Obligatory this happened a couple of months ago.
There was a series of car break-ins in my neighborhood. My car was hit, but none of the big money stuff was stolen. The interior was trashed but nothing was broken. The glove box was left open and the light inside being on all night caused my car battery to die, but the only thing actually stolen was my garage door clicker. This small device of would give someone access to the rest of my house with the push of a button.
I locked the garage door from the inside, disconnected the box for it and spent $200 on a new car battery. I splurged just a little more because I needed the extra cold cranking amps with the super cold weather at the time.
A month passed and I decided to start using the garage door again since nothing had happened and the thief had been caught. Hooked everything back up and unlocked it from the inside. Apparently my weak ass arms didn’t pull the lock out all of the way 100%. When I tried to open it, the garage door bent the tracks and became derailed. Almost fell on top of me. Had someone come out to repair it and that cost another $400.
TLDR: incompetent thief manages to not steal anything of true value, costing me $600 in repairs due to anxiety and incompetence.
