Not your typical Ninja weapon...
#5 - A wooden paddle? LOL!
The paddle-wielding victim described the suspect as being a very very bad boy.
Give the guy a break, he was trying to recycle.

An iPhone "otterbox?"
Oh man, that has got to be a typo, 'cause everybody knows not to give your otter a cell phone. They won't stop talking!

I guess the LCD can predict the future now.
When are people going to
When are people going to remember that old saying "Out of sight out of mind"? How hard is it to put things up? If you take time to put bigger things in the trunk and smaller things under something,at least there is nothing laying in the open yelling,look at me and then bust this window and take me!!!!! Times are hard and getting harder for most people.Locks are to keep honest people honest and make it a little harder on the dishonest.
As for the wooden paddle throwing guy.I'd rather someone break into my trash can than my home or car.Did you ever think to tell him to come back in the morning and you would have him a cup of coffee and let him get all the cans out of your trash can.I fix up a trash can for a man that was coming around where I live and walking on the road picking up cans.Yes,he even gets a glass of iced tea,ice water or cup of coffee.I'm just glad he is welling to work for what little bit he has and is not willing to steal and is big enough and honest enough to say these words "I'm down on my luck right now and would like to know if you mind if get these cans" I even try to have all the kids around here to smash them up so we can get more in the rubber-main trash can,that says "CAN MAN" on the side.
I was raised to help those who are willing to help their self.Smash a few extra cans and put it out where the man can get all the honest living he can.

What a great thing to do. Not only is it benefiting him but the kids are learning a valuable lesson as well. Compassion! We could all use a reminder. Thanks.

# 2,4 &6 ) STOP LEAVING CRAP IN YOUR CARS! When are people going to stop leaving crap in their car in plain sight. If you can see it in your cars when you leave, so can criminals! If you all insist on leaving valuables your cars to entice the criminals, stop being a tease and just leave the doors unlocked, at least you don't have to pay for a new window too!
4&6 sound like teen criminals. cds and ipods? Seriously
#5) Who calls the police because someone is stealing cans out the trash! If you wanted those can so much, they wouldn't be int he TRASH! LOL. If only Captain Planet was still around.

can-didly
First they came for my cans,
and I did not say anything.
Then they came for my copper pipe,
and I did not say anything.
Then they came for my kidneys,
and I tried to beat them off with a length of pipe with a can wrapped around it,
but they were gone.
LOL @ Igor
Shut it, Flanders!
