    Default #$%^# Vandal Thiefs!

    My Mom has had her Accord broken into twice in the last week. She lives in S. FW. All she has is a car port. Both times a window has been smashed out. The first time they stole a gas card she shouldn't have left in the car. (Mom! What were you thinking?) This morning all they did was smash another window. Doors were still locked.

    She doesn't have a car alarm. Not sure how much it would help anyway. Moving is not an option. FW Police say they will step up patrols. meh...

    I could suggest leaving the doors unlocked but that might create new issues. My mom will not arm herself.
    ...and across the line.

    Bet the second time around they were looking for another gas card.

    I bet even if she didn't lock the car they would still break the window...

    What about some window tint, make it harder to look in the car, or what about a nice florescent light in the carport to make it a less desirable target??

    Good thoughts..

    The window tint might help and I'll see if she has a light or we can wire one up.

    I've always liked motion detector lights or one of those big sodium-vapor dusk-to-dawn lights.

    I think in this situation it would be more effective to have Samuel L. Jackson camp out in the back seat with a mother farkin shotgun to shoot the mother farkin punks that keep breakin out the window.

    That sucks. Our Corolla was broken into in Chicago. They took about $1.42 in loose change but left my Maui Jim sunglasses in the glove box. Sorry this has happened to your mom. I vote for big guns. Or a big dog.

    The problem is these punks are doing it in broad daylight. It's a back alley carport that doesn't see a lot of foot traffic.

    Don't believe it - the last time I was the victim of a similar problem was during a downpour. The investigating officer pointed out that nobody pays attention at a time like that.
