Worst day reefing ever :(

Mike and I took a trip to Socal yesterday to pick up some stuff for the raffle today and the day got off to a terrible start. We went to meet up with our buddy at 6 a.m. and my car was stolen when we hit the parking lot. I therefore currently just got off a plane after a day of watching the police not care whatsoever and no longer have a car, cell phone, or GPS. Please pay attention to the Florida Group Buy Post for further instructions and bare with me. I am going to update the when and where ASAP...

I'm so sorry to hear that Paul. I hope reefcentral is your cheers place.
Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

Bro! Bummer

I cannot stand theft!!!! People that are too lazy to go out and get their own, steal from those who work hard. What a way to live... We can only hope in the end, tey get back what they put in.




Good luck. If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know bud!

Jim

Just recently bought the car and it was only worth about $4500. Hence the fact I only had liability... Life's a Bit.....

Dang. F'in' horse thieves! If you find 'em, I'll ride posse with ya and tear new ones...

I've had 3 break-ins/thefts in my days and the feeling is the absolute top p***er offer ever! Totally lose your faith in people. My only consolation were my friends during that time.

stupid hairless monkey thieves anyways

I had a car that got stolen twice, lucky me the second time my sister caught the idiot driving my car around two days later. That dirtbag recenlty ended up in jail for another crime and owes me over 7k for restitution. Thats if this scrub ever gets his head of his a** and gets a job. Damn i hate people that steal cars.

You are more than welcome to borrow it till you can get another car, or get yours back.

LMK you have my number..

Wow. Southern California should come with a warning label.

"Your car will be stolen."

My car was stolen three years ago in Riverside county. Police actually told me that I should just forget about it.

At least you have your health.

Merry Christmas.

Hilarious - really ROTFLMAO (if that's how you spell it?).

Seriously though - sorry for your loss. I had mine stolen too once just before thanksgiving a few years back. it turned up on Friday when I was out of town for Thanksgiving and needed to pay about $350 just to get the P.O.S out of storage to prevent another $50/day bill. Turns out the dumb punks ran the battery totally dead with the AC on when it was about 50F outside, and tried like hell to find the CD changer that no longer existed except for the controller which remained on the dash (read- Bait). Bstrds tired to rip the factory stereo out but couldn't get passed the ash tray which they only partially ripped out beyond repair. Further that they smoked while laying down on the floorboard while trying to figure out how to get at the ash tray and left ashes all over the floor. Personally, after a few days of it being stolen I was thinking - let 'em have it. But it turns out I still got burned for the extra $350 plus the damage they did internally. Ended up donating the car a year or two later since it wouldn't pass smog and I didn't want to put any more money into it.

Again, hope things work out for you better than the did for me.
