Vanessa and I got back to my place around 12330hrs after spending the entire day moving her into her new place. She got in the shower around midnight. I was in bed for about 2.5hrs when I heard an alarm. You know, that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach when it's going on 3am and you know that's your alarm? Yup.
Grabbed a shirt, keys, hat and sandals on my way to the door to investigate. Cancelled alarm on my way out the door. Rearmed, but only got one chirp instead of the usual two. Tried again. A car drove by... Tried again. Tried again. Dome light was on.
Upon closer examination of the car, it looked like the passenger door was left unlocked (perhaps by a tired girlfriend), but when I went over to that side, the lock cylinder was about an inch inside the handle. I tried unlocking with the key. It still worked. I tried unlocking with the old 1G key, it also worked. I tried unlocking with my fucking house key. Yup. It worked too.
Now, the faceplate was off the radio, there is no shifter boot, and the trim panels on either side of the console are gone. You can plainly see there is no system to steal in this car - only an oil pressure gauge next to the shifter.
Fuckers tried to take my baby.
Vanessa and I stood out there going over everything twice, trying to get a game plan for the night. A car rounded the buildings about 50yds down and sat with his headlights on, pointing our way. There was no one else in the parking lot. There were no empty parking spaces. They then drove right past us in a silver, Kia Spectra or Hyundai Accent with temp tags on it. There was only the driver in the car, so I dunno, but there was no reason for this car to be acting like it did. It did not come by again, and it's not parked anywhere in the area now.
Of course, I unloaded all my tools, which I might have used to pull the door panel and disable that door handle/lock, at the new house in the garage this afternoon...
We grabbed the keys to my brother's Sentra, and Vanessa followed me to the new house, where Daisy is now sleeping securely, in a garage. Thank God I was helping run4cvr yank his tranny the morning the neighbors across the street stopped by to ask if he knew anyone looking for a house. Had I not been there, I would not have this garage, now 15 miles away, where I would know Daisy is safe from low life, dirtbag, dog fucking bastards.
My alarm was $140 off eBay. azdave helped me install it. GET AN ALARM ON YOUR DSM.
