But I guess, you park the car driving forward into the parking spot and thus front wheels are more hidden from view of those passing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-45727543320761441882015-01-09T08:45:02.054-05:002015-01-09T08:45:02.054-05:00I once had custom rims stolen from my car.

My rims were on a car of another customer. Outside he offered me money to say I made a mistake. No way buddy, you're going to jail. It was priceless.

Park almost the same spot for the last 4-5 years. it is really sucks as there are only a few trains in the morning til 9:15'ish and the next train will be in the afternoon at 3:40. Thief has the whole 6 hours to do whatever they want. Plus the parking lot is under 401 which there is not much light there. Perfect for the crime to happen. Go officer is not helpful either. Not sure if there is even survelliance cameras. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-65260234389660985422014-07-24T14:07:43.153-04:002014-07-24T14:07:43.153-04:00Oh Tori, I'm so sorry that happened -- that re...Oh Tori, I'm so sorry that happened -- that really really sucks.

I have had a stereo stolen out of my car (many many years ago). I heard a while back there were people stealing catalytic converters off cars. <br />This is one of the only times I am grateful I drive an old car to the GO train, with all the idiot parkers too.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04747774356428753615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-91109766979808447072014-07-23T21:25:19.645-04:002014-07-23T21:25:19.645-04:00Good tip George that's exactly what I plan to ...Good tip George that's exactly what I plan to do from now on, park near a camera.Torinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-79765834809845105622014-07-23T21:22:33.116-04:002014-07-23T21:22:33.116-04:00I would love to leave my precious at home, in the ...I would love to leave my precious at home, in the garage, where it's safe but I do in fact live where there is no transit service and it already takes me a 2 hour commute each way.<br /><br />No locking bolts at the time. I have them now but, they only add so much time to the effort and with no security thieves have all day of undisturbed thievery. The cinder block is still sitting there...

A friend and me went through the mainly industrial area around the station and we found it missing the front seats and airbags. This was in 2001.<br />Even with the camera footage it was impossible to see the thief. He got in and drove away in less than 30 seconds. He was wearing a hoodie.<br /><br />Go lots are parts stores for the assholes of the world.<br /><br />All you can do is park near a camera if possible or close to the station.<br /><br />As an aside, in 1997 i had the drive shaft stolen from my work truck while parked at scarborough centennial hospital!
