I hate crooks.

My bronco got busted into last night. They stuck a screw driver into the back of the door and pryed the glass untill it shattered, leaving a nice crease in the door.
They ripped out my cdplayer and broke the woodgrain dash bezel doing it.
And to top it off, they stole my black snap-on leather work gloves right off the top of my dash.

These bandits hit about 5 or 6 other cars around the neabrohood.
To my luck tho, they did'nt see the 800 bucks worth of tools in the back.

I hate having open windows in winter, it's cold.

sorry to hear about your misfortune, I know how it feels.

they missed your tools?

count your blessings, depending on what kind of cd player you had, and the amount of damage to the rig, it's cheaper than if the found the tools too.

as for it being cold, try driving without a window up here in MN we had -10 f the last couple of nights!

I hope they catch the *******s.......

That sucks, sorry to hear about that. My truck got broken into a while back, and lots of money was stolen.

Oh how I wish I could of been there to teach them a lesson, they'd think twice before stealing from me

I feel your pain, my truck was broken into about a month ago, two weeks after my old car alarm went out they got my radio and a few other small things. they broke the vent window. It was 130 bucks to replace. I am getting a nice new car alarm on sunday, then I am getting a proximity sensor when i get some more money

its not the stealing that bothers me. its the fact that they're cowards. if they walked right up to me in the middle of the day and said, "i'm gonna steal your crap." that would be one thing. they have to sneak around and steal because they're embarassed that they've reached rock bottom. the reason they didn't take your tools is because they didn't know what they were. they've never worked a hard day in their life lol. i'd hop on ebay and look for some replacement parts.

Isn't that one of the states that you can openly carry a sidearm?

this would explain the lack of crooks, true gun control is not pointing it at anything you dont want to destroy.

Yea, when I get some money, I'll have to start ooking on e-bay for bezels. I have replaced the glass with the one out of my 83 bronco door, it just isent tinted, like my 82 windows are. It was a pain to use the shop vac and get all that glass out of the bottom of the door.
Now I find my self singing to myself cause of a lack of radio.

Thanks for the replys guys, So far I'm parking my bronco in the back yard inside the fence, just to make myself feel better.

I still haven't figured out a good way to get the glass out of the door. My Bronco was broken into three times and there's still glass in there that I can't get out.
