son of a bitch! i went to c.v.s(pharmacy) to pick up some scripts with the wifey. ok the first thing i do when i go to cvs is pick up a current magazine and go to town on it while she farts around the store, so yesterday was no different, i picked up a copy of muscular development and start on it. i was about 15 minutes into the mag when i felt my pocket's and i said " oh shit wheres my keys"!!! so i scramble back to the magazine rack to see where the heck they could be and nothing. so my next order of buisness was to check the car, well when i went outside to check for keys the ****ing car was not there, my first instinct was i parked somewhere else so i run around the parking lot and nothing, now i start to get adrenalized im thinking damn did i walk here, it was such an odd feeling but i quickly came back to reality and was in full blown panic, i only have liability!!! so i was like holy shit,holy shit, if you ever had a car or motorcycle stolen from you then you know what im talking about... ok now it gets even better im running up and down the street with a cell phone in my hand like a nut case lokking at every red car thats parked with in walking distance, of course my car was no where near there!! so as im walking back towards the store this guy pulls up in a truck and asks me " what happend at the store?" i said my car got stolen, he said "what kind of car was it?) i said a red 2 door bmw 3i8.. he said no shit!!! i just saw a couple peolple ripping sterio eqipment out of the trunk of a bmw just up the road then he described what was in my trunk and i was like thats my car!!! so i get back to store where my girl is telling cops what happend and i come with this dude, he gives the cops a mild description of the erea where the car is, the cops quickly scramble to the scene to find nothing there i like the way they took off just to get my car, they peeled out of that lot like there was a fire or something, five to ten minutes go by and he radios the cop that was with us and says is your car a 2 door with a bmw liscense plate in the front i said HELL YEA. so we hop in the cop car and go right to the scene. im thinking my car is crashed, the clutch is spent, my engine is blown.. i get there to see it in tact minus all my sterio eqioment head unit, amp woofer, box. .steriowise my car was gutted. i was so ****ing happy to see my car i didnt give two shits about the lost eqipment, the body was in tact and the car appears to be driving fine now..
i have a viper alarm with kill switch and the works..how did they steal my car with a high tech alarm you ask? they found the keys that i dropped when i crouched over at the magazine rack.. those sons of bitches took the keys, played with the alarm found the red bimmer and took off with it..
im going back to the store today with a detective to review the store servalance tapes to gat a description of the people invovled.. those people better hope the cops get them before i do.

Did everybody just reach in their pocket to make sure they had their keys?

Sorry about the car man. . .Had a Ford truck stolen from me in HS. . .I know the feeling

That's cool. I am glad you got her back.

I get that "scared-shitless" feeling all the time when I park it in a place that is hard to see it and then come out and don't see it.

When I was down in Florida, I didn't trust having it parked in unfamiliar place and decided to make my own kill switch. I pulled the #18 fuse that works the fuel system. It ain't going anywhere unless they go and check all the fuse slots, or have a flat-bed. Most likely they will just write it off as a kill switch hidden like a mo'fo', and that the car isn't worth the time needed to track it down.

That's cool that the pharmacy will let you check out the surveillance (sp?) tapes. I bet you are gonna laugh your ass off when you find out it's a couple of punks and you run into them again. Did they have cameras that view the parking lot? That would be good to catch a lisence plate and car description.

wow! you got lucky the basterds only wanted the stereo equipment.. hope you get em on tape and find them.

i dont understand how people can do this, what makes you take someone else's car- for all they know, you could have worked 10 years for it.. id make a law saying anyone caught stealing a car or busting into one gets his hands cut off!!! the taliban i think had something like this and they didnt have a problem with stealing.. lol
