All of the above is just a good reason to spend the 500 bucks on a viper system with ignition kill, and be done with it.

Sorry that you had your stuff messed with =(

I agree on beating them senseless... last year (when I still had my '02) I went in to the commons to check my mail (2 minutes, max) so I left my windows down because it would take longer to put them up than to check my mail. The other thing is, Campus Safety headquarters is in the commons on the other side of 12 large bay windows, so I felt safe (city of 155,000 but a college of only 1800). As I walked into the commons, a pair of kids came walking out and held the door for me, no big. I look in my box, empty. I turn around and walk outside to get back in my Monte and drive off. As I get to the door, what do I see but one of those f***in kids lean over and reach in my driver's side window (presumably) going for my iPod. Needless to say, I took off towards my car (20 feet, maybe) and his friend yelled I was coming and the b@$*@**$ took off running, leaving the iPod behind as he didn't have enough time to grab it. I chased them long enough to realize they hadn't taken anything (empty hands) and went back to my (obviously vulnerable) car. That was the LAST TIME I ever left a window down at all and, had I gotten ahold of that kid, I would probably be in jail right now for battery... minor detail!

As far as the gun discussion goes, that is too political a topic for which there is no right/wrong answer... both sides have their merits and detriments and so, I recommend, we should avoid that debate and leave it for the political arena!
