Angry Stolen Car Manual

Ain't this a B!+( h !!! , So I'm at work bored because its kinda a slow day, and one of my co-workers asks to see my manual ok I let him see it. Then we go on a call (im a police officer) and I leave the book in the office forgot all about it until I get home.

Next day rolls around we go in and the manual is gone! Now only 1 other person besides us has a key to that office so I confronted him and he acted very suspicious and said "oh no I havent seen it if u left it, it should still be here" but no sign of it anywhere. DAMMIT!! All my codes (radio/nav) were inside as well as all up to date maintenance records from the previous owner. Plus it just sucks having it not in the glove box. Now I have to go through this long presedure to get my codes back like I had to do with my 1st gen.. .

well thanx for letting me vent. and I guess I'll have to cough up $40 or so for another book.

yup drew, a little over 2 years now. yea I can get u a card(s) thats no prob.

trancemission what makes it so bad it was a detective from internal affairs with the other key. so it could only be him. I think maybe he was cleaning and made a mistake and threw it away (sounds crazy but im trying to give him the benefit of the doubt ya kno) because he doesnt need it he drives a pick-up lol.

obviously, if he is the only person who has the key to be back there, it was probably him. unless the building has a cleaning crew and they took it or accidentally threw it away. i would think with you being a P.O., you would know what to do about this and not be asking car people.


EDIT: you must've made that post right as I was making mine.

Go ahead and vent bro. I think most of us saw this sentence at the end of your original post:

Even for non-materialistic people, it sucks to have something stolen from you, if that is in fact what happened. The fact that possessions can be replaced doesn't prevent the violated feeling that accompanies being a victim of theft if you ask me.

For the sake of your work environment, let's hope a cleaning crew accidentally threw the manual out, although I can't imagine how someone could do that.

thats all you can do Eric. Lets just hope thats the case.

Im sure you'll be able to find another manual no problem. The only thing is your radio code is out there but I dont see that as a big deal....

What's a presedure? Is that a law enforcement technical term?

I was just checking out my Owner Link and my radio and navi codes are listed on it. I can't remember if I put them on there, or if they were already there.

A cop named Leathaface gets his manual stolen by an Internal Affairs officer! An inside job! I want movie rights! That's funny! Well, in a cynical kind of way LeathaFace. WTF were you thinking tho? You know IA will run thru your shit! Don't you have cable? Didn't you watch that movie "Internal Affairs"? :thief:

Just kidding Leatha! Just trying to add some humor to a fucked up situation! Lay a trap for his ass tho bro. Leave the DVD-a disc on your desk and see if he takes the bait! By now, he should know it would make a cool addition to his collection! (since he gathering shit he can't use)

Good luck getting your codes and what not straight!
