OP's next thread will be about his tennis buddies reminding him of the drunken mishaps that went on his last game.

Do you know nothing about sports? Bowling, softball and golf are played drunk, frisbee and hackey sack are played high, tennis you play straight. That's stuff you should learn as a child.

friend used to get his truck gone through regularly, and if he locked it he might have a broken window. he started leaving presents. non-functioning electronics, watches, etc. thief got tired of his junk and left the truck alone :p
That's bloody brilliant. It's like trying to get rid of a piece of furniture - offer it for free and it's yours forever, put it outside with a price tag and someone is likely to steal it overnight. Plus, you don't have to help load it.

Forgot to lock my car last night. Remembered about it just before bed, didn't bother to go out and lock it because it's not the kind of neighborhood where that it usually an issue.
Ah man..... You should always follow your instinct! (You remembered . Ya should have gone out and locked it)


Im so sorry bud!! (Somehow I hope they are found)

Is there nobody in the entire world that knows the difference between a robbery and a burglary?

Well, you certainly don't.

A burglary is entry into a structure to steal goods and it implies a victim is not present.

A robbery is stealing goods directly from a victim.

In the case of a car it's neither burglary nor robbery, the correct word is larceny.

However, in this case I never said I was the victim of a robbery, I said "I was robbed" and there is a major difference. While "robbery" implies the presence of a victim, being "robbed" does not and "I was robbed" is an accurate and completely acceptable phrase for having goods stolen from a vehicle.

Now that you've learned those distinctions look up "pedantic" and "bit on the ass".

All I could find was immature and butthurt.
