Car Break In

[ensteele]

Went out to drive my Pealie to work this morning and as I was getting in, I noticed something on the back seat. GLASS!! I looked around and Yep, the stereo was gone. They left their 12" screw driver on the passenger seat that they used to pry it out along with other parts of the dash. They just hacked away at the wires until they got the unit out. What a mess. I though at least that is all the damage. Called the Sheriff, and they would not come out because they were too busy with other car prowls. I left the car there and drove to work in another car. When I got home, I moved the car out to clean out all of the glass. I went to the passenger side where the broken window was (back one) and then saw what that jerk had done. He had used the screw driver to try to pry out the door handle to get in. He put the screw driver between the door pannel and the handle and bent the metal down about 2 to 3". He kept doing that until he had a big hole in the door and then gave up. Then they just broke the window to get in.

I just got that car painted, and now have to try to match the paint. The metal is all bent up and the paint is cracked. Not a very nice thing.

It is only a car, but it ticks me off that some jerk needed that stereo so bad that he had to damage the car that bad.
