Angry Orlando is getting really bad with car problems!

At leat 10-12 more break ins at waterford this weekend.

And last night, my girlfriend's roomate's car was stolen from River Park, off of Dean between Coloniol and University.

97 White Honda accord, plain looking highest theft rate car. Watch your guy's stuff.

Would have been nice if they stole mine and only stole her radio instead.

seriously some needs to make the cops set up a sting. it seems to be happening pretty consistent now and shouldn't be too hard to bust these kids. i'm scared to go to waterford now to watch a movie. i know if i catch someone who breaks into my car i'll beat the living crap outta him(s). who are the cops gonna arrest, the guy who is breaking into cars or the other guy who almost killed him w/ a baseball bat? i don't want that to be me, but it will seriously happen.

is there a certain section that the cars are getting broken into? is it mostly at night? during the weekends? just want to know so i can avoid the area at that time.

My uncle rebuilds old muscle cars in Miami, and equips them all with pull-off steering wheels.

He locks those in the safe.

hopefully when the middle / high school starts up again in a month it'll be safe to go to waterford during school nights... cause it seems like most of the kids i see hanging out down there are in that age range.

Actually breaking news on my car, guy stole my e-pass been using it roughly 6 times a day since July 8th.

I just got an epass report when I canceled it and it has all the roads in it and whats funny, is he drove through the Dean road toll then got off at Coloniol aroun 9:30 on July 11th, the night we had car break ins(like 3 of them) He appears to maybe go to Valencia he gets off at the Valencia exit alot, and on and off Holland road. Where is that at?

I asked e-pass if they can take a pic of his plate if he uses my e-pass again, or something to get his tag number. Also I asked if they could sit at the Holland exit and have them call me when he goes through

Hell I say about 5 of use take our F-bods and park them at night at Waterford lakes, and then we hide in an old beat up buick in the next lane. As soon as anyone dares take a peek into the windows, or even takes a double look, we coem out with bats. Soudns good enough for me I've been bored lately.

LOL! I'm up for it!

Seriously though, we need to all start hounding the police and get them to put some bait out for these jerks.

I say we use my 3rd gen for bait. Put some stereo boxes on the passenger front seat. Somebody can sit in the back seat under a blanket with a shotgun and wait. The rest of us can wait a few rows over with the ball bats. When the pecker gets the shotgun in his face the rest of us can come over. Throw him in the back of somebody's van. Take him out in the woods and show him how they do things in less civalized countries.

One of my friends lives in an apartment complex over near UCF. Her boyfriend got all four of his wheels stolen off his Integra in the middle of the night and they put it up on blocks. Then she had to pay $150 for a lawyer to write a letter b/c he didn't have enough $ for new rims and the apartment complex was going to tow the car then charger her $350 for the tow. A couple other people in her complex have had some stuff stolen also-I forget what complex she lives in though.

I'll bet these are the same little B****s that are selling those cheap speakers out of the cars. They probably do car breakins in their spare time. :-)
I'm in for a sting operation, I drive a beater around especially to the mall so nobody looks at breaking in it, I cant relax knowing my Z is being banged around in the parking lot by some A holes who have no respect for other peoples property, we need to give them a little lesson in respect.
