Sorry to here this. I have been real lucky over the years. I had my car radio tied down to where took forever to pull it, steal it. Then it died one day, so I spent hours getting it out, pulling it, and left it on the front seat of the car. Some one stole it that night. Funny part was they stole a burned up radio/cassette player, back in 1975.:laugh3:
My house is still boarded up from Hurricane Ike. Looks abandoned. And my jeeps look like JY junk. Best theft deterrent I have ever seen.
I once had $1000 of tools in my 20 year old junker station wagon at the university parking lot, with the rear window down (was in a hurry and forgot to roll it up) all day long, and no one bothered it. Guess they figured with the window down in a 20 year old junkie looking SW there could not possibly be anything of value inside.
By the way, you can force the 3 credit report agencies to put a security lock (freeze, due to stolen identity property in the wild) on your credit accounts for free that forces anyone who gets a credit application in your name to contact you directly (home phone for instance) to verify the credit request is not a fraud attempt. It is free, and they are required to do it.
I had to do this 3-4 years ago when a US database was compromised and I was notified by mail of the security threat.
