Truck almost Stolen!
PostPosted: Mon Nov 17, 2003 10:05 am
Well, I got ready this morning and went out to get in the truck that my Mom's boyfriend is letting me use (easier/cheaper than selling it to me, etc). The back windows where open, and when I got up to it I saw that someone had tried to steal the truck!
The dumb thing is that I've had my other car in the back for a year, and before that it's been parked both front and back of the house with it unlocked and the windows down already (though it is a piece of junk), and for the last 9 months I've had the chip truck I've been driving parked back there, it too has been left open and nothing was ever stolen out of it.
I've only had the truck for a week (since last monday).
Whoever did it wasn't a pro at it, in fact they I don't think they knew what they where doing... they smashed up the stearing column real bad, but never messed with any of the wiring to hotwire it. My personal opinion is that it must have been kids with a lack of morals and too much TV/movie watching under their belt
I didn't post this in the prayer room, it really isn't a request for much of anything (short of it not happening again and it getting fixed quickly).
I can't drive it right now, so I'm going to have to make do with getting around by bus, walking till then. The worst of that is that I'm supposed to be looking for a new job right now (the chip job is gone, and good riddance!
)
Oh, well.... gives me more time the next few days to pester everyone on here
