yesterday, the second car got broke-in in my garage.(my lover's car is the first.)

maybe tonight, they gonna pick up my TL... and do something to it...

(there are only like 20 cars in my garage... and my car is the most arrestive.)

what should i do to protect my car?!

COPS IN THIS CITY (VANCOUVER) = NOTHING TO DO BESIDE GIVE YOU SPEEDING TICKETS...

ps: admin, this is not rambling, rite? i m just looking for some ideas to protect it...

PLEASE DON'T MOVE IT... THANX FOR UR UNDERSTANDING...T_T

 

Hook a stun gun up to the door handle and sit in the bushes.

 

Sleep in your car.
Anyway you can put up some security cameras? Maybe install an alarm with a pager. How long does it take you to get to your car if you run?

 

never park behind your mom's car, or this will happen

your mom won't break-in ur car rite?

i heard there is a 2 way alarm system...

if ur car got break-in or something, your remote control will warning you...

Will that help?

 

Having a two way pager system is very useful & helpful, but just like most alarms it does is by you some time.

 

Had a friend who surprised a couple of guys while they were breaking into his car ... (Pager alarm worked) Prob was they took a crowbar to him and he was in the hospital for about a week.

Unless you're ready to rumble (or take pictures from a LOOOOONNNGGG way off) I would remember its just a car, park it in a well lit and busy area of your garage and hope for the best.

 

My best suggestion would be to place some camara's all around the garage. Have some that are visible so they know they are there, Hook them all up the your living room TV and keep an eye every once and a while. Some drastic but that's what I would do. G'luck hope for the best.

 

place a note on your car asking burgalar's to not vandalize your car? maybe leaving all the windows open might help.....so they won't shatter any glass to get inside...I remember when my accord got broken into..I would've rather left all my doors and windows unlocked...so they wouldn't shatter glass...

 

Maybe you could get one of those cool metal car covers like they had for the Bat Mobile... Seriously though, I think your best bet is to keep an eye open, burglars are going to do what they want to do one way or another, the best thing is to be vigilant and keep no valuables in the car.

 

To Brewmaster;

Bummer about your friend. Perhaps he should have been carrying a handgun and had it ready to use. He would have been justified to use it if attacked with a crowbar. Chances are as soon as he presented, the maggots would have put some distance between him and them.


To terse;

You're kidding.. right? Sounds like that add in the 70's that said, "Don't help a good boy go bad" as a slogan for not leaving you keys in your car. Well, good boys don't steal cars.. bad boys do. And bad people do bad things.

A note just might encourage some worthless scum to scratch or otherwise, vandalize your car. Your only real hope is a garage in your own home where you can keep it locked up at your calling. Either that or waiting for the maggots and confronting them with more than Christmas cards.

 

"good" people do bad things too though.....maybe get a car cover with a lock...that's what I have...but then again..I live in a nice neighborhood..

 

Yeah, good people DO do bad things from time to time, but not BAD things.. like stealing a car or breaking into someone's home or pulling a street robbery. Those things are reserved for bad people. And those kinds of people deserve whatever bad happens to them. Suppose some 17 year old maggot is breaking windows on cars parked on the street and slamming hoods and fenders with a baseball bat. And suppose someone wakes up to the noise and has had this happen just one too many time. And this someone graps his shotgun and blows the 17 year old maggot away. Are you going to lose any sleep over this? I know I'm not. Just one less maggot to damage people's property. Besides, it's not like the human race is in danger of going extinct.

 

Southern - I feel you, but blowing away someone, even if he is an a-hole is just gonna mean you spend your time in jail, a-hole's family suffers, your family suffers .. it's a no win!

 

To Brewmaster;

I didn't say "me". I just related a scenario and mentioned that I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. While you are allowed to use such force to protect property in some states (like Virginia), I would be careful doing so. However, the crowbar incident you described is a clear example of the justifiable use of deadly force and I should think no grand jury in Delaware would indict your friend if he had used such force.

Frankly, I could care less about the perp's family.. the burden's on him to worry about them, not me. Once he's crossed that line, he forfeits any rights or privileges to claim self-defence or sympathy.

 

...with your "lover"

 

that story you said earlier reminds me of that one movie with the guy, "the dude" I forgot what it was called...where the one they go to the fat kids house and asks for the money..and starts fucking up the new car in front of the house...and then realizes it's not his car...i wish i knew the name of the movie...john goodman was in it..


plus, 17 years old..that's a bit harsh...maybe he's just young and doesn't know any better...maybe he's poor...and society "made" him do it...? I don't know...but I suggest..getting a car cover...it might help..

 

17 years old, 30 years old, 55 years old. At what age do we say wanton destruction of another's property (or worse, life) is the crossover from "we forgive" to "suffer the consequences of your actions".

I have two daughters, grown now, and a wife. If one of them were killed by a 14 year old, I would want him just as dead as if he were 29.

And society doesn't make people do bad things. They chose to do bad things themselves. I know you mean well, but some things in life are harsh and deserve harse responses. About two months ago, two young girls (13 and 14 as I recall) made a pact to do something really dumb. You see, they had gotten into witchcraft worship and decided to take the ulimate step to reincarnation. So as a train approached, they stepped onto the tracks and very quickly found out if their witchcraft was true. Do I feel sorry for their deaths? Hell no. They took a deliberate and calculated decision to end their lives. Ignorance is its own reward. Do I feel for their families. Absolutely. But there is a measure of stupidity there as well. Parents MUST know what their kids are into and what they're doing as much as possible. Otherwise, they're pretty poor excuses for parents.

Oh well.. I'll get off of my soap box for now.

You take care, terse and watch yourself. Don't feel sorry and don't feel sympathy for the dropouts and dredges of society. Almost all of them took a conscious decision to be where they are.

 

i had two paragraphs typed out as a response, but I decided to delete it and just write.


bad people do bad things.
bad people do good things.
good people do good things.
good people do bad things, but when good people do BAD things, it is usually out of desperation or because of not knowing any better (youth). All I'm saying is, let the punishment fit the crime. People shouldn't be blown away for stealing/breaking into a car even if it is our TL, but it's different when it comes to family.


that's all I have to say about that.

 

To terse;

Please don't misunderstant me with this. Would I "blow away" someone trying to steal my car? No, I wouldn't. Only if they presented a threat to me, such as the gentleman who described his friend being attacked by a couple of thieves with a crowbar. That is a deadly threat and the proper response is one of extreme prejudice. If I were to come out of a store and see someone trying to steal my car, I would probably shout like hell at them and hit the panic button on my key fob. Most likely that should cause them to take off running. But if the perp(s) decided to attack me, I would try to respond with the appropriate level of force to cease the attack immediately.

I hope this is clear to you. I don't look for trouble in any way. In fact I tend to avoid trouble spots more than the average person because most of the time I am carrying a concealed weapon which forces ,me to act on a somewhat higher plane. And I prefer not to have to use it if I can avoid a situation.

But I don't feel bad for someone who wantonly commits a crime and receives a serious or fatal reaction for his misdeeds. And age has nothing to do with this. You will be just as hurt or just as dead from the actions of a 13 year old as those of a 30 year old when they start shooting.

 

One more thing to add. I am not Charlie Bronson (from the movie, "Death Wish") who goes out at night to hunt evil doers. To easy to get your ownself injured or killed doing something like that.. it only works in movies.

The best policy to follow is one of, "Always being aware of your surroundings", use common sense, and be prepared where that's possible. I have found this to be the best way to go about your daily activities.

Also, I am a firm believer in the concept that no one really knows how they will react in a crisis situation unless they've had the same kind of or similar experience in the past. I've heard a bunch of people say how they'd blow someone away for doing this or that or for breaking into their home or car. Well the truth of the matter is, most haven't a clue what they would do or how they would react. I fathom some would stand there and crap their pants. Talk is big and cheap. When a perp pulls a gun from his pants or jacket, puts it in your face, and screams, "Your wallet and keys, mother-----", all that talk is only words. I'd much prefer not to ever be in that situation.
