The driver's side window ratchet is worn, so it neither rolls up nor down. I have to do it manually. I've had a shim in between the window and the weather stripping (inside) for a year, so it doesn't vibrate down more than 3/4" as I'm driving.
He pushed it down and crawled in, and rummaged through the "glove department" but there was nothing in there except vehicle related papers, some handi-wipes and some lemonade single serving packets that I keep for the days when I don't want just plain water.
The radio/cassette hasn't worked in maybe six years, and I don't even keep change in the ash tray. I had jug of oil behind the seat, as well as a jack and a dozen bunji cords, but the only things I would have missed were my frog "navigator" and the small boom box I had left in there by mistake.
My neighbor caught him before he could take that. The cops were here in maybe five minutes, which is good, but since nothing was taken, they couldn't do anything.
I've seen the guy here, sometimes in the early mornings, and didn't like the looks of him. When my neighbor described him to the 911 operator, I knew immediately who it was.
Wow, I'm glad you didn't lose anything - and he didn't even break your window, since it didn't work anyway!
Typical. Breaking and entering is the crime, not the pilfering of stuff once you get inside. Better if I don't get started, though.
Maybe you'll be protected now. He knows you have nothing to steal, as long as you don't leave anything valuable in plain sight.
