Made my way back from 8 miles with two more to go back the other direction from parked car. Started to go back by the car at the place we park it every time we run in Chattanooga and the glass was broken. I am usually pretty cautious about what I do. I was with my girlfriend and it was her car. We always put our valuables in the trunk. I hide mine within the car. I accidentally forgot my Ipod in the center console though. She had put her purse in the trunk but her car has a trunk release that is not lockable(design flaw as there is no lockable glovebox either). So I didn't have my wallet or cell stolen but she had her purse, cell, my Ipod, and her ipod dock stolen. This got me to thinking that with these economic times I need to warn all of you to take extra precautions. As our sport has grown I'd say some crooks look at us as good targets since we park our cars and run(marathon trainers even doing so at not so wise hours). It is hard to believe but this path had people all over it today so this was a brave crook. We don't carry much so monetarily we didn't lose "that" much but the hastle it has caused is much worse. If any other people have been broken into or anyone has any good tips of things to do to keep from getting robbed then please post them!

Everything is locked in the trunk with nothing on view in the car, not even CDs, to attract anyone's interest.

I leave the doors unlocked with nothing of value inside. Old cars are not targets

Hard luck, I am always very careful now about where I park my car. Not quite the same but parked my motorbike, went for a run and when I came back I'd lost the key for the padlock securing my helmet. I had the keys to the bike ignition and the panniers and I still to this day don't know how I lost just the padlock key. So had to phone my father up to do a 40 mile round trip to bring a spare helmet then had to go to a garage and borrow an angle grinder to cut the chain holding the helmet to the bike.

When I was going through school I once left my truck window down and stuff inside just kinda out and about. I did lock my wallet in the glove box (butstill left it the truck unlocked with windows down). I came back and my book bag and other things had been ransacked a bit. Nothing missing to speak of except a piece of gum. I would not have noticed that but the crook left the wrapper on the seat. It shocked me as the crook had to be uneducated because none of m,y $100 text book were missing nor was any of my CD's. I attribute that to the fact that I listen to country mostly. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I will take more precautions in the future. Thanks for the heads up as we can never be too complacent.

DW AND I WENT WALKING IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE COMM. COLLEGE. TWO WOMEN HAD THERE CAR BROKEN INTO WHILE THEY WERE ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT. THEY SAW THE CAR PARK NEXT TO THERE CAR THEN LEAVE.IT IS DIFFICULT TO STOP THIEFS. IT IS BEST TO LEAVE VALUABLES AT HOME.
