It's one thing to read about other people on the forum, but it's a whole different thing when it happens to you. I just need to vent to people who can truly feel my pain, so here it goes...

My passenger side rear tire has a 3+ inch roofer's nail in it, so I have a donut tire on, so I haven't been driving my car lately. It was parked across the street from my house, so I didn't notice that my passenger side window was smashed out. I moved it last thursday, so it could have happened any time since. I live in the Sunset, SF if that means anything to you.

I was going to Concord with my girlfriend and got in to move the car. As I opened the door, I noticed the shifter trim was pulled out. I was like wtf? It was kind of a shock when it first happened, so I didn't realize what happened. And then I noticed that my passenger window was missing and my car was dissheveled. The prick popped the window (I can see where he used the screwdriver) and it was sitting in one piece in the gutter thanks to tint. He took the stereo along with the din pocket and my cd book, which is worth more than the stupid stereo. 15 years of Slayer, Metallica, Bay Area Rap, old ass 80's stuff and random stuff like the Scarface soundtrack. I have a hatch, so he popped the rear seat down and looked in the trunk.

1) He (I'm assuming it's a he) was smart because he didn't open the doors, so my alarm didn't go off.

2) He was stupid because he left my GReddy gauges, momo shift knob and hks fan controller alone. Although he did CUT the Blitz SBC iD remote though, rending it useless. I had it run into the din pocket. I think I'm most pissed about that. At least he was kind enough to not break the shifter trim or damage my shift boot. He used a screw driver, so I have all the screws to put it back together. He left almost a g worth of stuff alone for some stupid $175 (in 2002 dollars) base model stereo. Caution: criminal mastermind at work.

He went through all my stuff, but left my registration sticker/info on the front seat. He also didn't get the new Optima Redtop in the back thankfully.

I am pissed, but I am glad the car was still there. He must have been a meth/crackhead, only concerned with the stereo, which was a pos anyway. It was my bad for getting complacent and leaving the face on - so be sure to remove that because that little bit of vigilence would have saved me the feeling of violation that I have right now. He also stole the lighters out of my car (aim high). Yet he left the orange and black Giants beanie that I keep over my nrg short qr so smart thieves can't tell what kind of qr I have.

On the bright side, I didn't find my car sitting on blocks somewhere. I only have to replace the stereo, din pocket and sbc iD thing (I hope it's not too pricey). On the other hand, I feel completely violated. It's also the end of the semester, so I have rent money left and that's about it, so the car is going to sit in my parents' garage until I can sort this out (they just love it when my car sits in there for long periods of downtime).

I thought that a clifford 3.5 rsx pager, no steering wheel and alpha lock would protect me, but some basehead still managed to ruin my day. In case you're wondering, my driveway is too steep for my car to make it up - normal cars' exhausts scrape at the top of the driveway. Nevermind my front lip at the bottom of it.

It's probably a good thing this happened, because now I am no longer complacent and I'm going to be moving to a place with a garage that my car can access soon. Overall, my loss wasn't too great - it's more of an inconvenience, but the feeling of violation is the worst. Some dickfour was sitting in my car having his way with her.

It's a good thing I didn't catch him because I'd probably be sitting in a cell at 850 Bryant (jail) for the long weekend waiting for the judge on Tuesday. That little shit would have been sitting on the receiving end of 30 5.56's or 7.62's. I'm glad I didn't because my career would have been over before it even started over a dumb stereo. The stereo and window can be replaced.

I already feel better. I just hope that whoever did this sees the light before something bad happens to them. Like this guy:

My brother found that guy with his gray brains splattered all over the sidewalk on his first day on the job. He says as long as I have the serials on my stereo, it could turn up. I don't really care, I'd rather the perp wearing an orange jumpsuit with a mac truck exhaust pipe for an anus. I'm still going over it in my mind, I don't think I left anything else in the car, but I can't be sure right now.

I also had one question - I'm too peeved to search atm - can I use a non-power window on my power window? There's one at the junkyard right now.
