Lame Crime

He is - THE CACTUS!
So I just took my headphones off about 10 minutes ago, went to the bathroom, and the dog starts barking.
Nothing unusual, right? Then I heard some clicky-scrapey sounds out in the front and the dog's barking louder...
Flush! I go out the front to see what the hell he's yapping at.

Front passenger door of my car is open, and there's some dude piss bolting it down the drive and off down the street, with a DL sized book in hand.

He'd broken into my car... and stolen my bank deposit book...
Not my cheque book (which is inside), but the bank deposit book that I keep in the glove box.

He's gonna be kinda pissed when he stops and tries to write a cheque for something.
If he comes back, I've got a baseball and a cricket bat waiting next to the desk now.


Anyone else been a victim of really lame crime?
 


Glad that is all he took. Did this happen in broad daylight on a public street? Dumb criminal - redundant redundancy.

Well that's it, isn't it?
I've got a pretty sensible car, so it's not the sort that would get stolen all that often, but there's some pretty good shit IN there.
Some pretty expensive powertools in the boot, my Nikon D200 that has two extra lenses (they're as expensive as the camera!)... Hell, my stereo front plate!
I figure he thought it was a cheque book, which would theoretically be the most valuable thing in the car...

But yeah, public street in a fairly well to do area. Middle of the day though, so I guess they figure everyone's at work.

He overrode the keyless entry I think, because there's no sign of forced entry. Then again, it's not hard to do if you've got something that can cycle through different IR frequencies.
