Well, I have to say, if engaged in illegality, it's always best to be on the supply side, not the demand side. Until you get caught, in which case being a supplier of purloined and illegal goods-- not so fun.

Although, if they ever actually arrested someone in Tucson for vape Theft, I believe I might die of shock.

The newest crop of mattress salesmen and used cars with predatory loan offers shows themselves! (Unless they are in jail).

Wait, they didn't take the 8 Track, right? Phew!
I'm old enough to have owned a Kraco DashMaster 10 which I mounted in my 69 Malibu. It drove a pair of Mindblower speakers that had one 10x amplifier each. 100 Watts per channel RMS.

From six blocks away...



That system got stolen, too.

Car windows smashed out and stuff stolen from car is so prevalent around here that a lot of cars parked on the streets have signs in the window saying please don't break window as there is nothing of value left in the car.

Have seen even some of those with busted out windows.

I feel your pain cowboy. We had a thief break into our house and he stole my car and a bunch of other stuff. Never got back my two Super T 18500's with special edition AOE Prometey atties. Perfect travel set ups. I got the car back and now I keep my vape stuff in a mini messenger bag.

I have said before, we don't have near as many home invasions/burglaries around here as some areas do. Too many home intruders get shot and most homes don't have anything worth dying for in them.

Speaking of, I keep meaning to get this for my yard:

There is a sure solution for not having to pay out of pocket for a broken window and stolen gear. FULL GLASS Coverage and NEVER LEAVE valuables in your car in plain sight. Breaking a Window and a snatch and run is faster then the alarm going off but then again they must open the door!

I'm bummin with ya. Really, really, really hate getting stuff ripped off. I could loose it, give it to the .......s, whatever, but getting it stolen just fries me. I had a bike broken into once. They busted both latches on the trunk, dug through a few hundred dollars worth of leathers and stole a Ray Ban case with a pair of five dollar glasses in it. I could still strangle the fools. Next time around it was my shed. They got a Jonsereds saw that time. Loved that saw. Was my father's. Ok, I gotta quit thinkin about it. Blow out a blood vessel or something.

    If someone tried to Jack my mod like that, I would probably have absently removed that small piece of Lint off His Nose with my Fist.

    It is a thing now. I never leave my vapes ANYWHERE I totally keep them in my purse at all times, or on my person in some way (like hand, and it's nice that a provari makes for a nice weapon/club) because around here, things will get stolen if they aren't nailed down. Fortunately our little community in S. Tucson actually does well, I never fear for my house, because our neighborhood is gun happy (the main place to target practice seems to be the huge wash we have). The nicer neighborhood up the road where we used to live got all the home invasions.... People knew they were mostly unarmed and had the stuff.... Thats exactly my argument for gun ownership Stols......armed citizens

    I have visited Texas and I approve. :) That's all I have to say about gun ownership and theft or other crimes.

    Yep, thieves aren't dumb, usually have a plan if caught "I swear, I thought it was mine!" for example, but they also are quite often more willing to approach in areas in which the valuables are high, and the security.... Is anything other than a gun/dog.

    We had our dog trained to be pleasant to people who entered by the side door, and very loud when entering either the front or back door. I NEED ANOTHER DOG!!! I really really want one, but it's such a bad time financially and not knowing yet if I will be returning to full time work so I can't justify it, but I don't drive anywhere near the shelter because I am weak willed and want to pick out my new puppy SO MUCH.

    That's why I don't bother locking the doors.
    If they're going to smash the windows any way, why bother?
    It's not like they're going to steal a 20 year old mini van.
