Last month, my car was stolen from the block in front of my apartment; it showed up the next day with $200 of parking tickets and a giant hole in the dashboard where my stereo used to be. I had just moved to a place without a garage and wasn't accustomed to pulling the faceplate off my stereo, so hey lesson learned right? Right.
So last weekend, Sparky and I finally got the new kick-ass stereo installed, which I totally love. I've also gotten in the habit of removing the faceplate every time, taking it with me (not leaving it in the glove box, for example), and using The Club so they can't drive off with my car.
Thus, this morning, I find my car with the passenger window smashed and the glove box contents on the floor. So what's the lesson here?
- Yes, it's a good idea to take the faceplate, since if I hadn't my new stereo would be gone again.
- Should I just leave the doors unlocked and still use the club? At least that way they won't break the windows when they rifle through my car? I'm not sure if I want bums sleeping in my car though.
- I could afford a fuckload of taxis and rental cars (and a sweet bike) for the amount it's costing me to park on the street.
