Yes, my car is gone. A piece of crap 1996 Toyota Camry ripped off from my Parking Place. Its gone. The only thing was my work notebook was in it. Not much in there but alot of work stuff. Getting your car jacked sucks especially when it was a piece and I did not have full coverage insurance. Hopefully they will find the remains tomorrow - I don't know what a screwed up night.

I'm much too young to own a car, but we once had our '88 suburban stolen right of our driveway in broad daylight, WHEN WE WERE HOME. I noticed it missing, and my parents freaked out.
A little later my sister's friend from down the street called, because our truck was outside their house!
We assumed our good ol' junker had stalled on the car stealer. It stalled a lot.
That was a short lasted joy ride :p
After that (since it didn't fit in the damned garage that thing) we got some bar lock thing for the steering wheel, which locked it in place. So if anyone stole it, they couldn't steer >_>
Now we traded it in for like $200 bucks and gave it to some cancer society. Now we have a Civic that fits in our garage :p
Use your garage people!!!

My first car was stolen. It was the "parents'-gift" car. It was actually pretty nice, I had a new paintjob, nice new wheels, and new suspension. It was stolen from a Fred Meyers lot as I was walking in. Literally two minutes out of the car and some prick runs up, hotwires it or uses one of the generic brand-keys (I had neglected to lock it), and drives off. I saw him leaving through the big front windows, like, "Hey, he's got the same set-up as me!"

That was a Toyota Land Cruiser.

Now I bought myself a WRX-STI. :)



Sorry to hear about it TH. What's your next choice of car?

Sucks I guess, I don't own a car or a license yet, but yeah xP.

My parents had their house broken into once about 10 years ago, their wallets and my father's laptop were taken xP.

Funny thing is I found the car. It think I have to be going crazy. It was not parked in my covered parking rather down the way a little. I do not remember parking it there. Oh well, I guess the fact it is not stolen is a good thing but me thinking it was....

Did you leave it unlocked? Do you regularly leave it unlocked?

Maybe a friend/co-worker/someone who doesn't like you is just messin' with your head... Tryin' to confuse you while not doing something TOO horrible, as to avoid trouble for themselves.

That's probably what happened. We woke up last weekend to find everybody's cars had moved. Randomly, sometimes bumper to bumper, sometimes blocking the road. And we live on a fairly busy road nearl a mile long. And someone and taken the time to move them all. Amazingly, none of them had been broken into or damaged (except where they were touching, a few scratches present, which warrants "destruction of property" to some of the pompous gits on our road). Very strange.

lol, I wish I could get my car stolen or for that matter steal a car

I will steal a car so I can have it stolen! There I said it I want that to happen
It would be even funnier if the person I stole it from stole it from me

It makes me sad knowing that will never happen :(

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
