Bastards stealing your shit

So pissed Veeky Forums, went out to my car this morning only to find someone had stolen my Yakima basket rack. So pissed right now...

What Veeky Forums related things have you had stolen?

my soul and hapiness

ha, it hasn't hit me that hard, but its still fucked up.

I had a hell of a weekend. Left some tools at the junkyard, lost the key to my bike lock while my gf and I went into a breakfast place. Luckily I only locked the cable cord around the bikes, so I walked down to the hardware store and they let me barrow some bolt cutters. Now this.

Shit man, well at least it's over now. Next weekend will be better i'm pretty sure.

>someone had stolen my Yakima basket rack

Someone's stolen the most valuable part of your car. Oh dear.

Thanks brother, I hope so!

This. I could buy other 240 for the price of replacing the rack...

I'm going to see if there's any hope my insurance might cover it.

someone stole my fender jag stang i bought with all my money when i was an edgy 12 year old

talked to my insurance. No dice...

When I'm off work I'm going to file a police report, then ask the neighbors it was parked in front of if they saw or heard anything; or maybe someone has a camera that might of captured the fuckers.

had my entire Geo Metro stolen

recovered it but lost my audio tape collection and classical guitar

the clutch was also rekt

>someone had stolen my Yakima basket rack
damn OP. thats fucking harsh. I'd be super pissed off too. Is your insurance going to cover it?
I know it might be one of those things where it's not worth it to fuck with insurance, because a small claim like that can just just fuck your insurance sometimes.

That sucks. It could always be worse. I had some pretty expensive tools and my iPod in there. They also left the roof bars with front fairing, 2 of them don't even lock. I'm sure they didn't want to be there longer than they had to be and just took the rack.

I found a guy on CL with the same set up minus the fairing, sent him an email.

>they gave it back because it was a Metro

I just got off the phone with them, no way it'll be covered...
I'm pretty pissed, but there's not much else I can do other than this and work on getting another one but making it a lot harder to take off.

CL post was made a week ago and is 4hrs away so there's no way it could be mine; hopefully I can get a decent deal on it though.

>Dat qt3.14
She can ride my pony, if you know what i mean

too bad. yeah a big part of shit like this that pisses me off is all the time you take of your own personal time to buy this stuff and mount it, tweak it, make it the way you want.
Its like small project that you put a tiny bit of yourself into and it personalized your vehicle to be just the way you want.
then some niggers or meth heads come along and rape & steal your baby

Yeah, its pretty depressing. I've had a fair amount of stuff stolen from me, and it never gets any easier. I hate set backs, but all you can do is overcome them and move on.

what about that user that got his chevy cameo stolen?

Got it back supposedly with very minor damage. No leads on the other items like spare wheels, whatnot.

Some piece of dick stole my off road wheels. Two rims were ruined anyway and all the tires were bad. They probably got 80 bucks In scrap aluminum though

someone stole a 22RE engine from me

that lead to my Celica project going nowhere and being sold

Can really make you feel pretty bitter huh?

My car got stolen by a druggie who was only 16, had 8 previous offenses and was supposed to appear in court that morning.

He ended up crashing into a light pole after police tried pulling him over after I reported a stolen vehicle.

Not stolen but someone loosed my lug nuts. The next day, on the highway i heard rattling in the rear wheels. So I stopped my car and i could unscrew my lug nuts with my hands. Fucking teenage retards.

source?

Since living in a ghetto, I learned to check every crevice of my car before even starting it. If something smells funny, if the lug nuts are loose, if anything looks out of place I inspect it. Between getting my car stolen and vandalized, I'm very close to setting fire to the obamahomes which got built a block away from me.

I think I should buy those anti theft lug nuts.

There was a thread a while back, someone spotted a Chevy of the same color and OP posted in there telling everyone to stop sending porn to his mother on Facebook

Yeah I saw that photo but haven't seen any further updates

>OP posted in there telling everyone to stop sending porn to his mother on Facebook
Good 'ol fucking 4chanbros
topkek

sucks OP, i know that feeling.

>lived in a mostly beaner neighborhood in commifornia
>parked is300 with yakima rack on the street
>motherfucker pried it off my car and caused some damage

sold that car and moved out of that area since, and i now have the rear-mount bike rack that can be removed at ease. fuck thieves.

>itt: retards that can't securely attach something to their car

I'd be putting that bich on so you would have to tear the roof off to get it to move an Inch even. They would not be leaving with a functional rack at the least.

Fuck Yakima, Thule 4 eva
make a police report, call local pawn shops, look on CL, and then complain to your insurance
>good luck with that, you better have full coverage

Hindsight is 20/20. I had the locks for it, but they didn't really fit.

already did half of those. Making a police report when I get home. Thule doesn't seem to make a rack that big.

I keep all my tools and shit in my (850) wagon under a blanket. The other day I came back to my car after leaving walmart and saw some fucker peering through my windows a ways off. Lucky it wasn't in my town since the sidewalks are all loose brick; he'd be in a wheel chair if that was the case.

That sucks user, you've got a nice 240. I don't know how they mount exactly but next time try to super secure it by looping a fuck ton of zip ties through the basket and the rails. That or intentionally deface it by painting a bar a different color or etching a "if found call -" somewhere conspicuous. Forgot to finish my thought here

I've luckily never had to live around minorities enough to have shit stolen. When I'm out with anything valuable in my car (ie. Handguns) I watch it like a fucking hawk.
Wasn't me, but a guy I knew had a good condition, stock 240sx that got stolen one night. When he got it back all the windows were broken, it was full of garbage, the radio was prying out of the dash, etc. It was extremely depressing, fuck Obama's children

They mount at four points to the rails with a clamp and knobs that thread on. I'm really kicking myself for not making it more secure, but I live in a just about the only good neighborhood in Baltimore, but alas, its still Baltimore...

Next one I get I'll be doing a lot more, just sucks because its a major set back in time, effort and money.

They did you a favor

I left my Audi unlocked overnight and the one day I got lazy and left my camera gear in my trunk, some asshole goes around pulling on car handles and got lucky with mine.

Over $2000 in camera gear stolen, but my renter's insurance covered $1800, which is bretty gud :DDDD DD

>Not stolen but someone loosed my lug nuts. The next day, on the highway i heard rattling in the rear wheels. So I stopped my car and i could unscrew my lug nuts with my hands.

"""Why should some successful know it all have something if I can't? """

Filed a police report over the phone. He asked for all the info on my car and nothing descriptive about the rack.

Th-thanks...

Detroit switched to being minority run. Although it has a huge amount of money spent on it through federal and state social welfare programs, most of Detroit is desolate and abandoned.

Muslim immigrants have been moving into the Detroit region though since the land is cheap. Detroit now has the first usa suburb city that is run by a muslim majority city council. The city is successful despite being a part of metro detroit. It's public schools have updated female modesty laws for girls taking physical education classes. The mosques are also allowed by the city council to broadcast their calls to prayer to the city via loudspeakers.

The muslim immigrants are considerably more stable and successful than the american blacks that run Detroit.

LMAO WTF? Who even uses that shit? That shit hasn't been around since the 80s.

>Bought a hardtop for my s2k
>Had it for A WEEK
>It's parked on campus outside my dorms
>Wake up, go to car, gonna go drive get some breakfast, maybe some pussi, b0ss
>Windows are busted and hardtop is gone
>mfw
This happened 3 days before my last exam, if I didn't have that class, I would have already been gone if I didn't have that fucking class.

My buddy's Miata was broken into once while it was parked in the driveway of his house. The thieves cut the top to get into the car. They stole about 2 bucks in change and a burned CD of Appetite for Destruction. A new top was stupidly expensive.

>It's parked on campus outside my dorms
At my university, the campus was basically an oasis of stuff to be stolen by a certain minority group. While it is technically unfair to single out a minority group without evidence, in this case, it was HIGHLY significantly true. That's because there were almost no blacks registered as students. Yet, the campus had quite a few black people wandering around even at night.

The things they looked for were loose things that could be removed from autos and your backpack or wallet with Student ID card. The student ID card has a mag stripe and you can enter certain buildings with it or replace the picture by slicing the card thus be able to flash it as ID to people who don't physically examine the card in their own hands. With that stolen ID, they can move around until it's reported as stolen. So that's why after stealing it, they quickly invade some buildings to see what they can steal by picking door locks for some rooms.

Some have tried to tailgate me into buildings and I've almost come to fights with some saying it was none of my business to keep them out or they pull the racist card. I say, okay, let's get campus police to see if i am racist and I start to call. Only once did the black guy try to grab, but usually they all run off. ZERO of them were students from personal experience when they tailgated me entering a secure area.

Have you ever thought of what the thief actually thinks of you? He probably genuinely thinks of you as a racist, so that justifies him getting revenge (taking your stuff).

Academy City in the anime series ToAru Index had the right idea to restrict access to the campus without being racist with their Trump Wall. Why can't we do that for most parts of the campus?
