Recently I had somebody break the chain around the post at my apartment and steal my mountain bike.
About 13 years ago, I had somebody break into my car and steal my CD player car stereo. Only the thing was put in so there wouldn't be any skipping problems, so from what I saw, most of the pieces of the radio were on the outside of the car because they had to really pry it out of there, and in the process the bastards did some damage to my instrument panel in the car. thank God for the car kits you can buy.
In high-school, I knew a guy who had an Alpine stereo in his car and installed under the stereo was some razor blades, so if anybody tried to steal the radio, they'd cut themselves. he also showed me how they could be removed if he ever sold the car. I always wondered if anybody messed with his radio.
In my opinion, the most chicken shit thing to do is rob somebody or steal something out of a car or wherever. Why not have the loser get a job or work his butt off so he can EARN what he/she wants?
I always hope that the thief gets payback in Karma.
