    Van broken into last night

    Should I be more insulted that they broke in, or that they took a pass on all my CDs? Deep Purple Live bootleg, VH, Collin Haye, CSN&Y.......Duran Duran....Concrete Blond.....Sabbath. Really disappointed - I thought I had something in there for everyone! Some of my neighbors weren't as fortunate. I also keep a Mego torso in my glove box in case I am somewhere and need to match color. (You'd be surprised) Still there:-)

    MY old neighbourhood was plagued with these kinds of things. I remember they took my beer but left all my thumb drives and camera cards.

        Surely, they had so much respect for your music collection, they couldn't bear to disturb it.

        Sorry about your van, though.

          Evidently your van thieves have little taste in music! LOL! Sabbath, Purple and CSN&Y is music I would've purloined. Thieves were probably teenagers who have ZERO appreciation of classic music! Still, sorry for whatever they did abscond with.
          sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

            I once had someone break into a car and steal a cheeeeeaaap car stereo and the change I kept in the console, but they left a $100 graphing calculator.

              If it was teenagers, it was more likely they had no idea what CDs were.

                Ive only had my car "broken into" (it was unlocked) once. They took the metal ashtray with about $2.00 in change. It was an Audi A4 so it would probably cost me $60 for another ashtray. I left it as is.
                CD's are hard to fence these days, nobody's buying. Thankfully they'll usually leave them.

                  Years ago cooking for a living to put myself through school, most of kitchen and dish staff I trained were ex-cons, addicts and petty criminals (ala Kitchen Confidential) including one very active car stereo thief. One of the many things I learned during that life experience was that thieves generally have bad taste in music; hence the reason they left your awesome Concrete Blonde CD…*viva la Johnette!

                            Man, that sucks. You didn't​ mention if they damaged your van or not. I sure hope not.

                              You won't believe it...but I saw the one time that it was and couldn't believe it. Truly weird/crazy.
