lol, he got off lucky! Back in 2001 I bought a brand new Toyota Echo. I was SO excited because I had only had used piece of crap cars before it. I drove it home, parked it in my driveway, and went to bed. The next morning, I woke up to find that someone has STRIPPED it for parts in my own driveway, and I didn't even hear a thing!
They took all 4 of my tires, my headlights, my tail lights, my driver's side door, and my hood.
I had never been so devastated before in my life. And to top all that off, it was raining really hard, and with the door missing the rain had gotten into my car.

That is why I have alarms in all three of my cars, even the 1990 Honda Accord, it's old but still a target for parts thieves.

My parents' car was broken into while we were cross-country skiing, and the people stole a fanny pack full of dead ski wax.

You got off lightly then. Here if you have a car nicked it'll most likely turn up in Poland. A few months ago on the news they had found 3 brand new Audi A8s completely stripped in the woods. When I mean completely stripped, I mean this .

I couldn't find a picture of the shell of an Audi A8 on its own with no parts attached. So that got put in its place. All of the pictures I could find still had the steering column, gearbox, doors, axles, drivetrain etc.

A 1970's Sebring Satellite! Can't quite tell the year because the tail lights are missing, but I recognize the sleeping power house's sleek form!
It started life like this:

Where are you? I live in Canada, and that is how it is. Unbelievable!
I am a small thin guy. 22 years old 5"4' 106 LBS.
That is why I keep a baseball bat next to my bed! If some fucker breaks down my front door and tries to clean my place out, I will defend myself and my stuff reguardless of the candyass "law".
The sickening thing is that the law will take the cocksucker,
and coddle him and treat him like a victim
and then they will cuff me and throw me in jail!
That is what it has come to! You can't even defend yourself!
A father and husband with a job couldn't protect his children and his wife from a criminal standing in his home!
The hardcore pussies have bred, multiplied and taken over.

I am from Australia & the system here is fucked up. Hell, if a trespasser trips on your property they can sue you & most times they win. Yes it is fucked up and most people around my parts let the scum walk all over them but there is a small few of us that fight back and fight back we do!!!!!!!!
(I could go on for hours but it's well past my bedtime + I'm tired so off to bed I go lol)
