We went to hike down by the Santa Ana river yesterday, and parked near two other vehicles. When we returned, we found the drivers side window smashed and all of my tools/spare parts missing from the trunk. The other two vehicles were already gone, but with the smashed glass near their parking space, it's possible they were broken into as well.
I keep nearly all my tools in the trunk so I won't forget them and it's also a throwback from my apartment days when I had to do motorcycle maintenance in underground parking. Now, the tools didn't have a great value other than sentimental (I had some of them for over thirty years), but now I have the job of replacing them. I'll always remember that Motion Pro spark plug wrench that I won at the Club Moto night series.:( It couldn't be used on four strokes, but that's beside the point.
The question is - what are someone's old tools worth to these heartless punks? A few bucks at most? Certainly a tiny fraction of the replacement cost.
AAAArrrgh!
