Useless guards won't do anything.

Stop leaving your car open.

Your taste in music sucks, but cheers for the snickers.

You could ask them if any suspicious people had been spotted humming and chewing their way around the neighbourhood.

Winters · 21-09-2009 4:05pm

You are fairly lucky it was just your mp3 and not your car. Count yourself lucky the clever dicks who opened your door decided it necessary to educate you in the ways of basic apparatus security and not do any damage.

Sorry to pull this thread off topic but if anyone is looking to buy a mp3 player pm me and I will throw in a bar of chocolate too, im located in Portlaoise.

Sherifu · 21-09-2009 4:07pm

What kind of bar was it OP? I'll do a bit of chocolate profiling for you.

Maconkey · 21-09-2009 4:08pm

What was the bar of choc?

On a serious note, keep an eye on adverts.ie / Buynsell websites. You mite get lucky and get it back.

Sorry to hear anyway.

Technically you're supposed to report all crimes, but if no damage was done to your car then all you'd be after is an incident report to give to your insurer. But as your insurer will refuse to pay out (because you didn't lock the car), there's probably no point.

Whosbetter? · 21-09-2009 4:11pm

Those thieves must have been into Choc 'n Roll music.

I seen a car with it's window open up fully in a car park, it was about 3 in the morning. I was very tempted to rob it, but I didn't. Anyway, I would think it was a opportunist thief rather than a career criminal, since they only took your MP3 and nothing else.

I leave my car open from time to time, it's something I forget if there is a day with lots going on, or I have a lot on my mind. Not a hard thing to do...

shivkk06 · 21-09-2009 4:14pm

im glad ye all find it so funny i guess what i expect posting it on here its great wya irish laugh at other ppls misfortune i wanted a decent opinion not to be made fun of

antodeco · 21-09-2009 4:22pm

Hopefully they dont do what I did. Got an aero bar and it said it came with free music. Plugged it into my USB. Melted chocolate everywhere

Not locking the door might well have saved your window OP, try to see that positive although from my own experience, I know it's bloody infuriating.

Report it and become a statistic

Actually, thats a very good point.

Way up the cost of a smashed window versus the cost of an MP3 player and bit of chocolate..

HAHA, what opinions do you want to hear then? Tell us so we can tell you...

Of all the places you post, you expect an honest opinion, you expect people not to laugh at you? Good one...

If you have to ask the question "should I report this crime" then you already know the answer. If you really gave a sh!t about it, you would have reported it... instead you go on the internet to ask people whom you will probably never meet... Good one

benj · 21-09-2009 4:36pm

if you told the guards that chocolate was taken
you might have a better chance of them looking for it

I rang the gards first thing n they said to call in after work and report it as i have to be there in person but talking to ppl during the day most are saying no point as it was my fault thats why i posted it here to try get some opinions instead of going wasting police time for nothing

You wont get anywhere reporting it. It was your fault so making a report for your insurance company is pointless.

I wouldnt bother posting in here because well youve see the mentality of the regular posters in here.

I think unfortunately it was a mistake we all make them, it could have been a lot worse, I think you`l have to write this one off to experience.

Get in a few cans tonight and tomorrow things will look a lot better. Its not the end of the world, just be glad you didnt have a passport or something in there. I had my car broken into and went to the guards , I didnt leave it open they smashed the window to get in and even with a proper break in the guards basically told me I was wasting my time as there was no chance of catching whoever did it. I dont think the guards will do much other than lecture you on having left the vehicle unlocked.

:rolleyes:

What can they do? And is there really any point wasting money looking for some mp3player that was stolen because some guy left his door unlocked?

MagicMarker · 21-09-2009 5:26pm

I remember one time I left my keys in the door lock:D

I copped it about 3 minutes later though while sitting in my house.

Dr_H_Lecter · 21-09-2009 5:28pm

been there, except they put my fly-window in. in fairness i did leave my mp3 on display. its a life lesson, i know it sux but you wont let it happen again. ringing the guards would be the responsible-citizen thing to do, they just log it and it goes in their stats for where to patrol etc.
as for the thief, feel sorry for them, they must live the life of a petty menial common car thief. how ..... pitiful.

Sleipnir · 21-09-2009 5:33pm

Ring the Gardai anyway. Don't help FF when they tell us that the rate of petty crime is falling. :pac:

I had my car robbed when I left it unlocked in the driveway and they got my handfree speaker. Called the Gardai and they called up. They offered to fingerprint it but I told them they money spent doing that would far exceed the value of the handfree.

Dr_H_Lecter · 21-09-2009 5:42pm

...........but every cloud should have a silver lining.
worth more than any mp3.
