I went to Brooklyn, and all I got was robbed
No seriously.
I left the poor WRX parked on the street and when I found her in the morning something was awry.
I noticed the door to the gas cap was open as I walked by. Upon closer inspection I noticed the passenger side window was missing. Further inspection led me to the culprit: a large piece of concrete resting on my driver's seat. The reason the gas cap door was popped was because they apparently had to pull every lever they could find to get in the trunk.
List of stolen items:
- Backpack
- Dirty gym clothes
- sneakers
- prescription orthotics (not cheap)
- shirt I wore to work
- assorted anti-histamines (hope they have hay-fever)
- change in center console... <5$... you bastards!
- garage door opener (seriously?!? oh wait...)
- spare key for the 636 (that makes the garage door opener more interesting)
- my sub enclosure + subs + amp (oh you bastards, thats expensive and i built it myself!)
Humorous bits that weren't stolen:
- Starbucks gift card
- Starbucks uber-coupon for any drink on the menu (guess they don't like coffee)
- A few of my CDs were taken from the door pocket and thrown on the floor... guess they don't like good music.
Heres how I look when my stuff gets stolen:
Anyway, suffice to say I got home locked the garage door, unplugged the garage door opener and then locked the door between the house and garage for good measure. I actually use my deadbolt these days too.
two comments:
Not to underestimate the resources of your typical NYC street thug, but unless they got a driver’s license or other ID, wouldn’t they need a pretty good hookup at the DMV to find out where you lived based on your plates or something?
Unless the anti-histamines were in a prescription bottle…

Yeah, sadly I had magazines, my registration and assorted other bits of junk that had my nameaddress on them. I’m not sure if any of that crap is missing.
