why would you leave a backpack with valuables in the front seat? Why not at least throw it in the trunk?

lol wife and 3 kids....traveling. Im not criminal minded, but im thinking if I were, I wouldnt want to steal a backpack with the chance of getting someones dirty underwear. Vehicle is an SUV with windows all around...back was loaded and I was prepared to do some work from my laptop on the 3 hour drive home.

It's karma. I'm sure you deserved it for some reason.

I'm not leaving my computer in my car no matter where I am parked.

Walked inside and the place had been ransacked. Noteably they took my 50" Plasma, laptop, Blu-Ray and the first shotgun my dad bought me 20yrs ago. I'm thinkin' vigilante justice!! Not really, but I am purchasing some bear traps for the back of the house.
sounds like you pawned the stuff to go buy beer, got drunk, and forgot you sold your shit.......

On another note: I did meet this guy on the street that had a sweet 50" plasma for very cheap....it looks good too. He also had a laptop, since I needed one, I bought it too. Its full of clown porn and midget porn....there are also sites bookmarked where teachers and students can hook up.

Im not trying to be a dick, and maybe it comes from city living my whole life. But when I travel I keep my valuables in my backpack and when we get out of the car I take it with me. I even wear it into the gas station if Im alone and no one will be at the car. Just habit I guess. Put the pack at your feet while you eat.

Nah, anyone could tell I was gone since I live alone and have one vehicle. Nobody but the friends I was with would've known I would be out. It was a crime of opportunity. Got a pretty strong lead right now, so we'll see what happens.
