Send those thieves to Joe Horn's house in Pasadena.

He knows what to do with them.

Damn!! You've been having a little bad luck with thievin' bastards lately. How did they get the door open by yanking the handle out? Did the alarm not go off? Just curious, because I know I've been over confident about the security of my new Caddy (leaving stuff laying out, etc.).

Sorry to hear about the bad luck!

I hope they pawn it. I used to be a pawnbroker years ago. Everything that goes through there gets run through a police database. If it pops up, you get it back and whoever pawns it gets busted. People used to always come back and complain that we ratted them out. Its the law.

Sorry about your bad luck. Glad they didn't do more damage to the Escalade.

I feel your pain. I had my Tahoe broken into twice when I was working out at the 24 hour Fitness club on Post Oak in the Galleria area (high rent district). Both times they stole my briefcase containing my work laptop. Two laptops with years of work, both gone. I also had 2 cars stolen and 2 separate car break ins. Needless to say, I moved away from Houston and haven't had a bit of crime during my 4 years living in Victoria (knock on wood).

It will be on the 14th "This Friday" 2002 when my competition system got stolen out of my old camaro at Baybrook Mall. They got my head unit and my amps in less than 10 minutes. It took me hours to hook it all up and bolt everything down. I even dropped the tank and had lag bolts but I guess they had crowbars.

I have f'n thieves!

I feel your pain. I was up that way on a Sunday picking a motor up and stopped at the James Coney Island and 1960 and 45. In broad daylight while I was inside that took my apline in-dash dvd player. But they were nice enough to unplug everything but left the brain. Plus the cop didnt even get out of his car.

Default I Hate Thieves

I think the police departments should be taking tally of areas, shopping malls, restaurants, etc. that have had car break ins and robberies and pay just one person that is armed to the teeth to watch and shoot theives on spot. Get the message across and make an example out of somebody. Its ridiculous that we cannot not worry when our families are out doing something as harmless as Christmas shoppin or eating at restraunts without somebody pulling a gun on em or breaking into our cars. Hell I'd be willing to sit in a couple of parking lots .
