I don't post much, but needed to vent...long story short, parked at SL BART to go to work, come back @ 5pm,

- find my passenger window broken into a million pieces all over the place
- my once $1000+ Eclipse AVN5435 DVD/Nav deck stolen (It's an old system, but c'mon!)
- Exterior A-pillar dented in because asshats tried to open the window with what looks like a crow bar and couldn't jimmy the lock, which is why they window ended up breaking the window

Now I have insurance deductible to pay, but I'm more pissed about the A-pillar damage. Windows can be fixed, stereo can be replaced, but that big dent with scratches down to the metal is going to scar =(

frickin' weak!

 

yay bart police helps once again! oh wait..they never do anything

 

they took my report and gave me sincere...sorry

 

sorry to hear that bro. . . i can imagine how your feeling right now. . .

i woke up one night at 330 am to go to work to find my car balancing on bricks with all my wheels gone. . .

 

wake up and smell the coffee...

the cops are not there to be your security guard. they are there to uphold the laws. if they catch someone breaking the law, fine.

otherwise, there'd be thousands of cops doing security guard type jobs all day long and it's a waste of tax payer's money.

[/long day at work rant]

 

I'm always iffy about parking at BART. If I ever need to use it during the daytime, I should just ask someone to drop me off (if I'm THAT lazy) or take the 10-15 minutes to walk there. I live by the Bayfair station. I normally park by Target (yea, not supposed to) just because there's a lot of people driving past that part...and there's no more parking at a certain point after 8:30AM. When I used to commute to the Academy, I'd pack my stereo faceplate (I know, not an option with your Eclipse navi unit) and leave nothing laying around. However, when I got my window broken into for the first time 2 years ago when I used to work off Telegraph in Oakland, even hiding and leaving nothing around still doesn't discourage morons from breaking into your car. It makes you feel as if you might as well just leave the damn doors unlocked.

 

To be honest, Bart police dont do crap any more. They used to have under covers walking the parking lots for this type of thing. But now they just drive around town. I see them all the time at Kaspers by Bayfair Bart.

 

sorry to hear
hope those thieves get caught

 

haha im guessin you havent had a bad experience at bart?

ive had several and most of them are clueless and dont even patrol the bart stations...i usually see bart cops somewhere that isnt bart

 

hmm thats odd. all the bart stations i frequent Bart cops are all over the place.


Sorry you guys have had some bad experiences.


To the OP ^ im sorry your car got broken into. insurance gonna pay anything?

 

When my window got busted out at Union City bart I called UCPD to file a report but they refused to come.

 

my custom mtn bike got stolen from macarthurt bart a few years ago. i was inbetween cars and that was all the transportation I had. bike had already been stolen & recovered once. i was pissed.

 

Edit: this is on 15th and Market area

Yeah, my RS was crystal clean inside...not one straw wrapper or anything...and they pulled my window back...popped the lock and opened the trunk and were off with my point and shoot and RC car

They love frameless doors. I dont mind keeping my car unlocked, since i myslef can silently break into it in 30 seconds...its just that i dont want any crack head to open my door and sleep...or do whatever they do inside my car...

it has already been raped knowing thieves have been in it, but i dont want it raped in the literal sense

 

sorry to hear man..its almost christmas time, so keep your belonging out of sight and be safe everyone

 

yea i dunno why you guys insist on hanging around shady places in the first place.
