On Tuesday while I was climbing at the zoo some cowardly hillbilly broke my car window and stole my phone charger and ipod connector. I heard this kind of stuff used to happen in the southern region till somebody scared the thieves off, we need to make that happen at roadside.

This isn't new at Roadside. My wife got her truck broke into there a few years ago. They stole her radio and all her cds.
They also broke into another car that was there and stole their cpu and pb&j sandwiches.

Did you report the break in to police? That is one thing local law enforcement has asked to be done. Roadside is in Wolfe County so you should report the break in to the Wolfe County Sheriff (606) 668-3569.

I would LOVE to catch somebody in the act...... it's just the perfect opportunity to choke someone out.

Did you hear about the student who took a samurai sword for protection confronting a robber?

Don't leave anything valuable in your car and you shouldn't have a problem. Here in NC some people even leave their doors unlocked now to spare their windows from being smashed in. I have even witnessed people leaving notes on their cars, something to the effect of "No valuables in vehicle, doors unlocked, please don't break my windows!". Either that or you could leave a big mean dog in your car while you climb?

They only stole the CPU? That's weird... I mean, the amount of time to unscrew the case, take the fan off, and take the CPU out... they were really risking getting caught.
