Message to the Thief (2 pics)

well, the guy was practically asking to be robbed. it happened, but not the way he expected.

I'm pretty sure the operative noun is "asshole". I don't believe it requires more than one person to break a car window... And if you're stupid enough to leave your junk in plain view, then maybe you learned yourself a life lesson, nerd.

Foolish to leave anything that might even look valuable in your car...Even more so to do that and leave the door unlocked! So now that person has a broken window. Shows that the college student has a LOT to learn!

UUUUHHH deep message

At least he's got some sense of humor .

Dumbasses!!!!

Thieves are generally opportunists anyway. God forbid they should actually TRY the door.

One smashed the side window of a hatchback here a few years ago the discover that the FILA box on the back seat only contained the owners old, whiff-of-death trainers. Saddest fact there was the car was essentially empty and visibly unlocked, as both door locks had failed and the owner was about to scrap it.

They broke into one of our cars to steal the stereo, which I had bolted the back of onto the heater housing underneath. They ended up only getting away with a small pack of tissues to mop up the blood where they cut themselves breaking in, having failed to remove the wing-nut (yes, a WING_NUT!!!) to get the stereo out.

Har-de-har!!

So the driver left all that stuff in an unlocked van? Who is the real idiot here?

Wankers, both the robbers and the robbed...

he's bitter but should be happy it wasn't worse

The thief will come back to read the message?

what a fucked up world where we blame a man who got robbed for having his belongings in his vehicle.

I almost always respect Jimmy's posts...but I think you are really a bit off the mark.....this guy gets robbed and you almost sound glad that he did. It was a lesson he probably needed to learn but if he is guilty of anything it is being a bit too trusting in his fellow man by leaving such items in his van.

hahaha..!!!

This is what is wrong with our society today. Degenerates break into a mans car, and people give him crap for leaving his own belongings in the car! Get off your mom's computer and get a job!

@Ty Webb - Leaving your valuables in plain sight in an "unlocked" vehicle as the letter would suggest smacks of b/s. This guy was looking for someone to steal his crap, so his house insurance (dorm living is always suspect to theft) would pay for a new laptop... 8 year old laptop with Windows 2000 in college, but he has gps? Are you serious? He needed the combined value of the ipod, gps and textbooks (from a previous semester) to make up the difference in dollar value.

That's how I see it. Jimmy Johnson CSI.

was he expecting the robber to go back and read the message?

jimmy... jimmy... jimmy...he left the stuff in the car so that someone would steal it , so he can collect insurance , but then when they dont, he is soo pissed, that he writes a note to the foolish thieves, pointing out their idiotic mistake...
yeaaah ...I dont buy it csi guy.
what happened is this guy was most likely in a hurry, left his stuff in there and some asswipe, loser, with parents that never taught him shit...broke the window after he noticed the 'puter on the seat...and took off.
As it turns out ..this guy is prob. more pissed about the window, than anything else, had the thief noticed the door unlocked, he would have gone inside and prob. found all the valuable stuff. Window may cost him 120 bucks..and some inconvenience..but that is it. lesson learned.

It's much easier to leave nothing valuable in your car and just leave the doors unlocked. If they want to get in, they're going to get in.

unless you live in an area with homeless around like say ...Hollywood ..and you get in your car in the morning , only to find some bum fell asleep in your brand new car in the back seat ..and pissed himself..and the seat.. .
