There are always people out there looking for a quick buck, as long as they believe its worth something.

Too bad the world we live in will never be peaceful. To us...that means once a in while we have to open our wallets for their bad intentions.

Sorry to hear what happened.

You know I am not exactly even mad at the person that stole it just the fact that people are pushed that far that they resort to such measures. It actually makes me want to donate more money to the poor.

I am feeling a bit better when I think about the fact I am giving my dad this car and if the 09 is good I will get that...

I AM JUST PISSED AS HELL!
Where did you park by any chance? I go to school in Newark and parking decks are no safer than the streets....some idiot even hit my car (posted thread before). And I don't think it's the "poor" factor that people steal - prob more like for drugs and what not.

NUMBER ONE RULE; Never leave ANYTHING in sight! Not even an empty bag. I work in Newark but I have a secured parking spot (by armed Federal Police).

I park in Harrison 2-3 times a week in the parking lot near the Path station, which is right next to Newark, so I know the neighborhood. I had a crappy old chevy corsica in college, and someone even broke the window of this car in Providence to steal couple of CDs lying around. It's just bad luck.

OH man.....I feel for ya!
Exact same thing happed to me in Center City Phila some years back, just after buying a new 4Runner. Never was never able to get all the glass out of the door.

I go through Newark (airport) almost every month. I refuse to drive and leave my car there. I got my company to let me use a limo service...Thank god.

FYI....Make sure to have the dealer fix it, I had some other company fix mine and they just screwed it up..(making a bad situation even worse)..If Insurance is paying, get it done by Lexus.

Yes. Do NOT take the IS.

Newark, NJ is car-theft capital in the U.S.
