While making a Costco run with my wife some douche broke into my car and yanked my cd deck out. We were in the store for a total of no more than thirty minutes, so it had to be someone casing the parking lot.

I notified the Costco folks and was told they have had problems with people's car's getting broken into in the past. I was thanked for the info, and moved along. Naturally I decided to not report it to the cops, because it would do me no damn good.

Today while getting in my car I noticed a cell phone to the left of the driver's seat I'd never seen before. Seeing that only my wife and I use the car, it's for sure the property of whomever stole my deck.

I'm heading into the police station tomorrow with the phone in hopes that they catch whomever is doing this.

I thought reddit in particular would appreciate this "when good criminals go dumb" moment.

I'll update this post if I have anything entertaining to add to the story :D!

Edit 1 : Took some pictures of the phone since people seem to be interested in the story.

• Cell phone left in my car

• Phone splash screen

Edit 2 : I went in and made a formal report at the sheriff's department. The guy taking the report seemed initially excited at there being a left behind cell phone, but turned into a bit of a douche when he heard there was minimal damage done to my car. After that he seemed to lose interest in the whole situation and turned into a bit of douche.

My experience in the sheriff's office is exactly the reason why no one reports these types of things - cops treat it as a waste of their time.
