I'll be damned if somebody didn't try to break into my car

Silly them. They didn't know I'm a night owl and would hear the alarm.They were gone by the time I got to the parking lot. The police got here very quickly. I didn't call 911 I called the non-emergency number but they stopped by within 15 minutes.

I think I'm on my 5th break in. I'm like you a night owl, one time I went to get in my car at 2AM and I found someone sitting in it getting high.


Hope they didn't break anything.

Haha. I'm about 5'7 and 140 pounds so I'm not scaring anyone. I never locked the doors because I had the windows broken out previously.

Low violent crime rate huge property crime rate. Generally I don't bother calling the cops unless there is damage done and a I need to file a report to my insurance company. Meth makes people do stupid shit. There was an instance here where they cut the catalytic converters off 4 cars in the parking lot.

Just glad to hear that everything turned out alright. Guess there are some advantages to staying up late at night.
