Someone stole my XM receiver out of my car!

[Guest nickcornaglia]

Left my car unlocked. They left everything. Just slipped the radio off of the cup-mount. Didnt take the antenna, nor the charger/fm transmitter. Amateurs!

I deactivated it immediately when I found out. So it's not even any use to them.

Ball Breakin' Kids.

Now do I replace the receiver or switch over to Sirius?

Hope they get caught.

How do you catch a kid. Once they realized they cant use it...they probably smashed it or trashed it.

I know it's kids because where I park, there is no reason to be there in a position to see that I have the radio in the car....except when the kids are hanging out waiting for the schoolbus.

They're probably laughing as I walk by.

I never did that kind of stuff as a child or teen.

I blame rap music!

Here is a funny story. The family who lives in the condo above me has a teen cousin who is staying with them.

This morning as I was leaving for work, the police were talking to the mother, who had her car stolen...crashed...airbag deployed...and parked right back in the same spot.

The son was there looking very nervous.

The policeman asked me as I passed if I had seen anything last night and also confided in me that he believed the kid had something to do with it or knew something he wasnt saying.

This is the same police officer I reported my xm radio being missing to.

I went to work and came home and he was there talking to the woman again. I went to take out the garbage and he happened to be leaving. I asked, "did you figure it out". He said "of course!". It turned out to be the nephew staying over and he was going into the police station in the morning.

I reminded him about the XM radio being stolen and told him my suspicion was with the kids.

About 10 minutes later, he knocks on my door telling me that he told the kid...if they tell him who stole the radio, he would mention it in court that they came clean about that. They have not admitted guilt yet, but I'll bet they do.

Anyway....I bought the same XM radio on ebay today for $16. Brand new in the package! It cost $100 last Christmas.

The End????
