I had the battery out of my car stolen one night. The theif left about $50 in change in the center arm rest, along with tons of CDs. It was the middle of summer, and they did it right in front of a martial arts school.
In August of 2004 we parked our old car a chevy, at West Edmonton Mall. We came back no more then 10 minutes later to a cleaned out car. We are pretty sure someone tried to steal it too, but couldn't drive stick. The car had moved about a foot forwards, the equivalent of popping the clutch on that car. They stole insurance papers out of the glove box, sweaty gym clothes, my climbing equipment, and school textbooks. The next morning they did come to our apartment and try to get in around 10am. I scared them off and they were never seen again. UofA Campus police were a million times more helpful then the city of Edmonton officers were. City of Edmonton wouldn't even let us fill out a police report, asked us to come back on Monday, as this happened on a Friday afternoon.
