Maybe i hadnt locked it last night i thought, got in to find all my glove box stuff thrown from one end of the car to the other. I DEFINATELY DIDNT DO THAT.
My subwoofer and amplifier, custom enclosure, cd wallet, 3 usb sticks and a phone charger were taken in the the wee hours of the morning.
Scum buckets have to take what others earn. I worked hard for those material goods, and i am dissapointed they are gone, not angry (i have no where constructive to aim my anger).
I am also sure that karma will sucker punch them in the balls.
Yet another reason i want to move west.....

Sucks to hear dude. I too know that feeling:( did they damage anything taking the amp and sub out?

Actually, clean cut the wires so no major damage, stuffed the lock barrel on passengers door.
At least I still have a car....

I extended my arm out of my window and waved my pinky at him. ;)

I see that all the time (several times a week), the frustration for me is the unneccesary risk that sort of action creates for everyone else on the road.
A few months ago I had to brake to avoid a collision with an idiot that squesed into moving traffic rather than wait for a break in traffic at a light change. I was run up the back of and the car spent 8 weeks in the shop, I had to get physio for whiplash all because I stopped to avoid an accident.

the middle aged woman who ran into me, probably had her car written off and was also charged with Negligent driving (her reaction time and her cars, was just too slow) and the jerk that caused it, just dissapeared into traffic.

Good thing I've got more than 1 PC (I don't like running it with the potential of overheating :o), another $20 I have to throw at that damn thing. :rolleyes::(

Walked around the front of my car and noticed a bit of a scuff on the bumper.

Turns out it is more than a scuff.

There is a black mark from about 10cm ffrom the license plate, that points the way to a series of larger scuff on the corner, to the point where the plastic has buckled on the bumper and cracked.

Some ass-hat has gone and probably cocked up their corner taking, scraped my car and kept on going, rubbong the crap outta my bumper. FFS. Of course they just pissed off. Must have happened yesterday while I was at work.

My car is looking so beaten up ATM coz stupid people who can't drive keep on opening their doors into it and scuffing the bumpers. It makes me so mad, I understand why gunmen go nuts crazy in the US.:mad:

The number of YOTS Omega Supreme's on eBay AU at the moment asking for $150+ is quite infuriating, scalpers need to burn. :mad:

That's what they were selling for before they came out here. I think the international market on these is pretty high at the moment.

I'm of two minds if I want to get one for myself yet. I like it but I don't love it, and I would have to re-organise my cabinet and remove prime figures just to fit him in.

It annoys me most when you see figures that are currently on store shelves being listed on eBay, but with substantially inflated prices...

You're right though, never look at currently available stock on eBay, it will only make you mad. :o:p

I'm in a similar situation but I'm factoring both the cost & the fact that I already own the mold (Albeit the original), the space to house him would be the biggest pain in the proverbial though. :o

I got Fort Max, opened him, got him out, transformed him, left him on the coffee table for a day and put him back in his box and up in the cubboard in the study. there just isn't room for him anywhere else. I don't know if I want to do that with another $100, especially when I WILL be getting generations metroplex at some point. and MP soundwave and MP acid storm.

also, I just went to my local big W at lunch and it looks like they are cleaned out. the stand where they were the other day is full of Barbie stuff now.

that makes the decision easier.
