Broken Into
My car got broken into. Friday morning Stephanie and I got up around 4am to get ready for her trip to Florida in which she was going to hang out with her girl friends. She woke me up at 4:40 and I got up, threw on some clothes and we headed out to my car. When I opened up the door I realized the car lamp did not turn on and when I got in there was this a thing in the way. It was at this time I realized someone had been in my car. When I turned on the lamp, someone had broken into my car.
I quick survey revealed they had taken my stereo and some cds. They had broken the very back passenger window (not the window that rolls down, but the little one in the far back). They also took an 80G external hard drive I had just bought and a set of tools.
Luckily I didn't have my ipod in the car.
I was pretty upset and layed around when I got home. I called the police and ended filing a report two hours later. I also filed with my insurance who couldn't do anything because I only have liability.
On Saturday I got the window fixed and now need to get the front panel replaced. I'm debating getting a new stereo. The face to my stereo was hidden and there was no way that the burglars would have known that the face was inside the car. So, even if I had taken the face with me they would have broken in. Maybe I'll get one of those where the entire stereo pulls out.

The hard drive was in the trunk and thought the face plate was in the car it was hidden and couldn't be seen from outside the car.
My car got targeted due to location. At Stephanies the parking is really bad and sometime you have to park a street over. The closest spot is on the corner under a tree with weeping branches and no light. If you cross the street you are in a low income neighborhood (think, other side of the tracks).
Thinking back on it I do recall seeing glass in that area so I'm sure many cars have been hit there.
