Almost Had My HID's Stolen

I was at my future brother inlaws house last night (Newark) watching the SUPER BOWL, when suddenly my girlfriend yells, BABE! BABE!!.....LOOK THEY ARE TRYING TO STEEL YOUR LIGHTS!!!! We all jumped off the couch and looked out the window and seen four brotha's in a Cherokee Jeep and one pushing down on the bumper. My alarm started to sound and we all ran out the house and they fleeded the scene. I inspected the car and found no damage.

I guess I got lucky this time...

Wow sounds like you did get lucky.

By the way, how did you know all four guys were related?

No, you don't have to explain, but I think I do. I'm trying to use humor to point out that their may be something innappropriate about your post.

What color Cheeroke?

About 2 months ago, I was around the Newark area with my parents in their Cheeroke and we were away form the vehicle, then people say that another Cheeroke pulled up and jack our one.

03BlkSETE - I don't think there's anything innapropriate about my post. Trying to keep heads up in the Newark area with a description of the thugs is not a bad thing. Or is it?

Same thing here, there were four "brothers" that jumped out of the Gray Jeep and jack my dad's Jeep. We found it 3 days later TOTALED.

Yes I said "brother".

ok ok... I don't see 'brother' being used in a derogatory context. At least to me, 'brother' isn't a negative thing. Then again, being white excludes me from judging if its an offensive term or not. If anyone is offended, its not my place to challenge it, if you are just let me know and I'll take care of things.

Race was used describing the kids in the A4 as well.

I see nothing wrong with the post or the thread. If four black guys tried to jack your hids then 4 black guys tried to jack your hids that. That simple! Saying brothers was just being cool about it. Either way more descriptions and the vehicle info was good too.

Yea, I think that of all the words he could have chosen this one was on the nice side. Trust me, being Irish we hate (and have a word) for every race / color / religion. Now if it was 4 Irish guys trying to jack my HIDs, I would be all "4 drunken MICs are stealing my Xenons!"

Don't think because someone is black it excludes them from being called black. I don't think policical correctness has any place when people are commiting a crime. Seriously, what would you have said if the guys were driving off with your HIDs and the cop asked for a description?

Yes, I added an additional alarm system with shock sensor under the hood and a police siren with strobes. The siren is in front of the car and is loud as hell. If only you could've seen the looks on their faces when the alarm sounded and saw us running towards them. A few more seconds and I would've had an arm for a trophy..!

I think it's an excellent idea to share details about HID thefts, including a detailed description of the theives and I don't think titot4u was being derogatory. I just think if you're intent is to share this info, share it all. Like someone asked what color was the jeep, approximate year, special markings, wheels, dents, stickers or other distinguishing characteristics. What about the 4 guys in the jeep? If you are going to include their race, what about age, approximate height and weight, facial hair, clothing, and the list goes on. That's the kind of info I would have provided the police if I had to. I didn't mean to come off as the PC police.

no trolling for race arguements, even if youre just joking. You will pi$$ someone off, I promise, and the otherwise decent description of some thieves will be gone - 'cause I'll sh*tcan the whole thread.

I think he meant mine, which he deleted, and which I'll apologize again for. Didn't mean to 'bring on the hate.'

Actually, I think it originated as "Mcs". The reason being is that so many of my people have "Mc" infront of their last name. I'm not sure, so someone correct me if I'm wrong!

maybe if you said brotha's instead of brothers that would be more appropriate?

I must not be "with it" these days because I totally missed the reference thought he was talking about four people that were related to each other.
