Yeah, after my dads car had its window broken, we put an alarm on it, and keep mine inside the garage. This was not the only time something has happened, just a fwe weeks ago, someone backed up into my dads car or something did, and broke the taillight, and the plastic casing for the licence plate.

So from then on, I purchased a 5megapixel security camera. Works nicely, but needs tuning/a better lens.

Maybe these punks think the Yaris was easiest to break into and know that it doesn't usually have an alarm? The Yaris isn't a high theft vehicle so I think it's in hopes of finding a hidden valuable like a portable nav unit or iPod. That's my guess.

Stereotyping has nothing to do with race but can be done by race......

Hey Bob, this post is a joke right?

"Punks" is just a general term to describe law-breaking idiots in this case. Although it may have various other interpretations as well. Hell, it's also a type of music.

Unless you're a punk, hence why you're offended?

Can you explain?

hatchbackkid82 · 04-13-2009, 11:04 AM

Sorry to hear about your car

Bob_VT · 04-14-2009, 08:07 AM

Punk is a subculture. You were not attacked get over it.

Why don't you guys just open another thread to discuss that without taking away the REAL meaning of this thread?????

SIPNGAS · 04-14-2009, 05:20 PM

Well, I received some good news when I called my insurance company today...

my comprehensive deductible was already at zero but while I had them on the phone, I had my collision deductible changed from 500 to 50 and it raised my rates only about 10 dollars per month. I'll change that back soon, but for right now, it's the better option for me.

So, by next week I should be getting my little car all fixed up...again. :D

i think the EX did it.....

You're not the first to say that. Several of my friends here have suggested it, too....

I hope not. Really. But I can't rule it out, either.

I doubt that I'd ever get mad enough or dumb enough to damage another person's car, but I wouldn't waste my time trying to break into a car hoping that I could find a toy to take away from that person, even though there are no visible toys...if I was mad I'd knife a tire or two, or three, and do a complete walkaround keying of the car; much more damage in under 30 seconds.

So true. It just seems funny because this is the second time something like this has happend to my car since he left. No other cars in the parking lot were tampered with...either time.

Sometimes I think it's just bad luck. For a longest time my house was the only one I noticed that was getting repeatedly egged, papered, mustard-n-fruitlooped, mailbox knocked down...after about the 10th time I finally just ripped the mailbox out of the ground and got a PO Box.

He is probably the most likely suspect, but hopefully it was just some kids being bad and it won't happen again.
