You aren't kidding it majorly sucks. I was pretty blase about being broken
into - I leave nothing of value in the car, the stereo is a removable face
model and I carry the faceplate with me, and there was literally _nothing_
which could have been sold for money.
I'm still out almost $400 for a new window. :-( And I suspect it would
have been more had someone who lives near where I was parked not sprung
the little......individuals who did it, and chased 'em off.
The moral of this story is - doesn't matter what you leave in the car -
don't risk it. Park in a parking station -e specially around UTS and
Ultimo. The $10 or $12 could save you a whole lot more.
