If someone broke into you car right now, what all would they get?

Yesterday I happened to have a bunch of stuff in my truck with me, laptop, canon camera, cell phone, wallet and MP3 player. Stuff that was easy to grab without taking much time.

Made me paranoid all day about parking places.

If someone busted into your car right now, what all kinds of goodies would they get? Not stereo stuff that is actually attached to your car, but misc stuff that is just in your car.
 
#1 rule - don't leave your car with valuable stuff in plain sight. I think that should be common sense. It just gives the potential theif more incentive to shatter your glass in the first place.

I am able to get most of my stuff out of sight, so you wouldnt know any of it was there unless you got in the truck and looked around.

 
hm...

ski boots, camelbak, a pair of oakleys, a 12" sub w/abroken amp....

oh my wallet and keys too


but my car's in the garage so i don't care
 
Guinness Record of Irish pub tunes (LP - That's vinyl for all you yungins)
about 20 real CD's - mostly the wifes' country music, so no big loss..
manuals, oh... my Oskar Winter Snow Brush... I'd be very mad if someone stole that..
if they got into the trunk, some firewood, and my golfbag...

So, in retrospect, not much at all..

What I did when I needed to go "shopping" for something after leaving work somedays... I decided to take my laptop with me into the store, instead of leaving it in the car altogether... even if it would've been out of sight if I left it there. If you can help it, do it.
 
Several socks, a pair of Nikes, perhaps five empty windshield washer fluid bottles, and probably 10 or 20 bic lighters, slowly collected during several years of smoking.

Irish pub tunes and firewood huh? What was your address again?
 
Don't leave anything in sight. Always leave stuff in the glove compartment/center console/underneath the seat.

Because of that, my car looks empty as hell from the windows.

Although I do usually leave my digicam in there.
 
my cd wallets with a crap load of burnt cds (go back-ups go!). oh, and a water bottle. if they check the middle console, my zippo also. but luckily, im at work, and cops set up speed traps in the parking lot for the adjacent street, so i dont anticipate anyone coming around.

/me crosses fingers.
 
they woud take my CD player and some cds and some junk, not all that bad, id get a new car and id be happy
