How did they get at your car was asked earlier, I was wondering that too? Did you leave your garage door open? Or did they get in your house and go into the garage? That still sucks though, makes you feel violated; and yeah I agree it could have been alot worse if they were "car" thieves.

Garage was open when my roommate went to work in the morning. Whether that be they found a way to open it, or somehow we left it open all night, we're not sure.

Good to look on the bright side. Be glad it's not a honda, or the whole damn car would be gone. Did that computer have any of your personal info or financial info on it? If so, you might consider talking to the bank or what have you.

You also might consider an alarm system that monitors the house and garage, or if you have one for the house, add some sensors to the garage. My folks' house has an alarm system and when a door or window isn't closed it doesn't arm, so you are always sure that it's closed up at night or when you are gone during the day.

That sucks Brandon! Sorry to hear, but at least they didn't take the car(considering they had a key!). Speaking of that, you left a key for your car in your car?!?!

I am really bad at losing keys. I misplace them all the time. So with the Talon, since it's always in the garage (garage is supposed to be closed), I leave the key in it so I don't misplace it. Crazy, maybe. But it's supposed to be what I consider pretty secure in the garage (again garage is supposed to be closed), and then my Daily is parked in the driveway in the spot behind it. So I consider it to typically be pretty secure as far as someone just starting it up and driving it away. I guess overall I'm a fairly trusting individual, maybe to a fault sometimes.

Anyhow, better believe that the keys aren't going to be left in that car anymore.

Why not get a key hook on the wall by the garage door inside the house.. Hard to lose keys when they are always hanging on a hook. :)

Yup that is the plan! Something I'm going to go shopping around for this weekend. But it'll be in the house, I'm not keeping it in the garage as that would be no better then leaving it in the Talon.

Well looks like I fouled out another set of plugs, it's missfiring again. I really need to get some sort of ignition amp soon.

On a good note, even with the occasional missfiring, I got my first bike kill today which gave me a big :D Not sure exactly what it was, but I think it was a Buell because it looked somewhat like a crotch rocket but not totally, and had a little deeper sound. That was the highlight of my night!!!
