Whats a Belgian block?

That brings the suck somebody tried to drain your tank, at least they didnt just stick a pan underneath and jam a screwdriver in it.

Blue, I'm glad they were too dumb to think of that. I would hate to have to get a new gas tank for a car that has only 9835 miles on it. A belgian block is like a cobblestone (Pittsburgh has some streets paved with cobblestones)

I found my gas door ajar this morning. It has a lock so you need a good tug to open it so I know it wasn't the wind. I have a screen in my tank, so no one can steal my gas

But I think I need to buy a locking gas cap too.. Gas has come way down so I don't know why this is happened...

But a couple weeks ago, 1 car in my row, 2 in the row infront of me & 1 car 2 rows infront of me had their windows smashed

Not sure if anything was stolen. But that made the building repair the fence pretty quickly!!

Sadly thats why I keep trash/junk in my car & haven't repaired the cd player (it hangs out about 3"). I know the area isn't well off, so I know sooner or later cars will be broken into. I just want to help make sure its not mine.

Years ago, I worked 2 jobs for 2 years so I could get another car, saved my money and got it. Then someone broke into it and stole the speakers and tried to get the radio but wasn't able to get it before someone must have come along and scared them off.

I was so mad that I could have killed somebody and I probably would have if I could have gotten my hands on them. I did not work 2 jobs for 2 years to have someone else come along and take what I had worked for! They never did find out who did it, lucky for them. I did put the word out that if I found out who it was, they better be watching their back because I WOULD get them, one way or another and they would be sorry they messed with me!

That was the one and only time I ever wanted revenge.

Thieves will do just about anything, so nothing fazes me. We've had a rash of smash and grabs in CT. The media is telling everyone to lock up your GPS and radar detectors locked up. Thieves look for the "mark" the suction cups leave on the windshield when removed.

That just plain sucks, David. Glad there was no other damage to the car.

My stereo got stolen a couple of weeks ago so I can sympathise! (no damage but COME ON it was a cd player you can get on ebay now for about $20

) Glad there was no damage to your car.
My gas door is imposible to open WITH the key so someone would really have to work to pry it open and I still want to get a locking gas cap. I just can't find an inexpensive one that fits

Sigh...with times being as hard as they are, I'd be still willing to sit outside and wait for the theves so I could just hand them the maybe $15 they could have gotten from pawning my cruddy cd player. I'd get to keep my cd player and they'd be $15 closer to whatever they wanted.
