I've had my stereo flogged in front of my house. Cops didn't do a thing. Had fingerprints on a lighter. s.o.b's.
My oldmans house got broken into, stole a shitload of stuff including some of my tools. The neighbor saw it, got the car make and rego and gave it to me. Went to the cops and they didn't do a thing.
Used to carry a wooden baseball bat. It split. Now i carry a metal one. I'm waiting for someone to piss me off or do something to my car.
