Ugh.. my car was broken into

I hope they at least sprained their wrist and/or got some glass in their skin for doing that to you!!!

I have absolutely no sympothy for thieves. They disgust me. Perhaps to some, they deserve pity, but to me, they deserve jail time.

I'm sorry you have to clean up their mess, but relieved they didn't get anything of more value.

Make sure you contact Equifax and file a (free) Consumer Statement. You can Google them and contact them that way and it's 100% free, as long as you don't get any extra 'bells and whistles', just a plain, old Consumer Statement. That will prevent anyone applying for credit under your name, it's a great thing to have even if your ID doesn't get stolen.

Thanks for the tip Leslie! I will do that asap!

I've had my car broken into a few times. The last time was the day before Thanksgiving Day two years ago. I had nothing of value in my car except a cell phone, and that was hidden in the charging area of my VW GTI. They took a chunk of cement from the sidewalk, heaved it through my side window (right under the street lamp) and took the cell.

The next thing they did, and I swear it was the same kids (from what was downloaded for the cell, I'm guessing teens), the same year, on Christmas Eve, they slashed my two passenger side tires. Try finding a shop open to get new tires on Christmas Eve. It was horrible. One shop, only one set of tires, and it set me back 800.00. Of course, my car also decides to just stop working that night as well and died on me as I drove to the walk in emergency room to get meds for my bronchitis. That holiday just sucked.

I am with AdoreMyDogs! I have NO sympathy for thieves, people that are TO LAZY to work for what they want and steal it from those who do work. NOTHING is worth a jail record that will follow you the rest of your life. They will get what they have coming, sooner or later.
