Some #!@$$%@# lowlife(s) found it necessary to break into my car. Which costs me time, frustration and money.

Just wanted to blow off some steam, hope it will help. Carry on.

Nothing worse than coming out and seeing that, sorry.  Hopefully they didn't get anything that can't be replaced by insurance.

Sorry to hear.  Had that happen to me once when ex-wifey and me went for a movie.  She smartly left her purse in the car and somebody saw her keeping it and they bust the glass for that.  Luckily didn't take anything else, but it was a pain to get the glass fixed and had to drive only to where the car was safe for a few days.

What did they get anyway

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Tour 900 golf ball

They didn't get anything. My guess is they went for the build in navigation. In the previous model of the Mercedes C that's inside the glove compartment. I drive the 2015 model and in there it's somewhere far away they can' reach. So nothing stolen, but a busted window, mess, glass everywhere (all over the baby's chair) and little damage to bodywork and leather because of the glass. Nice start of the weekend.

That sucks! When I lived in the Bay Area car break in's were starting to become an epidemic and a number of friends had their cars broken into.

This is really bad. Some people have no concept of what they are doing to others.

Wow. That's awful. I had my Grand Jeep Cherokee busted into. They tried to steal it by using the trick where you jam one side of a pair of scissors into ignition to turn it over. Fortunately they used cheap metal scissors and the metal twisted and broke. 

What upset me most was police call:

me: someone broke into my car can you send someone out.  Police: are they currently there?  Me: no they must have tried in the middle of the night.  Police: we don't send anyone out unless the crime is being committed  you can come down and file a report  me: how? I just told you they jammed scissors in the ignition to try and turn it over and steal it!!

No idea, I live in Utrecht. Boxed in by 3 highways though, less than an hour to Belgium and Germany. Apparently there's a market for airbags, steering wheels etc. mostly in Eastern-Europe so that's where it's probably going to now. Quite frustrating.

I've been to Utrecht, nice place, at least it was 30 years ago.  Good luck.

Need a better alarm system, maybe one with proximity detection so that if they get close to your car, it goes off.

That would suck wouldn't it?  Every time a passer by walked by your car it goes off?  

 

I wonder if there is an alarm system that will beep directly to smart phone to let you know something is going on?

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
