Default I think someone tried to jack my car tonight!!

I went to see Lord of the Rings at the new AMC at Bay St Mall in Emeryville.
I parked in the parking structure, right next to the elevators.

When I got back to the car I noticed my alarm had went off. I did a quick check and everything seemed fine. I figured a car probably set it off.

Then I noticed that next to the post (I parked next to one) there was what looked like a hanger straighted out w/ a crook on one end. I was thinking "****!!!"

I looked around my windows, key holes, paint, etc and everything looked fine.

Lesson I learned is to never park the R in Emeryville at all!!

lucky it was an in-experienced thief....unfortunatly if he had known what he was doing....when you got out of that movie it would have been a totally different outcome... glad to see everything was ok

I know which theater you are talking about. Never park your R there, I don't even drive my Teg there for lunch, even though Pixar is only ten minutes away. My co-worker got his 98 gsr stolen while he went inside to order food. It wasn't even 10 minutes.

Bahh, I park my car where ever I go. I'm not going to change what I do in fear of someone taking my car. Then the thieves win whether they get your car or not.

Chris, who's car is a fort on wheels..

I've parked in the exact same spot that a 98 was stolen from before.

Chris, who wishes he had a supra beater, o maybe something not so over rated

That's subjective.

My car has been stripped, and I agree with the fact that most people worry to much.
