No one else was messed with not even the boxter next door.
I did call the police and they made me file a report online.....
Going to call the insurence tomorrow. The leather is a bit damaged from all the rain too.
Also the neighborhood is a high income area and we have never had any issues here.

Laugh all you want. I actually know someone who ended up jacking his neighbor's car while it was parked at a different location. Dumb @$$ didn't read the plates and ended up getting a 400 lb samoan tatoo his face. Then again, this was back in Oahu.

We should all rebel against this by buying seat locks in every one of our cars! If they keep getting away with seat theft, it'll just make them want to do it more because they know how easy it is and how they can get away with it everytime. Sure they'll cut our tops but wouldn't it be a better feeling that atleast they didnt get away with our seats? There's gotta be something we can do.

1) Seattle is a very high theft area.
2) Seat theft has been common since the get go, and even more common once the Civic ricers found out they can use them easily.
3) You're delusional. Even if 99% of people are respectful, that still means 1% are out there fuvking things up. The guys cutting your tops for a quick pay day are in that 1%.
Have a nice day!

WSB - I think Addicted meant the rise was surprising. Of course the vandalism has always been around, and we know why, but it seems like it's accelerated lately... which is harder to explain.
Either way, very sad. I keep telling myself to order locks...

On Saturday I talked with 2 different people within a half hour that both had the unfortunate experience of having their homes robbed. One of the guys even had an ADT home security system that the thieves were able to find a way around. ALL theft is up due to the economic situations.
A cut top and stolen seats sure as hell beats losing everything of value in your house.

BTW, I do expect property crime to increase. It always does during recessions. Which reminds me, I need to move my car so it's not visible from the road.
