Unhappy Look what I woke up to this morning!

Well i was going to post the pictures of my new rims on here and thank all those that helped me with the process of installing them along with my new suspension but..

Good old Vancouver (well Burnaby actually) scum bags strike again..why did I think otherwise? Real nice..this place is crawling with crack heads, gangsters, criminals, pimps and your basic scum. Those who don't live here don't be fooled by the 'beautiful city' press that comes out of here..

Blech..

Yeah, they actually only unhooked the battery and broke the cover...I guess for the alarm.

Seems they broke into the trunk and used my jack and spare and looks like they brought a jack and 2 spare tires to use. I guess they were really nice guys and wanted to provide me with a couple of spare rims.

It does look like they ran out of time or were interrupted.

Stole a couple of nice things from the trunk too..

Thanks for the condolences..

What a bummer. Fix it back up and put it behind you. I believe the alarm has a separate battery. That "battery cover" is actually the first cabin filter.

dang...that sucks. I hope insurance will cover it. I hate thieves...they should all be castrated with a rusty butter knife.

check craigslist for the next 2wks. they'll probably try to sell them on there.

Wow. Looks like the broke the window, popped the trunk, and used your spare + tools to get the car up + get your wheels off? Why would they try to take the rear plate off?

That's awful - thought those things only happened in South Africa. Hope insurance covers & you can get on with your life.

We need to get this security system and have it armed do detect window breakage. That'll teach those thieving bastages.
