Gibbie 1, Thieves 1
Well, my car got broken into last night, for the second time in it's history. They smashed the windowpane behind the backseat roll-down window, called the quarterglass. So, what did they steal? Absolutely nothing. I hardly use the car, and i almost never keep anything in it. The last time this happened, they stole my nice stereo, plus CD case with CDs. Not again. So i got a cheaper radio and bolted it in to the car. However, i didnt' remove the faceplate, so that was a thief magnet. The thieves were unable to remove the stereo, since you have to dismantle the dashboard to do so. So, they left their tools in there, and ran. So i'm out a quarterglass, but not much beyond that. Unfortunately it can be pretty expensive to fix at traditional shops or say the deal. But you can get it used online and get your local friendly mechanic to repair it. At least that's what i did last time. Sigh. Not a happy 4th here!

Oh, and no news on the squirrel cam either. My mother-in-law got a bungie squirrel feeder, so i stuck two corn cobs on it as 'bait', and setup a webcam to record the happy even (namely, squirrel jumps onto corn cob and goes for a ride). But no such luck, i guess they don't like corn.

Don't give up! Once those squirrels find that corn, you'll have lots of darling? critters eating and bouncing. :) :)

Geez! Sorry about your troubles. How about putting a sign on your car stating that the radio is not in the dashboard, and that nothing valuable is kept in the car? Also, I recommend putting a club on the steering wheel. I've used one for several years. It just makes it a little more difficult to jack your car.
