lumak Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Just a friendly reminder to lock your vehicles and please remember to take all personal and valuable belongings with you and do not leave them in your car. Our neighborhood (Hwy 92 near East Paulding) was hit with numerous vehicle break-ins last night. Have a safe and happy holiday season Link to post Share on other sites
+subby1 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I NEVER lock my cars.....but I NEVER leave anything in there worth stealing. The windows cost more to replace than the vehicles....so I leave them unlocked. Common sense, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, cept for when you have kids and a ton of money in carseats and a stroller. *sigh* Link to post Share on other sites
+subby1 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Yeah, cept for when you have kids and a ton of money in carseats and a stroller. *sigh* I don't recall my car-seats or strollers costing a ton of money...... but, I do see your point. I just don't have to deal with that anymore. I was mostly referring to people that leave expensive items (i-pods, DVD players, and who knows what inside their vehicles). I base my comments on a lesson I learned long before I had children...I had a friend who would lock up his car all the time (even though there was nothing worth stealing)....so we walk out of the club we were playing in one night...they busted out both front windows (total cost was $275 to replace) so they could steal his POS CD player (total cost was a cool $35). I STOPPED locking my car from that day forward. Link to post Share on other sites
lumak Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I feel so bad for the people who were victims of theft last night. I just wanted to remind people to be safe, remove valuables and lock their vehicles. Link to post Share on other sites

I STOPPED locking my car from that day forward. Well, I've got more than the price of a window invested in carseats (I have three in the car!) and my stroller was on the pricey side, too. So I will take my chances in parking lots, because if anyone comes to my house to try to break out my windows...well, they are getting shot in the leg most likely. Link to post Share on other sites

lumak Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 My neighbor's dog was barking around 2 am and they thought it was probably from a coyote because they have been in our neighborhood -- but turns out it wasn't. I think she kept them out of the neighbor's driveway and mine. Good dog! Link to post Share on other sites

Teatime Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I NEVER lock my cars.....but I NEVER leave anything in there worth stealing. The windows cost more to replace than the vehicles....so I leave them unlocked. Common sense, IMO. Yup, I had a friend who's windshield was smashed for a quarter I just don't keep valuables in my van. I have 2 carseats .. but I actually had my van broken into a few years ago .. they didn't take a thing .. just left the door open guess car seats aren't on their list.

dana Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 A friend of ours had her car broken into at Movies 278 the other night. She left her purse hidden under the seat and they smashed the windows and stold it. Link to post Share on other sites
hitch Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'm with Subby, leave them unlocked and don't keep anything of value in the car. I fear that someday I'll defend my property and take some parents child from them over a personal item worth $100.00 I pray that the good lord gives me patience and good judgment, instead of anger. As many people that I know who are armed to the teeth here in Paulding, I'm surprised we have not had some idiot get shot yet. Link to post Share on other sites
