My car was rifled through

[Scooter's Mom]

I've been told that people are looking for insurance cards. Don't know why, but that's what a police officer friend of mine told us after my brother's car was rifled through as well.

I've been told that people are looking for insurance cards. Don't know why, but that's what a police officer friend of mine told us after my brother's car was rifled through as well.

I wonder why - since the card would have all the info pertinent to that vehicle, and also the plate registration #.

Sas had a good idea - leave the glove box open and put a sign in the window. The mousetrap idea is a good one too.

I live in a rural area, but still lock mine. They are remote locks and don't freeze tho - just the whole door freezes shut after a snow or freezing rain, since the moisture gets in around the door frame and the door.

Donna - just make sure you don't leave any packages, etc, in plain view. The boxes in the back seat probably caught their eye, too.

Anything in my car would be of no use to them. That is unless they're desperate for canned cat food and a gazillion cat show ribbons in a rubbermaid bin. They didn't steal my insurance card. And yes, I've heard about that.

Next week it's supposed to be really nice out. I might pull up along side the dumpster and start toss stuff. But then again, I haven't cleaned my car out in 11 year so why start now?

We don't lock our doors either, because it just makes people more likely to smash the windows if they want in. Have you thought about getting a car alarm? That'd be pretty funny, imagine the shock they'd get, those things are LOUD.
