my car was broken into

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Yesterday morning when I was going to work, I noticed that my gasfiller door was open. I stopped and looked and my gas cap was off too. Someone had put a belgian block by one of the wheels. They didn't get any gas and there was no other damage to my car. Next on my shopping list is a locking gas cap!

How awful ....!!
What is a "belgian block" ?? And why is it called that way ??
(I am Belgian too )

That is the Pittsburgh name for a cobblestone. People here have odd names for things.

Can you just have a lock installed on the gas tank door, or how is it done??

We have thieves around here who are breaking into the vehicles of the people at the old folks' home down the block and stealing their handicap signs and plates and all that kind of stuff. They're cutting off plates and taking registration stickers. It's bizarre.

I really try to keep not too much in my car visible, but sometimes I have crap in the back seat. I just hope no one wants to break into a geeky little economy car!
