Some idiot broke in, stole all the car's paperwork (bill of sale, insurance stuff, roadside assistance info, registration, original owner's manual) and my cell phone out of the center console, and did alot of damage to the steering column and almost ripped the turn signal lever completely off. No damage to the exterior, except the passenger-side door handle is really loose now. Feels like it's going to come off in your hand when you open the door.

On the positive side, they left my tools and everything else in the back, and they were worth alot more than my cell phone. They also didn't manage to completely steal the car, so that's another good thing. The police have already done a report but they don't expect to come up with any suspects, and the insurance won't cover anything really, since the damage is less than the deductable.

Just another crappy day to add to the list. Ugh Evil or Very Mad

Ya, sorry to hear that Kelly. I too know how it feels getting your car broken into and almost stolen. I found out who did it and was going to go beat the Shi% out of him but he was arrested for theft, possesion, and assault. Hope things work out for you gettin it fixed.

Did it happen in your driveway? That happened to me. Bastards.

How come you had your bill of sale in there? And who would steal registration info? Make sure you keep your house locked, they might be after that next.

Sucks dude.

[stan voice] Thats f*cked up right there! [/stan voice]

Be thankful that whoever it was was an amature. As soon as I get the RS running again, I'm installing an ignition kill switch in a hidden location. Hopefully I won't get a defective switch like the one Lance used in 'Hugger'. Sad

Thanks for the support guys. I drove it to work and back, and it seems to run/steer OK. I'm going to need a new plastic cover for the steering column but the column & ignition seem untouched. I'll also have to replace the turn signal pod it looks like, unless I figure out what the problem is and it's not that serious. Maybe it just needs re-attached.

I'm very thankful for VATS now, lol. The police said they don't have much hope of catching anyone for it, unless they catch him doing it to another car and he confesses to doing my car too.

I don't have a driveway, it was right across the street where I can see it from my window at all times. I have never heard of anyone stealing the paperwork for a car, but they sure as hell did. I don't know why I had the bill of sale in there, just never took it out, I guess. They took EVERYTHING out of the center console, even the CC flyers and the paperclip I had bent so I could get the codes from the ASDL.

Aaron, you left like 2 feet between the curb and your car, and people drive up this street like they are Mario Andretti, lmao.

As soon as I can afford it, I guess I better get an alarm on it. Rolling Eyes

They had ample opportunity to steal my 14 year old factory cassette deck, I can't imagine why they didn't! It's probably worth at least 28 cents, jeez!

That sucks to hear. Theres not really much you can do to stop petty crime these days. An alarm will help you from someone stealing the car but as for a smash and run type crime there not of much help. I personally try not to leave anything in my car besides the insurance papers which, may I add are just photocopies with my address blanked out. I'm also currently looking into the grant removeable steering wheel just so it's that much harder to take. Probably overkill, but then again I don't have VATS Rolling Eyes

Damn, that sucks man. Sorry to hear they trashed everything, but, as least you still have your car! Shocked

Thats one of the good things about living in Langolia.. don't have to worry about little POS thieves.
