Car thieves - etiquette
Discussion
I used to put a little sign in the car window to indicate the absence of anything worth stealing in the car. Printed A5 size and laminated, it was a quick matter to pop it under the rubber seal every time I left the car.
Having found the car window smashed at 04.00 and its contents, or lack of, rifled through, I've decided to start using the signs again, but the wording is proving to be a bit of a dilemma, so guidance would be appreciated.
Do I go for something simple, such as...?
No Sat nav, No cash, No gubbins, Nothing to steal
Do I bluff it...?
Dangerous substances within, risk of death
Do I go for the sympathy vote..?
Please leave my possessions alone, I'm old and tired
Or something like...
f
k OFF, YOU THIEVING SCUMBAG. A CURSE ON YOU. MAY YOUR ANUS BE INFESTED WITH A THOUSAND PUS-RIDDEN ANTS FOR ALL ETERNITY. AND LEARN HOW TO BREAK A WINDOW WITHOUT fkING UP THE FRAME, YOU RETARDED MONKEY'S ahole
Or something else...?

Was about 20 years ago... I saw this in a Porsche that used to park in a multi-story.
Laminated sign on the car "Had radio nicked previously - Have not replaced. No radio in the car."
One day when passing I saw the side window had been smashed in - and scribbled on the sign "Just checking mate."

To be honest I don't think it will matter what you put. The bds will try it anyway. Where was the car parked? Do you know why they picked on yours?

Anyhow, how are they supposed to read a sign at 4am?

The trouble with that is that someone with a satnav, cash and gubbins might put that sign in as a bluff.
