Friggin' thieves hit my truck over the week end. Got my GPS but nothing else but they did toss my console.
The truck was locked. How they got it in is beyond me. |
|
Quoted:
Right in my drive way, by 122nd and McArthur. Nothing is broken or and it was locked. We had an email going around work about somethin like this, check the passenger side door handle, look for a small hole under it, then they use something and unluck the truck, get what they want n then lock it up and leave.....I'm sure theres a video of it somewhere. The vehicle was an Expedition if I remember right. |

I read the title and I was wondering how/why you were on the internet if your house had been hit by one of these tornadoes. 
And when you say they got in through the back window, is it one of the sliding three section ones with the little latch holding it closed? I locked myself out of my last truck one time and managed to get in by slowly bending that little window (don't know what kind of glass/plastic they used but it was a little bit flexible) just enough to reach in and push the latch with my pocket knife. You might check how flexible that piece is and look at that as a possible means of entry. P.S. Since I basically just told the world how to get in to a truck with a sliding back window, I suggest everyone look into securing their vehicles with one of these windows. Bar holding the window shut, super-glue, replacing it with a single pane, etc. Also, I have alibies for my whereabouts up until Sunday night.

My guess was either a sliding glass window or the little wing windows like the '90's F-150 had. I can get a wing window open in twenty seconds if I have the coat hanger pre-bent. If I'm not worried about damage, I can pop a wing open in under ten seconds and you wouldn't know it until water started leaking in. |

I'm thinking this type of thing will start happening more as the economy gets worse and fewer LE are on duty.. For someone who knows what their doing a locked door just slows things down by about 10 sec.. ETA: Ill bet it ends up at a local Pawn Shop....You could check out the ones closest.. Andy.. |
| On some makes and models of cars and trucks you can lift the door handle and slip a welding rod in the hole and move it till you catch the rod that is attached to the lock assembly. Then you force the rod up and it unlocks the door. Works like a charm I learned that from a police officer of all people who locked them selves out of their car. |

hell Dan, I thought your hoa had a neighborhood watch, but then again if it does, it could have been one of those supposed to be "patroling". Some of the hot dogs over here were all for it, talking about how bad we needed one in our neighborhood. It consumed 10 minutes of the HOA meeting and not one person said anything against it. But when I called for volunteers, not one of the big mouths raised their hands. My next comment was "We have one hell of a community spirit in our neighborhood, don't we?" and walked out. It hasn't been mentioned once since that moment three years ago. We've had one home invasion, dozens of car burglaries and home burglaries. People complain all the time. But no one is going to get off their ass. But I will if I catch someone doing something they shouldn't. My neighbors really like the way I watch everything, up to and including lawn men, etc when they pull up in front of a house. I make a big deal of writing tag numbers down where they can see it. It makes the Mexicans really nervous. But I wouldn't give you a plugged nickel if most of my neighbors saw something going on at my house. Only the old lineman living next door with his son and the female bicycling honcho across the street MIGHT do something like call the cops if they saw something. But for the most part, I'm frigged if something happens and I'm not on my toes to stop it. |

Live in the country. Know your neighbors. Look out for each other. Shoot MFers that don't belong
I have walked out a couple of times with a gun in my hand when some idiot stops to look at my cars.  Damn stupid townies are lucky I didn't shoot them.
