8/16    My Acura Integra got stolen the other day, and there was lots
        of stuff in it.  Anything I can do besides file a police report
        and wait?  My insurance covers the car, but not the stuff inside.
        \_ Should've wired up a remote-explode device.
        \_ Are you sure you just didn't forget where you parked?
        \_ Vigilante Justice!
           \_ But he has to find who the culprit is first.
              \_ Nah, just take out every one you see driving an integra.
                 You'll get the guy eventually.  Or at least you'll have
                 fun before going down in a blaze of lead.
        \_ Buy it back from ebay, your friendly online fence
        \_ D'oh that sucks. I only had the two rear tires of my Integra
           stolen.
           \_ They took your tires and left your rims on? Bummer.
              \_ Nope, they took those too. I woke up to find my car on
                 two jacks.
                 \_ I wonder why they left you their jacks and didn't take all
                    the four wheels.  Dumb thieves.
        \_ Start making a list of things you had in the car...esp. that
           new moutain bike you've always wanted.
           \_ not to mention, that titanium powerbook G4 with 1GB of RAM
              that was left on the back seat..
              \_ and a case of freebsd cds!
        \_ The police should set up thief traps. Create situations that just
           scream for something to be stolen...then watch.
           \_ Watch is all they'd be able to do.  Look up "entrapment".
              \_ This is not true.  It's only entrapment if they're
                 trying to trick someone into doing something illegal.
                 Parking a nice car somewhere and watching it is by
                 no means entrapment.
              \_ Look up "sting".
           \_ If they only have that much manpower ......
           \_ I just realized that with GPS systems this would be very viable.
              You don't even need an officer nearby.  Also, setup multiple
              "target cars," then when the car is driven away, the GPS starts
              beeping, dispatch is notified, closest officer pulls them over.
              \_ "loJack"
              \_ similar been on world's police videos #1-4
        \_ That's why I dont keep any important crap in it except my rottweiler
           \_ Man, that's probably the stupidest thing I've seen in weeks.
           \_ Mmm, baked rottweiler..
        \_ If you have home owner insurance, I think some of your stuffs might
           be covered.
           \_ All your Engrish are belong to us.
