Parking lot horror!
My sister bought a new flat screen tv at future shop in bayers lake Monday night. After securing it in the trunk, she went to walmart for 10 minutes and the goddamn thing was stolen, windows shattered, the tv pulled thru the backseat. A years worth of

Ohmygod, I don’t blame you for being so angry. I went to get groceries one time years ago and had my entire apartment cleaned out in under an hour. I have been totally paranoid about security and valuables ever since. You just don’t forget such a horrendous violation.I feel badly for your sister. All I can suggest is that she opt to have something like that delivered next time. Did she pay for it with Visa? I believe they will reinburse for stolen goods, especially so soon after her purchase. She should investigate that. As far as those heartless, soulless little c*nts go, don’t worry, honey, hopefully, someone will stick a knife into their useless bellies.
Makes one wonder what was worth more than the TV at Walmart to make her stop in for 10 minutes. Of course it’s worth their effort to smash windows and pull the heist. Same goes for home breakins. Windows smash easily and they’re in and out before anyone notices. I’ll bet your sister is going to be more alert and aware of her surroundings from now on. Hard life lessons learned. Tough break.
Buy the cheap shit at walmart first and then take the big ticket item directly home. I would not leave anything expensive in my trunk in bayers lake. Lesson learned.
C’mon people, stop being so smug…we all know what her sister had to do with her tv being stolen, but realizing that there are people who will follow you and break into your car really, really sucks! I have had my car broken into twice and had things stolen from me, and yes, I’ve learned from it. But please, some sympathy. Nobody wants to hear ‘lesson learned’ at a time like this. I bet she gets it already.
I agree with you karen,I hope those sorry bastards get whats coming to them.
Your sister should read the Chronicle classified. There’s an ad … it’s a steal (or a deal). a 62″ flat screen tv for $150. but the sound doesn’t work. Guess they broke that ripping it out of your sister’s car.
there had to be cameras somewhere on the parking lot.
