Grand Theft Auto

It sucks to have your car stolen – not only because it leaves you carless but because of the hassle you have to go through to get it back (if you get it back). What’s even worse is having two cars stolen… in a one-week period.

Meet a Ypsilanti, Michigan couple, who had two cars stolen within a one-week period. First, thieves made of with the husband’s car outside a gas station on Oct. 8. He reportedly left the car running with the keys inside (never ever do that). His keys had his wife’s car key on the ring, which gave the thieves a chance to come back the following week and drive away with the wife’s car between Monday night and Tuesday morning.

The police said that they have recovered the wife’s car later that Tuesday, but are still looking for her husband’s vehicle.

    This is a good lesson why you should put the least number of keys in the keychain. Another advise is to NOT leave the vehicle registration and insurance in the vehicle. Make copies and keep in your person. That way, a thief makes off with your vehicle does not know where you leave.

    Oh, another advise for those with NAVI in the vehicle who program the HOME feature. do NOT enter your home address. Instead put down the nearest intersections as HOME.
