Punks broke into my Audi

[Andrew Pawlisz]

Yep, I also had a recent run-in with the low-life element myself, except the
idot smashed the rear quarter window - much harder to replace! He also took my
CD player, which I will not be replacing BTW. Once I fix the window I am
considering installing a blinking LED, steering wheel lock, ignition cut-off
switch, attaching a sign: No radio or valuables, etc. Next time they break in
(which I know that they will) I am getting a beat-up WV.
