If I Could Be a Criminal For a Day...

I promised some details about yesterday's car theft, and here they come.

First off, it was more than likely stolen by kids, since the driver and passenger seats were up about as far as they could go. The mirrors were also tilted about as far down as humanly possible. The theives had time to change the radio station to Kiss...something my car was rarely (if ever) subjected to. With all this being said, it was nice to see that the seat back was cranked back so that the "South Side Lean" was in full effect.

As for what was stolen...this just gets funnier and funnier by the moment.

Some CD's were stolen, no big deal since most of them were burned. Note that the Prince "Musicology" CD and the Elton John "Greatest Hits" CD were spared.

There was a silver dollar and a random quarter in the center console...just for the heck of it. Both of these were swiped, but the change drawer (though it only had about $3-4 in it) was also spared.

In the back seat was a box with paperwork (sign-up forms, schedules, physical forms, etc) for my swimming team...gone! Maybe they will try out for the team, especially since the thieves found a use for a set of girls swimming suits that were on loan from Walter's Swim in Brookfield.

The trunk just keeps baffling me. As I have stated before, my golf clubs were NOT taken. It is a set of Ping Eye II irons as well as a set of Ping ISI Titanium Woods, a Ping Zing 2 Lob Wedge, and a Scotty Cameron putter. The estimated retail value of these clubs is well over $1,000 and could have ben sold on e-bay for plenty!

Here is what was stolen. My mom's air matress and inflator (sorry...should have given it back weeks ago!), a cooler filled with water and Gatorade (one Gatorade was found in the back seat!), a Nike Golf shoe bag...but not the shoes, a Pick 'n Save bag with a bunch of small bags of sunflower seeds, a winter car kit (had things you might need if you got stuck somewhere in the winter), and a couple of fold-up lawn chairs.

Also spared from the trunk were by baseball cleats, my golf shoes, and a couple of random blankets, as well as my winter snow brush (why couldn't that get taken...I need a new one!)

Now that I think about it, I believe they stole my jumper cables...which are definitely more valuable and worthwile than a set of silly golf clubs!
