OT-they stole my car

Somebody came in the back door of my fly shop and stole my jacket off the
back of my chair. Well that was not toot bad but my car keys were in the
pocket and they stole my car too.

The CHP told us our report number was 1777, which is how many cars were
stolen today.

Sounds like an inside job...

/daytripper (You got many disgruntled employees, Bill? ;-)

The sad fact is that they don't have any budget left to catch them or to
incarcerate them for very long. The bad guys know this too.

Sad to hear about your loss too.

I just got stung for a chainsaw (thankfully not my good one) a compressor,
a
chop saw, and a gas welder. My friend reminded me that there's a special
place in Hell for the theives.

In Oregon ( Portland in particular ) you get a ticket for stealing a car.
The same as for jaywalking. In fact they would rather give tickets to
jaywalkers because they pay the fines. My be cheaper than buying a new car
if you could find a way to register it first.
It might pay to buy the onstar system and get insurance with Guido and
Louigi. Battery operated drills and amature knee surgery might cut down on
car thieft.

... until Guido and Louigi, and maybe Your Local Police
Department, start using that Onstar System to track you
and what you do every time you drive the car.

If you're not doing anything illegal, what do you have to worry about? :-)

The best thing about systems like Onstar is that eventually no one will have
to steal cars at random.....they'll be able to find just the one they want.

Around here, budget doesn't have anything to do with it. Think about it,
unless it is an actual 'ring' - stripping and reselling and such, there
isn't much to go on.

The vast majority of car thefts are joyrides. Maybe for a day or a week or
someone jacks a car merely for a ride home, and when the tank is empty he
might sell it for twenty bucks and kids with enough money for a tank of gas
can have a nice ride for the weekend.

.....and then, thanks to Television, the torch and burn the cars to get rid
of the evidence.

Heck, cops don't even fingerprint recovered cars as a rule, just call the
owner and tell him where it's parked.

I highly recommend reading a book called 'Fixing Broken Windows. Bringing
order to a disorganized society' ...or something like that....
