What a bad day it was. I went into the gym to workout and someone opened up my truck and took my new Chromebook. The one I just won in Dec from SD. Crying I always lock my doors. But I have no damage to the doors. Did I forget and leave them unlocked? That would be so unlike me. The cop said that it is possible that they were able to jimmy the locks without leaving any damage to the door. Sadwalk

I HATE FARKING THEFTS! Mad

Quote from Piccaboo :
Hubby said a professional who hits gyms like this will use a slim Jim and have the vehicle unlocked in seconds - you'll never see any damage to your car - it simply pops the locks open - the main reason to never keep valuables in your vehicle - heck I don't even keep my GPS in there unless I'm actually using it - otherwise back in the house it goes.
That in itself is very impressive those professional car thieves being able to use snack meat to open up a car. Sure no damage aside from probably the grease tracks and bits of meat. EEK!

Anyone recall the Slim Jim shortage that never was in 2009 from their factory explosion? [cspnet.com]

It disturbed me a bit when I once saw dollar store selling those old car openers. A week later all of the 100+ were sold. I suppose many bought for giggles or in case to help careless friends and family. Yet, I wonder how many are used in crime.

Exactly.

But when you know something, and don't heed -- life whacks you over the head with the lesson until you "get it".

As someone already said -- at least the truck was still there.... and with any luck the lesson won't repeat...

You might want to email google. They probably know who is using it. They probably like to monitor like Microsoft.
