Ha! I still work in PG... on the UMD campus which is pretty safe during the day time, but yea good luck with the PG cops helping you out on this. A report will be filed then it will be lost into a black hole. Same thing happened to me a while back when my Civic Si was broken into and they stole my Alpine HU. :mad:

Man PG county. Thats a rough area. I was TDY at Andrews in the mid 90's and I was like damn... lol

I use to live in PG county for like a month, from Montgomery County, my car insurance went up $600 per 6 months, and I was like WTF? and had to move back to Montgomery County.

Sorry for your loss, they'll get caught, its just a matter of time.

check craigslist...i'm sure it will pop up there sooner or later.

Dude, that's most cops these days. They won't do sheet. :shakes head:

That sucks man, sorry to hear about what happened. Don't have an extra set of wheels to help you out either. Hope that bastard gets caught. Do you have any pics of the rims so that we can be on the lookout?

I remember when UMD was sending out those e-mails about people stealing catalytic converters from cars on campus. Glad I didn't have a nice car at the time :ugh2:

Yea lol, that's why you see me parked tucked away in that little corner in KK out of sight. :happydance:
It's like clockwork though - start of every fall semester the scum of PG come to UMD campus and prey on the out of towner freshmen. So many crime alerts of people getting robbed on Rt.1 :shakes head:

PG county is ridiculous.

Yeah it's pretty crazy. I have noticed that you seem to have claimed that spot for yourself :icon17:

I try to get on and off campus as quickly as I can.

security systems on cars need to get physical haha...someone tries to steal your rims and the car tazes them...now that would be nice.

good luck catching these theives...really hate hearing these stories because it makes me very nervous....

Its just crazy how someone could steal rims and just leave a car on bricks or just rotors, to me, its a thought, I just have a hard time swallowing, especially if it was done during the day.

Yea man, when I was doing undergrad in College Park driving around my Civic my insurance dropped $70 a month when I moved further out by Annapolis in Anne Arundel county.


Yea, I am usually one of the first ones in at work and claim the best space there. A BMW M3 and Trailblazer SS park next to me 90% of the time too so I am in good company. :tup:

damn this happened at a mall? is that area really that bad? sorry for your loss man. :shakes head:

I remember seeing something about some crazy security system that had flamethrowers shooting at potential car jackers, but you have to be in the car to use it. It was in Brazil though, definitely not legal in the US :icon17:

I'm surprised no one saw this happening if it was in the daytime at a mall. Would seem to be pretty obvious.

I never knew PG county was that bad. I haven't had any issues in Lot 6 and have parked there for the last 3 years.

It's PG County... all that needs to be said. :rofl2:
Fellow MD'ers familiar with the area will back me up on this! :icon18:

In all seriousness, PG isn't as bad as it USED to be I would say around 7-10 years ago. They are actually cleaning up the surrounding areas especially around campus and further down on Rt.1 closer to the D.C. border.

Campus itself is pretty safe the majority of the time but I still wouldn't advise walking alone around UMD at night.
