My sh*t got broken into... God damn I am pissed off...
My Z28 got broken into last night.
There was no major damages and no signs of forcible entry, but my hood was open and my doors were unlocked. I always lock my doors (and always give it double check). My center console was emptied out all over the car but my change holder was still full and some was sitting in the bottom of the console 
. My glove box hadnt been opened and there was no sign of messing w/ the steering column. I pop the hatch to check if my 12 disc and cd's are still there, and they are... and then I realize my toolbox is gone... NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Those are the only tools that I have, so that kinda pissed me off. I guess they were in a hurry cuz nothing seemed to be missing other than that. Thank goodness they didnt try to take the car...

That sucks dude! Sorry to hear that.
A few years back that happened to me. Only difference is that I caught the girl in the act and she ran me over with my own car while she was driving off. Long story but I **** you not!
Maybe something scared them away. Someone must have come out and they freaked a took what they could at that moment.

It's kind of a double edged sword how easy or cars are to break into. A broom, rod, or any such object a few feet long and you can unlock a car door in less than 5 seconds therefore no outside damage to the car. I had to do this once when I had my car running and my alarm remote all of a sudden stopped working.
Thieves are scum and should be shot on sight by the way.

I actually do have the stock alarm on it, but yeah I know I am lucky that they just took my tools but no one ever wants their car broken into. Eventually (w/in the next six months) I am planning on getting the 791xv from viper...

before I got my TA, I had a 98 white single cab Sierra, 4'6' drop, 22's shaved, the works. the only night I had left it outside, cause it was late and I was lazy, it got broken into. stole my whole system and busted the passenger side window and the paint got scratched. Now that I have the TA I make my friends pull their car out and I park my car in their garage.

Just pull the window out a bit, push the broom handle down and tap the unlock button or if the alarm shuts that function down you can jimmy the slider.
(Note. I only know how to do this because I've had to break into my own car and friends before. I'm a pretty good problem solver. I hate thieves)
