Richmond RCMP WARNING: Theft from Motor Vehicle August 19, 2010
 

Heads up, my dad just forwarded this to me from the Richmond RCMP/Richmond Blockwatch Association:

fail?

Nope, it's legit. My dad is a blockwatch captain.

How is that even possible?

Fail X 2?

this often happens alot at the TD bank in front of richmond center..
this happened to my friends mom. a few guys let air out of my frnds mom and offered to help her change her tire when they "noticed that it was leaking air". she left her purse in the car cause she wouldnt change a tire with her purse on right? while one was changing the tire the other took the purse and booked it before actually changing the tire..

Aye. I've seen this scheme a few times over the years as well. Always take your keys with you and lock your car if there's anything of value left in it, no matter if it's for a few seconds or a few hours.

what kind of a guy leaves their wallet on the passenger seat? i can see a woman leaving their purse maybe, but a guy and wallet? really?

wallet with a large amount of cash is literally a pain in the ass.

i'm saying fail as in who cares.. the guy who lost the cash is obviously a moron..

this is hilarious. i can see this happening in a movie but real life? you have got to be joking

thats y there's something called an envelope, and a lockable glove box??

awww my dad is only a fireman.

From what I have observed, it's very easy to open a locked glovebox. Either by force, or by picking the lock.

Kev

who actually lock the glove box on a daily commute?

this was EXACTLY what happen to my mom. fucking thieves. pisses me off everytime I think about it

:rofl::rofl: ah im so immature ;)


Im surprised so many people have been victims of this... it sounds like a Mr. Bean skit parking lot cameras?

lol

your parents/friends shouldnt be so gullible and lock their cars, or at least keep an eye out when stangers are offering help..

i think we're underestimating the fact that the thief could be a ninja.

A pain in the ass to lose. Keep it on your body.

How the hell does one not realize it's surroundings and get robbed like that. Dumbass or something.

I was at the police station two - three weeks ago and an old asian male came in reporting $5000 stolen from his car... he was super upset... he left it in the car or something and ran into the bank to either get more money or deposit some back in then somebody broke his window and took his whole bag...

landsdowne area... richmond ain't safe no more

WTF is a block watch captain, and is it something one should pride themselves on being?

haha, Me. But only when I leave my NDS in there.
But I never feel the glove compartment is safe.
I'm not sure, but if someone has the same car model, his key will be able
to open it?? Glove compartment locks don't seem as advanced as car doors.


I'm surprised this idiot didn't just leave his keys in the car too.
But then again, if he had a flat tire, I guess the thief wouldn't have been able to take off with the car anyway.
