Never "stolen from" - my car has been "added to." I found a large rock in the driver's seat one night I left it unlocked by mistake. A prankster perhaps?

The all-time cheesiest car incident is when someone bashed out my sister's tail light and left a tray of leftover nacho cheese and chips in the opening. When the repairs don't meet the insurance deductable, you have to keep a sense of humor, I guess.

This was my unlocked car theft story. It has previoulsy appeared in our rants and raves.

Boo to sketchy car-prowlers. Every once in a while people forget to lock their car. It is a lapse in judgment, not an invitation to steal coinage. Sure, I got off lucky because I don’t keep anything of value in my car, but I hate the fact that someone was in my driveway going through my car. OK, you got all of $2.79 from my change holder, I hope the police catch you in the act someday; and you end up with a several hundred dollar ticket and a record for taking such a stupid chance. Respect your neighbors. And by neighbors I mean everyone.
