Miserable morning...

Post by hurstshifter »

Just woke up a while ago to find that my car had been broken into. Windows smashed, GPS gone, change tray gone, airbag removed and stolen as well. Mother fuckers.

I live in what I believed to be a fairly nice apartment complex in Dracut, Massachusetts. Fortunately I just found out from the officer that filed my report that they caught the bastards who did it. A bunch of teenagers from quite possibly the worst town in America: Lawrence, Massachusetts. I guess they hit 7 Honda Civics in our complex all of which had the airbags stolen. Apparently undeployed airbags go for a nice $$$ on the street. Oh well, now to find a way into work.

My town is actually a really nice place. The kids who did this came from out of town. And I'm not really familiar with ASBO's so I'm not sure if we have anything of equivalence in the US.

Honda Civics are a prime car to be broken into and have stuff taken. Everybody has one (around here) and thus all our car thieves know how to break into them.

That is one of the strangest things I've heard in a while. Criminals concerned about safety? And is Lawrence worse than Lynn? When I lived there, I actually had a cop ask me "what are you doing here?".

I wonder how long it takes to steal someone's airbag without deploying it... That's messed up. Glad they got caught, but sorry for your loss.

What's going to happen to these little thugs? Are they going to be prosecuted or something?

Oh and an ASBO is what of the kids in the Essex area of East London get, where I live. If you break an ASBO you can get up to five years in prison.

Lynn, Lynn the city of sin. You never come out the way you went in. :)

Lynn is probably worse than Lawrence you're right. But not by much.

I have a problem with that "city of sin" rhyme; it almost glorifies it, like it's fucking Vegas or something, when really, it's just a shithole. :lol:

And for what it's worth, both Paterson and Newark NJ are a million times worse than anything in New England.
