Just ask me and Jenn B. Last night, between 11:30 and midninght, one or two people broke into my car and almost stole it. My brother's online radio show was going on at the time, and two of his DJ friends went out for a smoke. They said they were kinda noisy, and all of a sudden they heard two car doors slam shut and saw a car speed up the

I'm sorry babe, but at least your car wasn't stolen... My brother's '92 Ford Taurus was stolen a couple years ago. They had tried to steal my grandfather's Expedition, but had no luck, so they went after the Taurus. And apparantly they arrived to my house in a stolen mini-van. :(

Yeah, the important thing is that the car is still here. You just never really think that'll happen to you. It's a bummer.

Hey Manda- so sorry about the car- at least they weren't able to successfully steal it. I know some people from UMD on a board I post on and two of them mentioned their cars being broken into within the past week or so. Be really really careful!!

Yeah, I'm really glad they didn't actually get away with the car. And apparently there were cars broken into all over College Park. But I think mine was a bit different cuz they wanted the car, not the stuff inside. They had opened the center console, and didn't even touch my cds, they just threw it aside. I'll definitely be more aware when I go to park now. I've even started parking my rental in front of the house, so I can see it from my window.
