I agree with you. If I ever catch anyone trying to steal from someone.....they better watch the f@$k out. We put a lot of hard work in so we can purchase items we like, and some dirtbag goes and steals it. Such BS.
Hope you recover some of your items.

Man that pisses me off to hear. I've been thinking about getting one of those proximity sensor alarms where it sends a signal to a pager on your keychain. That way you might be able to catch the bastards.

it's good that you installed an alarm but they are not realy a deterrent when it comes to someone realy wanting to get your stuff. The best thing is have good insurance. At least it will help in replacing some or all that was stolen.

I would report if I were you. Not only that, would also setup a bait and monitor. It's likely the thief will return since the first time it was so easy.
It's likely some crackhead teen whose parents are too busy or lazy to take care of and is addicted to meth o something else and needs to buy more of it.
Get the bandit and sue the parents.

Haven't had any of my vehicles broken into but I did have a 32" flatscreen LCD get taken right out my apartment window while i was sleeping one night!! Nothing I hate worse than a damn thief. We work hard for our money and some low life looser steals shit so they can get their next "fix" wouldn't we all just love to catch one of them in the act!

Hey,

thanks for all the heads up and responses. I gave up looking on Craigslist. Had more important life issues to take care of but it was a good lesson for me: Never leave the tools you love and worked hard for inside of your jeep no matter if you live in a safe community or not...

Sorry for your loss. To play devils advocate.... I'm sure the person who stole your stuff REALLY needed that hit of crack or bag of heroin. Maybe you can sleep easy knowing you helped a scum bag keep up with the scumbag reputation....

Maybe that bag of heroin was really rat poison and Karma stepped in helped the guy OD and now the world is free of another crack head thief... Ok bs tangent over.

Thanks guys. I've since replaced all the tools neccesary.

So go buy yourself a cheap tool box....like you went out and replaced the tools that got stolen. Then go buy an inexpensive cheaply made lock to put on it. Something that's easy to break open.

Now throw something heavy inside the tool box, to give it some weight. Fill the bottom of that tool box with Black Gun power. Rig up an igniter that sparks when you pull it apart by a string....those cheap fireworks are good for this. Duct tape the firework to the bottom of the tool box right next to the gun power and make the string just long so you can tape it to the top lid, when it is barely open.

They'll steal the entire tool box. Since you got the cheap lock on it, that should deter them enough from opening it inside your Jeep, to see what's in it.....but not enough to keep them out, where they'll be able to bust the lock when they get the tool box home. They'll then open the tool box and get a nice flash in their face when all the black gun power ignites.

Now go look for the kid in your neighborhood who has no eyebrows and get your original tools back from him.
Lol. Sounds like fun!
