After our last period class got out a bit early, the security guard asked me if my car's "glass was broken? Some cars were broken into." I run outside the campus to where my car is parked (11th graders aren't allowed to park inside the campus), and I see broken glass everywhere. I approach my car, and see that it is untouched. There was an old BMW 740 and a Chrysler 300C broken into, my classmates' cars. The guy who owns the BMW had left his brand new video ipod in his cupholder. We told him to put it away, because he was just asking to be broken into. The owner of the 300C had a $20 cell phone in his cupholder. My car was next in line, but I had luckily hid my $450 Escort 9500i radar detector into my center console, because I knew things like this would happen. So, 2 passenger windows, an ipod, and a cell phone later, I realize the street is not a safe place to leave your cars with valuables out in the open. 😉
EDIT: My dad told me a story after I told him this. When he lived in Santa Monica, CA, he had an old VW Bug, and anyone with one knows that the windows are very easy to pull down from the outside. His cassette player wasn't working well, so he bought a Walkman, but left it in the cup holder one day. He came back the next day and saw his window down and a Walkman missing. So, he bought another one, and one day forgot it out in the open again. Since he used to smoke back then, he left a pack of cigarettes in the cup holder with it. He comes back the next morning and sees the window rolled down... again. The thief took the Walkman and the pack of cigarettes, leaving a note behind: "Thanks for the cigarettes!" :laugh:
