Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | So, My Car Was Stolen, and How Is Your Day? Really goooood day over here. So, my car was stolen in the middle of the night from our garage (which was open bc we'd had a cable guy over in the evening to fix our cable, and we never shut the garage, grrr!). Also? Yeah, I had my wallet in my car at the time...so my license, IDs, credit/debit cards, health cards, money, etc etc etc....all gone. SUCH A FUN MORNING OVER HERE. Had to make a billion phone calls to deal with it, have the police come, now have to go rent a car for I don't know how long. I guess after 20 days, they declare your car a total loss...but I want my own car back! To add insult to injury, our PC keeps just powering down all of a sudden on its own, without warning - like 6 times today - ARGH! I think our fan is maybe going bad, but I have no idea! What a day...

| For a lack of better words... this suu...cks! I'm sorry this happen to you, I know how you must feel, this happen to us too but we got our car back 3 weeks later but it smelled so bad I think some homeless person was sleeping in it. Get this, the thief did something to ignition so that another thief could not start/steal the car. Damages was $$$ I hope you have a spare car, insurance coverage and/or eventually get your car back. (((((Hugs)))))

| Oh NO, I am so sorry to hear this. What a major inconvenience and total feeling of being invaded and violated. Grrrr, too bad the watch dogs didn't alert you to bad guys in your garage

| What a mess, it's hard enough trying to figure out what was in your wallet but your car too! I hope the police catch that jerk.

| I am so sorry this happened to you. Can't believe they had the nerve to go into your garage. It must be the times...I mean when I and my siblings lived home...there was no garage, lived on a corner with a Corvette, Trans Am and Formula in the driveway. I sure hope you get your car back safe and sound. Such a shame the way things are going these days.

| I know it sucks to go through everything because of this but you and you family are OK and that is the important thing. The thought of someone being in my garage while I am asleep is very unsettling. I usually don't even lock that door because the garage door is closed. Material objects can always be replaced. |

| I am so sorry for you!!! Just the effort to call all the people canceling cards, bank accounts, .....they are always stealing stuff from people's garages around here, that is why I got those laser alarms! One goes right across the driveway so if anyone walks up my driveway, to either get into the back yard thru the gate, or try to get into the garage, they break the laser beam and the alarm goes off here in the house. I have a couple of yorkies that sleep in the sunroom, and they are ever diligent about hearing ANYTHING in the driveway or at the gate, but OMG!! I dont know what in the world I would do if they took my car!!! Makes you feel soooooooooo violated! |

| Looks like you got a case of the Mondays! (Sorry I couldn't resist. ) I'm so sorry! This sucks! What a nightmare with your wallet being in there too. I never leave my purse or wallet in the car. How can you get a rental if you don't have your ID?

| That really is s*cky.... BUT! Instead of saying how sorry I am for your situation, I'll list positive things! 1. No one got hurt. Not sure if you lock the look that's connected to the garage but those burglars could've tried getting inside. 2. Your furbutts weren't stolen! 3. As pain as it is to replace all the stuff that got stolen, at least it can be replaced. Regarding your pc... is it a desktop? Could be the fan like you said or the RAM, power supply... If you have a old desktop you don't use, try switching out the parts. Have you tried running malware/spyware? |

| Oh, wow Ann that is terrible!....I'm glad they didn't break in the home. I understand how this feels, been there a couple of times. It really makes a person take a closer look at how vulnerable they are in their home and how much more you can do to eliminate some of the vulnerable areas . I have cameras installed here and in another home I had intercoms installed so I could hear things out in the garage. One night we were startled awake when the garage was broken into and the car was pushed half way out. Some people just use baby monitors for this purpose........I hope they find your car soon.
