of work in cuffs for possessing stolen property.  I loved it when they were shown
the tracks of the runners in the gravel from our house to their house.

I love it when justice is served COLD!

This is a true story, but I altered the names.

So the woman's name wasn't really mom?

[ErikRuud]

No her real name is Mother. 

Actually, I left out my friends name, and the name of his business.

[Dartful Dodger]

No her real name is Mother.

EXCELLENT story, thank you for sharing! 

It warms my heart to think that, thanks to their kids, their entire family was able to enjoy Christmas, bringing the whole family together.........BEHIND BARS! 

Although if I were dragged from work in cuffs, they would probably put me back behind bars the minute I was out for beating the snot out of my kid who caused all the problems in the first place, but I'm betting these parents are the "he's trying to "express himself" sort", and won't dole out the parental punishment that is their responsibility.

Good times, these holidays!

DrewKaree,

If this story had occured near me, I would agree with you.

But!!!!

This story occurred in Mid America farm country.  There is good chance those kids will get a whoopin'!

EXCELLENT, simply EXCELLENT!
