Sucks man! It sounds like you need to take the pit bull with you and leave him in the truck with the windows cracked while you are in the store. I'll bet nobody breaks in then!

you'd be surprised.

Dad: "It's f**king amazing that the newest of our 3 vehicles doesn't have a damn alarm on it."

we're fixing that the same day as the door handle, and getting a spare switch for the lid as well.

meanwhile, i have to be up at 6:30 and it's currently 3 AM. in my sweats, window cracked open (used an old reed actuator magnet to keep the alarm armed the easy way), pocket knife in one pocket, phone in front of me, sledge hammer on the floor next to me.

*macaulay culkin voice*here theivie theivie theivie.....*macaulay culkin voice*

I'm sure i can call 911 left handed and chunk a sledge at a running mexican meth-head into his back.

I just wish we hadn't of sold the BB gun and shot gun before we moved. Maybe i should get my CO2 bottle refilled and keep some paintballs in the freezer?

"Yes officer, it's the mexican meth-head running north on (whatever) street covered in bruises and pink paint"

sounds like it would be a lot easier to buy a 30-.06 and end a lot of problems at once

that sucks sorry to hear, hopefully you didn't touch the pass door yet, you can call your local police department and they can collect fingerprints for you, maybe whoever did it is in the system

It looked like they used a small prybar and got under the hanlde and broke it off and out. That does suck. Let us know what the insurance company is going to do.

the officer said he didnt see any prints to take- the crook hauled the handle with him and smeared the ones on the paint.
