Did Boney have the night off?
Comment by Tyger Katt — 5 September 2008 #
dude, I’ve seen your car. those people surely need new contacts…
uh. sorry.

Why didn’t he succeed? Did he give up half way through? Did you surprise him? Did he find those half eaten sandwiches you keep under the seat?

Dude you are SO lucky he didn’t manage to steal your car because he would definitely have crashed it – what with driving drunk and trying to make a fast getaway. I mean, I’ve also seen your car and the man must surely have been drunk and as for a fast getaway……

They once stole my Dad’s old old old Mazda 323 … drove it one block and then ditched it without taking anyting.
Apparently it was even too shit for them.
My Mum was highly embarrassed – even thiefs didn’t want my Dad’s car.

katt: Boney’s in semi-retirement. He took a package.
betenoir: Yeah? Nobody’s seen your car. Ahahahahahaha! *snort* Uh. Sorry.
dolce: It was probably all the people pointing and laughing that drove him off.
charmskool: Et tu, Charmskool?
rustum: Not me. I would have pegged him as more of the Kilimanjaro type.
beaverboosh: Ignis aurum probat, miseria fortes viros.
miss M: I specifically bought this car because I didn’t think anyone would want to steal it.
daisy: Could be, but the pointing and laughing explanation still seems the most likely one to me.

What’s that line from Ferris Bullers’s Day Off?
“I have to admire your piece of shit because I don’t even have a piece of shit.”
Some car is better than no car?

Excuse me didja just diss my Atos? Or were you questioning my loyalty? You better hope it was the latter. I am most fond of my little ‘lectric blue baby. And at least it was built in the last decade…..As for my loyalty – it’s to you not your car. I pretend I don’t know your car Kyk.

Maybe there was something in the ash trays they wanted???

Property theft crimes make my blood boil. The police are so cavalier about it: “It’s just stuff. No one got hurt.”
Yeah, well, I’m trading my life to work a job to pay for that stuff so, in essence, the thieves are stealing my life.
I’d say it warrants the death penalty.

For some reason in Cape Town they always seem to go for the shittiest cars. They stole my boyfriend’s Jetta, and then wisely dumped it. Is it not just some kind of gang initiation?

If it were me I’d let them be gone with it. I’d be driving a Bugatti Veyron now courtesy of the Jacob Zuma school of insurance assessing.

I liked your Latin phrase, “Ignis aurum probat . . .”
It’s very true that adversity is a test. Check me out at http://asad123.wordpress.com. My latest post is a poem about the holy month of Ramadan.

I had my parked car rammed by a stolen car once. everything looked normal from the front but when I went to get in it the back half was sort of gone….

You have a car??? Dude. I thought you only ran to mopeds. You are moving up in the world – even if it’s not that far, if some of the comments are to be believed

Once I forgot where I parked in the movie parking lot, and I thought someone stole my car. I called my husband and he said, “Face it Robin. No one in their right mind would steal your car. Keep looking.”
Comment by robinaltman — 6 September 2008 #
i laughed at robinaltman’s comment.
at least they didn’t steal your wheels.
kak transport is better than footing it.

hmm…easy to solve the car theft problem if you drive what i drove in high school: the dodge imaginary. yep…my parents figured if i didn’t have a car it a. couldn’t be stolen, and b. i couldn’t get into trouble. i proved them wrong on point b…but that’s another story for another day.

Don’t you take that poisonally?
Comment by old horsetail snake — 8 September 2008 #
uncle keith: Could be. I sometimes keep small change there.
rob: A compelling argument, although I think a harsher punishment would be forcing the thief to wash my car.
po: How embarassing.
spencer: I’ll deactivate the immobiliser, shall I?
asad: You do know that I’m an atheist, don’t you?
nursemyra: Ouch. Turned your car into a Ford Concertina, did it?
parenthesis: You might regard this as a crisis of faith.
robin: I thought the same thing about mine. I’d be worried if I was you.
thrills: Yes, well it would be if it wasn’t sitting at the sodding assessment centre while the insurance cretins try to figure out who has timeshare on the braincell this week.
curlywurlygurly: One out of two is pretty average.
ol’ hoss: I take everything personally.
Comment by kyknoord — 8 September 2008 #
ouch, and ouch again..
I think perhaps next time just torch the car and then claim arsen.. tough crowd you got here..
hahahahahah.. so I am dying to know.. what you drive and do you have pics?
Comment by B — 8 September 2008 #
maybe this is a sign!
maybe spruce the car up a bit so they can finish the job for you, you know… maybe a little fur on the dash?… it really does go a long way… and those knobly steering wheel covers, that’s a winner
Comment by Stef — 8 September 2008 #
LOL @ Stef – why not add some some big furry dice while you’re at it
Comment by Parenthesis — 8 September 2008 #
b: Very tough crowd. Since you asked so nicely, this will give you an idea.
stef: I do have fur on the dash. Mould.
parenthesis: Fancy yourself as the next Xzibit, do you?
