I went out after dark to get in my Jeep tonight to bring it in to the shop for the rest of my shift and when I tried to put the key in the in the door lock tumbler I noticed there was nothing there. Some little shit popped my door lock out of the door, bent the hole all to shit, got in the Jeep, ripped through all my stuff and took my cell phone. Yup thats all, the cell phone. They could have taken the CD player or the 200w amp bolted to the over head console but no; all that damage for a stupid cell phone that you can get for free when signing a contract with Aliant. And it is useless because the ESN has already been reported stolen and the service has been suspended so they can't even use it.
If I would have caught them, you wouldn't have found the body.

Should have had some fun first and called the phone and if someone answered tell them that the phone had a gps chip installed in it and the police were tracking him down as you were speaking to him  |

This happen at work Mike??
I "usually" dont leave anything in my heep to get ripped. Keep it locked in tuffy box if it needs to be in Jeep!
Leave my doors unlocked cuz it doesnt take much for them to CUT thru ur soft top instead of bein nice criminal and unzippin it for easier access!
That and my tailgate doesnt lock anyway so im SOL anyways!

Wife's cherokee was stolen out of our driveway in Fairview. Recovered 3 days later after the police chased two dudes driving it and they crashed in Spryfield. One guy got away and they caught the other fleeing the scene. All they could charge him with was possession of stolen property because they could not prove he was the one who actually stole it. Went to trial and the case was dismissed because since the guy was not arrested behind the wheel they said he was "no longer in possession" of the cherokee. Our insurance paid.
Several months later my wife was parked on the side of the street outside the family help center in Spryfield she volunteers at. Heard tires screaching looked out the window and watched as a honda skidded out of control and smashed "through" the front and side of the cherokee. As it turns out the dude driving the car was being chased by the cops and the chased dead ended on the front of our jeep. HOWEVER since the actual duration of the chase was too short they could not prove the guy knew he was being chased by the cops. He had no license, insurance, plates so all they could charge him with with traffic violations. He gave a false address to the cops and I watched as the guy and his girlfriend walked down the street laughing carrying a case of beer. Could not find the guy so our insurance paid again.
Both times I was "cautioned" by the police not to "contact" either person as it could be viewed as harrassment and I could be charged.
Know how ya feel.....

The key word in Rico's case is Spryfield! Whenever I work out there we take the excavators home every night. They'd probably steal the dirt if it wasn't like work. There are changes to the law being proposed to increase punishment, about 10 years late i'd say. You know they will not be enough.
I could not be a cop and I respect those who are. To know the little dirtbags that get away with it and laugh, I'd have a real hard time keeping from dishing out some justice.

I don't think longer sentences are the key, I think harder sentences are. Make them dig holes, then fill them back in again for 12 hours a day. "Dig a hole, 1 cubic meter exactly. Now fill it in. Now dig another. I don't care if your shovel is broken, you can get a new one tomorrow. Keep digging." The other 12 hours, they can sit in their cells. No TV, no books, no newspapers, no movies, no gym, no woodshop, no nothing. The one exception would be to allow them to work towards an academic goal such as their highschool equivalency.
I think that if a guy steals a car, and gets 6 moths of the most miserable hard work he has ever experienced or even contemplated, he will be more reluctant to go back that if he gets 15 months in the current jails.

I agree but how do you make them work? It's not like the old days where a whip could be handy, that would be assault! They'd tell the guard where to go and refuse to work. Removing their tv, gym, social time is possible though.

Knock on wood we have never had anything taken from our vehicles/home. I do keep my doors locked in the house at all times also the JEEP/Toyota. Every so often the is a report of many folks in a small area finding their cars rummaged through etc.

Are they like the nocturnal botinists that we have here in Cape Breton?
