i tell ya, even in my quiet little area here they are getting worse. for years i have never had a problem with leaving anything unlocked or open or anything. then this saturday i had rented a car trailer from work(fyi good discount) to go to an auction. well i drive home everything good, then have a friend pick me up and get my dad's truck and bring that home(dad drives OTR so had to bring pickup home) well i get back, in like 10 mins tops and the adapter from my truck to the trailer is gone. had to make a new one 13 bucks. but still i have never had these problems before, with anyting that i know of. and if i didn't have a padlock on the trailer who knows, it could have disappeared as well. but maybe its just a wierd chance? but i feel better now that i wrote this out.

Watch "It Takes A Thief" it'll make you think twice about your security choices.

I know what you mean. Yesterday my dad caught a couple kids (12 and 7) trying to break in to the shed. They ran off and they left a skate board, a screw driver and a bike behind, so my dad took them back to the house and called the cops, so the kids would have to come back to the house to get their stuff back.

Edit: Where they live, Madison, MS, there is almost no crime. There was a shooting back in 2005 at McDonald's, the first on in 20 some odd years, and the guy was on bail for $1 Million.

i actually got so tired of tweaker's braking into my old toyota looking for crap when it was empty and the alarm with the horn under the hood didn't really do the trick at defying them so i mounted 3 sirens in the cab under the dash and behind the seats so when they broke in they got a dose of reality really really loudly...
some of the gull some people have is beyond me. my nabor had his christmas decorations stolen in brode daylight this past christmas and guess who had the same kind of decorations the next day on his lawn 9 houses down on my same street? yup some tweaker, and the cops wouldn't t do anything about it because the guy was a snicher for the cops and gave them info on people, the tweaker's wife clubbed someone in the head with a 4d cell maglight 4 weeks ago and guess what? the cops nor the state didn't press charges for attempted murder... the guy (was with his 6y/o son btw) was only walking his dog and the chick was high and didn't like the barking from the dog at her cat and attacked him..

reminds me of an old song... *its the end of the world as we know it**

That song's not that old.

"But it'll do to save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat
tell me with a rapture and the reverend and the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched."

my fiero, when i bought the PO told me someone had stolen the stereo out of the car when he parked in the drive broad daylight he happened to be walking outside when they ran. and again once he was gone they bent the automatic shifter back to get the stereo. \
can't belive some peoples nerve

Don and I live in the small town of cleveland, Texas. His sister had her garage broken into and got her riding mower stolen. Then her suv was stolen. Then there was a tractor stolen from Don's workplace. My brother had an attempted theft of his bicycle, but the wheel was chained. My car was broken into, and they left the door open and the rain soaked it. This was all within six months. I've never seen so many theives in one town. I suspect crackheads. I'll be so glad to move to the southern hill country in november.
