heh
a few day ago I had to drive back to school and stay at my place on campus overnight to do something ridiculous that night for ROTC.
I drove down and chilled there for a few hours prior to departing for the ridiculousness, and lo and behold all my shit was thrown all over inside my truck. I was like, ha asshole you found nothing.
I parked in front on my place under a streetlight when I came back for the night, and when I go to leave the next day, I find a pocketknife on my driver seat.
It appears to be the case that someone broke into the truck again, this time didn't throw everything around, and managed to leave behind his pocketknife. I was highly amused.
Before school started for the school year my truck was broken into, and the criminal completely destroyed my driver-side door lock. Mangled it. At first, I would lock it, and would climb across from the passenger seat to unlock it from the inside (couldn't unlock from outside), then I figured this was an insane hassle and there was nothing inside worth protecting by going through all that. Plus, if someone wanted in bad enough, they'd either break a window or destroy my passenger-side door lock. Then I wouldn't be able to get in.
Thus, I just keep it unlocked now. I have an aux cable that I plug my Zune into, and an aftermarket cd deck (detachable faceplate). I always remove the faceplate and take it, and my zune, with me when I exit the vehicle, so nothing worthwhile stays behind.
However, thieves take the gamble and break in, thinking there is a chance I just stashed the electronics somewhere. ha, you would be wrong fuckers. Why would I leave it unlocked? Think it was an accident? Perhaps, but again, wrong.
It is an annoyance knowing people might just be climbing into the truck throwing crap around, but until I repair that lock (surely under the deductible, and thus out of pocket and that's a bit of money), I'm not risking having a window broken just because someone thought there was a chance I left my stuff in the truck.
