Default I was Just Robbed Again!!!!

I got up this morning to find my trunk lid wide open. It looks like someone got the lock out with an axe! So i called the cops and they said man that sucks and **** we are sorry! who cares if they are sorry? But i did get a new trunk lid over at a local salvage yard off of a ssei so i got the fancier tail lights now. the ones with the black stripes! i had to pay $200 for the lid with the wing on it. then i had $50 in paint. It is all painted up and drying as i type this. i will be putting it back on after class tonight! As for the $1000 in stereo stuff..... i doubt i will be buying a new system in the immediate future since i have only minimum coverage on insurance.

PS this makes twice now for this car!

if someone takes an axe to the back of your car they are still gonna do alot of damage with an alarm or not and bolting stuff down doesnt always work because if the person gets frustrated they will just break the stuff they cant get...sorry for your loss

All the need is a security sytem that acts like a taser, give the person a shock of a lifetime
But sorry for the loss. That has to really suck.

I do have an alarm. But we live by train tracks and alarms go off all of the time at this apartment complex. so no one really pays attention to them.
Thanks for the sympathy. If you guys would like to donate to the buy Jordan a new stereo fund pleas email me and i will gladly accept donations! LOL!

I can't stand a darn thief! They are right up there with liars and cheats. Too bad you have a hidden camera and at least get a look at who'* doing it.-
