    Your car stolen right in front of you house, PRICELESS…anyone got a 9mm, hahahaha.


     


    So heres the story.  I get home Thursday night around 11:30pm and I’m parked right in front of my house in Elk Grove.  I take care of a few things and was up till around 2-2:30am before I went to bed.  At 6:50am this morning my family discovered my car was missing.  WTF?  Imma kill those @(#*#@!.  Anyways, filed a police report and took care of a lot of insurance phone calls and what not.  Talk to a neighbor who checks the newpaper on her front door everyone morning at 4am which means my car was nabbed around 3am or so just right after I had gone to bed.  My thinking is they were waiting for me to sleep before they went to steal it.  Anyways, to make the story short, I’ll pretty much never see her again.  A car like that is a huge target for getting completely stripped and ripped apart.  There will be no trace of her period.  Cars like Integras, Civics and what not are stolen, stripped of seats, intereior, motor, tail lights, headlights, wheels, hoods, bumpers you name it.  CHOP SHOP BABY.  Its like my car vanished into thin air because there was no broken glass or mechanisms left behind from the scene of the crime.  These guys knew what they were doing and knew what they wanted.  How they did, I have only a few ideas. (1) hydrolic lift, (2) tow truck (3) really good ass bastards who know how to disable a alarm system from the outside without setting it off.  Stupid freaking ground wire prob, not sure.  Anyways, yah she is gone and will be forever missed.  So sad it had to end this way, she was my first car I purchased with all my savings and what not.  RIP.

  • London bombings toll rises to 37

    A series of bomb attacks on London’s transport network has killed more than 30 people and injured about 700 others.

    Three explosions on the Underground left 35 dead and two more died in a blast on a double-decker bus.

    UK Prime Minister Tony Blair promised the “most intense police and security service action to make sure we bring those responsible to justice”.

    An Islamist website has posted a statement – purportedly from al-Qaeda – claiming it was behind the attacks.

    Mr Blair, who has returned to London from the G8 summit, condemned the terrorists and paid tribute to the stoicism and resilience of the people of London.

    “They are trying to use the slaughter of innocent people to cow us, to frighten us out of doing the things that we want to do,” he said in a televised statement from Downing Street.
