That's a good summary. It's pretty sad.

Is it petty crime to break the knees of a driveway thief?

[SJW]

I'm just going to keep this thread alive.

Seems to be happening weekly now. I'm designing a doppler motion sensor circuit that will light up red n blue lights upon motion by my door handle. Will post some sweet vids when they come.
Last night some Douche broke into my neighbors car.

I wonder how many break ins would be avoided if people used their garages for cars instead of storage.

I'm the only person on my street who doesn't park a vehicle on the street/driveway. I honestly can't believe it.

Someone came around a while ago to warn us that someone was checking if cars were locked. I mentioned they should just park in their garage. They weren't happy.

My boat sits in there. If I get storage for that then it'd would be pillaged.

"storage" lol. Seems usually it's just disorganized junk. I always hope that when someone parks a cool car on their driveway it's because there's something even more cool in the garage. Disappointment, every time.

2 of my neighbors converted their garage into, 1 was like man-cave bar kinda deal. 2nd one converted it into a make-shift living room. These are front attached garages.

I'm down with that idea. An attached garage that is a hangout is sweet.

I would point and laugh. But that's just me.

Only if you have a detached garage as well to actually park in. Boggles my mind that people don't park in garages with the winters we get. Nevermind the cold, just having to brush the snow off my car first thing in the morning is enough of a reason to use a car-hole.

So the solution for me is to get a triple car garage? Cuz i'll fuckin do it.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Once my neighbours turned their garage into a man cave then set up a car tent outside to work on their vehicles. Dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

[ExtraSlow]

Now am an antisocial guy, so I don't want buddies coming over to my house, but I can see the appeal. Honestly, if you make good use of the space, who cares WHAT you are using it for? I also don't mind brushing snow off my car, but apparently that's a big hassle for some people. I guess those people can make different choices.

but we can all agree that the best solution is TWO garages. Oh great, now I will spend the day dreaming about that house I nearly bought with two garages . . . . .

A buddy of mine did that, but he did it right with tandem depth and it’s own climate control so he can hang out with his car. Oh and he has another triple alongside it. Great setup.

That's how you do it right! Nice.

Part of the problem is that all the half tons don't fit in those tiny suburban garages.

My last garage was 2 feet too short length wise for my truck.

My new garage is 8 inches too low height wise but plenty of length.

Can’t win lol, park on street and don’t leave things in my truck and make use of the auto lock feature instead.

I know so many people who don't use their garages. One of those people has an empty, double, insulated garage and it sits empty 100% of the time. It's used for some general storage while their brand new car sits outside in -30C. I just don't get it.
