BUFFALOKIE Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Attention holiday shoppers: Do not forget to lock your car doors while shopping.... I just did, and came back to an empty car. $200 worth of vintage L.P. records, and a few other gifts for my teenage daughter. My Carhart coat, Oakley prescription sunglasses, pair of shoes, and my disc golf discs (those hurt the most). My New Era Buffalo Bills hat (LOL - I'm in Tulsa - sure that scumbag is a big Bills fan). A bottle of cologne, phone charger, first aid kit, Leatherman multi tool, and two packs of Camels. They did leave the donuts that I had just bought, so I got that going for me, which is nice. Merry Christmas y'all! Be safe out there! Edited December 16, 2017 by BUFFALOKIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas all one friend parked his rusted out mess at an infamous mall in Toronto to drop off presents to his in-laws, 15 minutes later he returned and found they had taken his passenger side tires with the car up on blocks.

The thong is, I wasnt even in a big parking lot. My car was clearly visible to anyone looking out the solid glass storefront of three different busy stores. A fairly new shopping center in a "good" part of town, yet none of the shops have surveillance cameras in the parking lot. Unbellievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said: "Which I just did" to: "Don't forget to lock your car doors..." I took that for meaning that you didn't forget to lock your car doors. Again... Why I found it strange they picked on your vehicle. Oh well, live and learn. 28 minutes ago, BUFFALOKIE said: I left the doors unlocked. Dumb. The thong is, I wasnt even in a big parking lot.

Good part of town is where all the good stuff is! They (people) probably saw them open door and act like they owned the car. Just saying. I guess if you rob something, make it look like you own it.

row_33 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I did audit work for a few months at a large mall and had a picture window looking onto the parking lot from my desk The youth of the city would constantly stream through the lot and try every car door hoping to find it unlocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Sorry you got burned. As row-33 stated, it’s very common activity. We’ve had a lot of this “easy opportunity” stuff in our area lately. You have to be careful! A lady near us drove in and left her garage door open with her keys in the car, then immediately went to walk her dogs. A white Mercedes went by a little too fast....followed be HER car. Don’t be lazy or sloppy and your odds improve. As I have learned, they steal nice cars to troll nice neighborhoods so they don’t stick out. I have my guard dog Golden Retriever to lick them to death if they get near us! GRRRRR! Edited December 17, 2017 by Augie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
