Thats what happened to me came out and it was gone kids telling me I am dumb as I can't remember where the van was parked.
Turns out it was raining that day and someone needed a ride. They found it the same night a few blocks away.

God Tony, I hope she doesn't have to go through that. Perhaps tonight they'll catch the dude driving around. She didn't have much gas in the car....

Heh... I was trying to have one stolen out of my garage... Just couldn't seem to make it go away...

Then this little elf (erm troll) came along tonight...

Whaddya know - 4runner fits in the back of my FUGLY truck

Nobody will ever steal my truck - nobody would willingly be caught dead in it

If you leave your keys in the car in BC, and get stolen. ICBC does not cover you. I hope in Alberta is differant.

My friend was working in norther BC moving oil rigs. One of his crew members cought a guy in his gradge. So he hit him in the head with a bat and knocked him out. Tried the guy up and through him in the back of his truck, and started to drive to work. The guy came too about 20km off the highway. The guy was screaming don't kill me, but he drove faster and hit very pothole. About 45km off the the highway, he stopped and took the guys jacket and shoes, and throught him the the dich. He told the guy if his place gets broken into he would come back and kill the guy. He got on the radio and told every one not the pick up a guy with no shoes or jacket. It was the middle of september. An hour later my friend drove past the guy, and he was walking the wrong way.

I don't think that guy would break in to anyone house or gradge again.

Break and Enter = bad.
Assault, Unlawful Confinement, Kidnapping, Theft, Uttering Threats = long, long time in jail. Your buddy was lucky he didn't get caught. Usually you have to be a cop in Saskatoon to get away with that sort of thing.

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.

no, no. Matsqui, West Van, lots of places. West Van, you'd get a drive up the mountain and lose your shoes.

Not true, I thought the same thing but when my blazer was stolen after I left the keys in it, I was informed that those acts of stupidity are covered by them... I felt suitably told off

Never had one stolen, but with my old truck someone used to rummage through it on a regular basis. They used to leave the door wide open after they did it. I never locked the doors because there was nothing in it worth the cost of the window that would have gotten broken.

Had mine stolen a couple of months ago... 2000 civic. It was from my underground parking at my condo, managed to get footage of the guy who did it. Except it was to blury to be of any help. Stole the car in under 2 mins from the time he walked up to it! They ended up finding it 5 days later, insurance fixed evertying, I didn't even have to pay the deductible. The car is actually in better condition than it was before!
