Ratted out on 2 possibly theifs
Did I do the right thing? Last night when I was leaving Wally-World I saw these two guys leaning up(face foward) against the passenger front door of a Toyota Camry('96-'98). The car had a wing, wheels, and side markers. The first thing that came to my head was 'their trying to break into it'. Why I thought that? Well b/c they looked really suspicious, looking all around the lot, leaning up against the car, hooded sweater(with the hood over). I was parked in front of them, so what I did was wait in my car for like 15min. to see if they would leave, sure enough they didn't. So I just went up to security and told him what was going on.

I'm not sure, but as I was pulling out of the parking lot I looked back and I saw the security guy talking to them. But theres no question about it, they were up to no good.
I felt really good after that.

Thank you man.
I wish somebody had done that when they tried to break in my camry. Of course they were too stupid. Just messed up both locks
The first time I tried to get into a locked car, I did it in about a minute and a half (locked keys inside).....It would be a lot nicer if thieves could figure out how to do that,, instead of smashing windows, leaving us with less property damage. (See Ambient's post). Oh well

"that easy". That made me realize how easy it is for ppl to steal cars.

NO ONE...I repeat NO ONE deserves to get their cars vandalized, broken into, stolen or damaged in anyway....regardless of what they are or what they look like......
I wish more people had the ballz to get involved and do things like you did...
GOOD JOB!!!!

Thanks guys. But I really thought that car jacking, stealing speakers, radios, etc. died many years ago & everyone just went out & bought their stuff...but I guess not.

Hey thanks for ratting me out at Wally World. I had to spend an extra 20 min. there trying to explain no thanks to you. J/k. haha
Good job man. There's lots of times when I wished that I would've done something and didn't. Now you'll never have to think "what if." You did the right thing.
