hammerforged Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Thieves! Went for my physical therapy session this afternoon, very public parking lot on a very busy street, 3:00 pm with an LEO running a radar gun less than 50 yards up the street in clear view of my truck. Came out to find the driver window on my truck shattered and my GPS, DSLR that my wife got me for our anniversary last year, and my range finder gone! DSLR and range finder were in the storage compartment under the back seat! Asked the LEO if he saw anything, he said he hadn't noticed anything to raise his suspicions, checked his dash cam and sure enough it caught the act but picture wasn't clear enough to see anything to help identify him. I am so mad right now I can't sleep for thinking about it. I thought when I got out of the truck I needed to disconnect the GPS and put it out of sight, it has a windshield mount, but I figured it is broad daylight with an LEO right up the street, so No Worries right? Any way, thanks for letting me vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bug House Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Yea...that really stinks. "Petty" theft just infuriates me. Sorry that happened to you. I suspect no chance of insurance coverage for that sort of thing, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Unreal, Ross! To think that the perp had the cajones to do this in broad daylight with a cop on the street. Nothing seems to stop the scum. Then the cop don't see anything? They just caught three guys here who were breaking into cars with GPS units as their targets. They appear to be a hot item for these crooks. I hope they catch the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pruts Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Sorry to hear Bud. A guy I work with was parked in a public lot downtown at a busy corner this week and some jerk cut the catalytic converter out of his Jeep Cherokee. In broad day light too. Some people just suck!

hammerforged Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Thanks everyone - I don't fault the LEO, I know he was paying attention to his radar. People tend to race along that stretch and it was a hot day so he had his air conditioning going, between that and the radio chatter I'm sure he didn't hear the window being broken. But his dash cam did catch the act and maybe something will come of it. Insurance will replace the broken window but that is all. Had it happened at home then my homeowner's would have covered some of the loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
