Well woke up this morning and went out to my pickup to grab my work cell. Hhmmm, ashes on the drivers seat. I don't smoke. Cell phone gone. Then noticed various things astray throughout the cab. Quickly looked under the tonneau cover and all six saws I just picked up from the shop for repairs were still there. Quick trip to the garage and all twenty of my personal saws are still looked up in place. Nothing seems gone other than a pair of walkie talkies and my work phone. There was a cigarette butt lying beside the driver's door on the driveway.
Sherriff arrives and does report, takes pics, bags butt and tries to retrieve finger prints. Says they may able to get DNA from the butt. My fear it was just kids and they won't be on file. Pretty ballsy to hit me while I'm home. Unfortunately I have a pretty bad head cold and had taken some medicine and was sleeping quite well. Sherriff says a couple other homes were hit as well. Amazing they took the time to slim jim my truck, took a cell phone and walkie talkies, but left the GPS, my satellite radio, laptop and the saws. Even my Oakley sunglasses were left lying on the passenger seat. I keep a check book in the glove box, and my wallet was in the center console. None of it taken. Just how lazy or stupid were these people? For my luck, they were Very much of both. I will for sure change my habits of keeping these in my vehicles.
I grit my teeth everyday when leaving for work hoping not to have to call both the police and my insurance company to report a theft. Hate that they got anything, but both items can be replaced. I always tell the guys at work to be sure they chain their saws and lock them. That by locking them we stop the honest theives. An honest thief won't want to damage your lock. LOL Main reason is to slow them down and hope they either give up or someone stumbles upon them and scares them away. A smart guy would just bust the $100-150 handle of a $600 dollar saw and make the repair and be ahead. But a thief wants the quick sale, and a damaged item is harder to unload.
