I never got anything back. A few years ago, I got into my car to start it up and I noticed all of the things from my glove box were neatly laid out on the passenger's seat. The only thing missing was the iPod that I left in the window mount, which was stupid of me. They somehow broke in without damaging my car, went through everything in a calm and organized fashion, then laid out what they didn't want in the same manner. I felt both violated and appreciative at the same time…

Lol. That reminds me of losing my ash tray (full of change) and one lug nut cover on my F-150. I looked all over the house for the ashtray remembering I took it out a few times. Never found it, and figured the lug nut cover (little hub cap, kind of) just fell off (nearly impossible). Unsolved mystery.

Then, last summer, both my 20 yr. old car and the wife's new Jeep had all the change extracted in the middle of the night. The wife had $30. in hers. My car had the ashtray removed, the new Jeep has no ashtray.

So I'm looking for my obviously missing money and ashtray, and think maybe the wife took it for some strange reason. So I call her to ask and she says, 'did you take the $30. out of my Jeep?'

Turns out a couple kids (probably) go through unlocked vehicles taking entire ashtrays full of change. The cops found 30-40 ashtrays dumped under the local bridge several times. It finally brought closure to what happened to my truck's ashtray a couple yrs. earlier.

A day later, I see a 15-16 yr. old sitting on my driveway wall at 2AM. I ask what he's doing there and he says 'taking a break'. I asked if he's taking a break from stealing ashtrays and he says, 'I'm not part of that'.

I turned on the spot lights and took pictures of him, he immediately ran away and there haven't been any ashtray thefts since.

Ahh the intelligence of future generations. We are bobsledding toward the mean.

My friend got addicted to meth and broke intto my house. His mom told the cops where he was at. They didn't check it out. The only reason they got caught was because they were shooting my guns in a neighborhood the next day and the cops got called for that and saw the guns were stollen. They searched the house and found my birth cert, passport, ss card and title to the car, let the meth heads keep all that stuff only took the rifle and shot gun.

The guys mom told the cops where they moved the rest of my stuff to but the cops couldn't do anything about it so I never got the papers, my pistols or my cash. I got the rifle and shot gun after they sat in evidence for about a year and now I am getting paid restitution.

You won't get your stuff back unless you do it on your own and if you do that, you'll probably get stabbed.

I was robbed by the cops once...does that count? fuckers will turn over everything looking for money which, as you know, you never get back.
I've been robbed by the cops on several occasions.
My brother and I, and various friends used to love to grab 40 ozs., some dank, and a pipe and head down to the lake front at night. It was technically closed, but we'd sit down on the large rocks out of sight and just talk and chill. 3 times in the 7 years we lived there, undercovers would come out of no where, get out, and pull their guns on us. They put us up against the car, and went through our pockets and laid everything on the trunk. "Any sharp objects or needles, gentlemen? If I stick myself I'm gonna kill you..." They would take the 40s, the weed, pipes, and cigarettes, along with the cash in our wallets. "Have a great night, guys. Get the fuck outta here!" I'd rather have been jumped by bangers, at least that way we'd have a chance of keeping some of our shit...
