Unusual breakin

Your wife or girl friend?

Or ex-wife or ex-girlfriend? :)

..

Reminds me of my wifes friend, who used to change the radio stations when her husband was making a turn to make him believe that the radio was defective.... women.

Then my wife forgot she had told me the story and tried to play it on me, lets just say she will never try to do anything like that again...

Absolutely - somebody is targeting you, somebody who knows where you live and where your wife works and also has what it takes to unlock your vehicle - key, remote, whatever. The purpose is to harrass you, since the glove box was purposely disturbed in each case and nothing taken. This is somebody who has recently been in your inner circle and now has hard feelings.

Defective women. I know what you mean, they flock to California like flies to manure.

She's dead?

D'oh! I didn't pay enough attention - make that is targeting your wife, since the incidents were at home and where *she* works. The nature of the harrassment also makes me think of a woman or a kid, since the intent was to damage the sense of security (hominess) rather than actual destruction, like ripping upholstery. If it is a man past his early 20s he could be dangerous, in the stalker sense. But... I could be wrong.

Put some machinist dykim(sp) blue dye somewhere in the car that the person will touch. The dye will come off when the skin sheds and can't be washed off. PS don't get it on your hands. In any case set a trap of some kind that will leave a lasting impression or worse.

LOL - I was riding along with the family a few years ago and realized we were approaching a tunnel. I launched into this pointless story about the Caldecott Tunnel in California and how it had a radio retransmitter inside so radios wouldn't fade out as people went through the tunnel. Then as I finished the story and we began to enter the tunnel I surreptitiously faded the volume down. A moment later my daughter exclaimed, "Hey! That's a tape!" I'm a mean old daddy!

Subarus have frameless windows which make it a snap to open the door without damaging the car. Just ask any Subaru owner who ever locked their keys inside the car.

But not easy to do inconspicuously. The first intrusion was in the driveway at home; not a place for a stranger to be wrestling with the window and lock. When I was young I lived in a neighborhood where the police would not stop at night, and my apartment was broken into three times in a two week period. Every apartment in my building was burglarized over that period. But nobody's car was ever bothered on the street, because everybody knew that if they were caught a quick death was too much to hope for.

The second break-in where his wife works clinches it. It's personal.
