I have been pretty lucky when it comes to not having my stuff stolen or cars broken into, but when it does happen to me it happens in the worst way possible.
2 days after getting my 86 corolla painted, getting it all wet sanded and cleaning up the entire car I drove it to BK for some lunch. Parked next to a 90's corolla and went inside. Got my lunch to go and left so it wasnt more than about 10 minutes and the corolla next to me was gone along with the window trim off my car. While they took all the window trim, including the windshield pieces they scratched and gouged all the paint around the trim. I can say I have never been so livid in my life because that was 2k of a paintjob down the hole. Not to mention the trim on those cars are a dime a dozen in good condition. Luckily guy at toyota hooked me up with the last trim pieces in the states .
