Terrible Day

cort · 03-04-2010, 06:49 PM

Well to make a long story short, someone broke into my truck today and stole all my tools, cd's and my Ipod. The cd's were all burnt copies so whatever and the ipod, well I have another one but the tools are a killer. I am a electrician and I need my tools to do my job. They just jammed a screwdriver or something like it in the keyhole and popped it right open. I am so ****in pissed right now.

Sorry to hear that buddy.

boo to the thieves

03-04-2010, 06:50 PM

That sucks man. Sorry to hear it.

Commander Quan · 03-04-2010, 06:51 PM

People like this suck. This has happened to me twice in the last year so I know how you feel.

kelmac07 · 03-04-2010, 06:55 PM

Sorry to hear Gary.

gettysburgfreak · 03-04-2010, 06:58 PM

sorry to hear that man, you and me both had shitty luck with cars today

shilala · 03-04-2010, 06:58 PM

That's gonna piss you off, Gare-bear. Sorry, brother.
Shake it off and go buy some more tools. If you stay pissed, the terrorists win. Plus you'll be miserable. Bad enough they stole your tools, don't let them steal your happiness.

You should be a therapist Scott. That's why I posted this, because I knew my brothers would know how to make me feel better. The tools are definitely replaceable but it's gonna be pricey. I will have to start with the essentials and just start all over collecting bits and pieces here and there.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

massphatness · 03-04-2010, 07:04 PM

Azzwipes! That sucks, Gary.

Insurance should hook you up?

I got my tools stolen out of my car parked at the hospital on Christmas Day about 15 years ago while visiting my Mother and I am still pissed off about it. No Good MF'n dopehead thieves....... But Shilala has the best advice.

cort · 03-04-2010, 07:06 PM

I called and left a message with my insurance peeps but they probably wont call me till tomorrow.

Smokin Gator · 03-04-2010, 07:08 PM

Yup. It's such a terrible feeling. I know it's not the end of the world but Damn it still pisses me off. It was almost certainly dopehead bastards!

Sorry To Hear This, Gary.

Reminds Me Of A Time "Many Years Ago", When, As A Poor Student, Someone Stole The Battery Out Of My Car. I Slept In The Car All Nite After I Bought A New Battery Several Days Later, Just Waiting For Them To Come Back. Of Course, I Only Hurt Myself, As They Never Showed Up.

Grab Yourself A Good Stick & Beverage & Try To Forget About It, My Friend.

Thanks guys. A drink and cigar are in my near future

Sorry to hear that, Gary.

Let me know if there is anything I can do - even if it's just a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen.

Gary, stake out Craigslist for tools that may match yours.
If you see something that is suspicious, contact the local lawman.

Its a stretch, but I have had friends recover automotive tools this way.

Also, if you have the time, peek in the local pawn shops and notify them if you see something that is yours. In most cases they are bound by law to surrender stolen goods.

Check local pawn shops. They are required to get ID so you can have the thieves busted if you find the tools.
