Someone came in the back door of my fly shop today and stole my jacket. In
the pocket was the keys to my car so they stole that too.

The CHP told me that our report number was 1777 which is how many cars that
were reported stolen today. I wonder, was that in Sacramento County or in
California?

Be careful out there..................

Bill,

So sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will get it back and
still in the same condition. Just curious, is the back door
an alternate entrance or one that you didn't feel you needed
to lock?

A new twist to stealing cars, well, ok, I don't know anything
about stealing cars, but this was a new one on me. A friend at
a pool hall I occasionally go to had left his keys on a counter
by the tables (not at the bar). Not realizing that he had done
this, he wasn't aware they disappeared. As he went to his car
at the end of the evening, he noticed that he didn't have his
keys and next noticed his car was gone. Since most new(er)
cars have the alarm/lock/unlock setup on the keychain, this
person only needed to grab his keys, walk outside and press the
unlock button and the car would announce which one it was.

Hi Jim,

We did not lock the back door so the UPS driver could get in easily but that
will all change now.

My wife asked how did they know which car was ours? Well as you said they
all have the alarm/lock push button system so it was very easy.

Lucky I have another car.

Sorry to hear that, Bill. I had one stolen in 1967, driven about 2 miles,
and the keys left above the visor. No damage done and I got the vehicle back
in less than 48 hrs. Still, you feel violated and very ****ed. The feeling
wanes but that's when I started leaning to the right.

You know the old saying... Liberals are really just conservatives who

The old saying is wrong on both counts.

No they aren't.

Bill, sorry to hear this. If it's not recovered in good condition, I hope your
insurance company treats you right.

A friend had his truck stolen a couple of weeks ago. Car wash attendent stole
his garage door opener out of the truck, copied the address from his
registration, and then got the truck right out of his garage a couple of days
later. It was recovered within a few days, but the thieves had trashed it in
every way possible, short of setting it afire. He had over $20,000 invested in
customization; a beautiful vehicle, destroyed.
