Today I saw The Last Samurai. It's a pretty good movie. I definitely recommend it. I decided to watch it in the valley near church because it's cheaper and the crowds are less. Well, that's the last time I'll go there. Upon coming out of the theater, I noticed my brand new car stereo was stolen. Many thoughts come to mind when you realize you've been robbed. The first one was that I'm in the wrong car cuz why would anyone want to steal my radio? The second thought was a little more rational, I've been robbed? The third thought was, how was I robbed? It was definitely the work of a pro. There was no physical damage done to the car itself and I was positive the doors were locked. There are only a couple scratches on the dash that are hardly noticeable from when they ripped it out of my car. I'm thankful nothing else was taken. I had $100 pair of sunglasses in the glove compartment that were still there. It was professional and quick. They wanted only one thing, got it, and left. I can't help but be concerned about how easy it was for them to get in my car. I had one of those removeable face plates, but I only take it off when I park my car for the night. I thought that would be the least secure place. I guess I was wrong. I guess the theater was a good place to steal stereos even though it was in a good area. It was a huge movie theater parking lot. There was no security on duty there. There were no other stores for shopping so people are in the parking lot at specific times. You could see someone park there and know they won't be back for a couple hours. The parking lot is so big that no one from the theater could see anything. So I filed a police report and let my insurance company know. I doubt I'll file a claim though since the deductible is probably more than getting another stereo. At least the speakers I bought weren't stolen as well. So it looks like that's another $120-150 I'm going to be spending. I figure I won't do anything about it until after I get back from Europe. Why risk having it stolen again while my car is sitting in my garage for two weeks? Well, I'm thankful that I still have the car and the loss was minimal. This could have been alot worse. I'm still annoyed though. Argh.
