Yessir, that's a bummer.

Sorry to hear this Mr. Rick Bin. I hope somehow this works out for you.

Only thing worse than a theif is a pedo. However, both deserve the same punishment.
Ohio provides an extra copy of your vehicle registration. One without address to be kept in the vehicle to avoid this exact issue.

sorry to hear this Rick

You aren't having a good run lately.

Better days ahead I'm sure.

Any On Star or anything in the Taco?
Also HD should have parking lot cameras.( if that means anything to PD)

Sux .

Damn that sucks. Hope they find the thieves that stole your stuff.

Sorry for your losses,this completely sucks,and the "security cameras " at the big box stores completely suck too.Had a similar experience several yrs. ago.I guess they just cover the stores liability cause they dont do [bleep] for u and me.Hope ur pup returns and they catch the bastards and u get on a roll in 23.I Would head to the woods for the rest of the yr. and regroup.Or at least reload and spend some time in a blind in the home depot parking lot hunting these f#ucs. Good luck with the rest of this mess.

That sucks man...
That really sucks..

So you made a inadvertent mistake.
Don't blame it all on yourself, it's the scumball thief that did it.
Not you.

Posters have probably already said it.
HD parking lot camera footage???
More than likely the thief parked off site had a partner in that vehicle and the thief was walking the parking lot looking for a score.
Adjacent store or immediate area parking lots might have some footage of that drop off vehicle and be able to tie it in with camera stuff from your neighborhood???

More than likely like others have said.
The azzholes are gonna get away with it all and even if caught .
A slap on the wrist and let back onto the streets being that it is California...

Pretty fuuuuuuked situation all around man......

I feel sympathetic to the guy. It's really some bold theft he became a victim of.

Wouldn't it be a little better if California would make an effort to clean up this crime a little? Yeah I know that thought opens Pandora's Box in more ways than one.

Everywhere I go I find California Refugees fleeing this problem. In my backyard (SE OH) Columbus, West Virginia, Maine, etc. Housing prices in Columbus surged due to Californian demand. So much so it's flushing Columbus buyers down here and locally prices have doubled. I've been outbid on real estate twice this year by Cali buyers clenching fists full of cash.

I guess you can say the crime, corruption and regulation/taxation in CA affects everyone.

Sorry to hear this Ric. Wishing you the best in the future.

Damn shame when a man can't go shopping with his wife a feel confident that they are and their possessions are safe! Hopefully the insurance will compensate you for your losses but you will still be out 2 deductibles. If they are ever caught and identified you could seek restitution the good ole boy way 😉

Don't be too hard on yourself, nothing can undo it. Look at it as a refresher to get back to basics.

That flat sucks.

Up in Tacoma, car thefts have hit an absurd level. Folks just kinda accept it. Crazy.

Good luck. Hope they vehicles get recovered quick.

I'm pretty religious about locking up the car when I go and not leaving valuables in site, however I do have some stuff I'd hate to lose out of site in the car, like the pocket under the arm rest.

To that end, I never go into downtown of our closest major city primarily because of crime. I just don't want to have to deal with the lesser representatives of mankind which collect in large cities.

But I live in a small town in the suburbs, about 98% of which is decent people that mind their business with a very active police force, so I don't really feel compelled to lock stuff up , I just do out of habit. I still don't actively lock the front door of the house to run errands, but the wife is pretty diligent about reminding me.

Even here we aren't devoid of car thefts, an organized group from Cinci was targeting the burb towns.

Luckily our police were on it pretty early and shut them down. 2 teenagers, IIRC, died in a crash while fleeing police.

Sorry to hear that Ric. I admit, I'm not 100% on always locking myself, and while it's a low crime rural area, it's not a "NO" crime area here either. Hope they find the guy(s) early on!

Very sorry about that event, all the best with recovery.

Hope everything gets settled soon.

What are your plans for raising your security level?

Tennessee requires us to keep registration in the vehicle. Just like never leaving a gun in the vehicle unattended, I guess I now need to figure out how to hide that and still satisfy the law.

Hate to hear this, I hate a thief.

Nothing good can come from spending two hours in a Home Depot.

Ever.

Oh that’s an easy one.

Don’t keep it in your vehicle. Everything they need is in the system when they run the tag. If they want to give you a ticket, take the ticket because the cop is a fugking ass hole and was gonna jam you up regardless.

I still do that but I need to change it.

Very sorry for what these parasites have done to you. As said many times above, try not to blame yourself, they're the ones who did it.

It's an unfortunate fact of life that the time that an honest person spends at work to make a living and provide for his family is the same time that these types get to lay around and scheme their little tricks.

Hopefully Karma will catch up with them.

Also, thanks for sharing, so that we can better prepare against the same types of tactics.
