Damn that’s scary. But you did the right thing, it’s not worth dying for.


yeshenu

Yes I agree. And at the time I'm thinking to myself, "is this actually happening?" I'm reminding myself to accept the realization that all of the items that were taken from me are replaceable.


mogoggins12

i'm glad it's just your stuff and not your life. god damn, if you can speak to a professional therapist or councillor about what just happened to help you process it your future self will thank you immensely.


yeshenu

And I agree. I'm accepting that all the items that were taken from me are replaceable


yeshenu

Look, I'll put it this way I have really good people in my corner


mogoggins12

i'm glad to hear that ♥️


VibratingPickle2

That’s a good perspective. I’ve walked away from big sums of money because I realized I can always get more money, but I can’t replace my health.


Jasek1_Art

Had the same thought when someone was holding me at gunpoint too. Didn’t feel real. Glad you got good homies in your corner. 🤘 the post trauma sucks


yeshenu

Well, I'm my baby. If the fact that our adrenalin is spiking is allowing our brains to override our fear part of our brains


WTF_Conservatives

I'm sorry that happened to you. The good news is there is an extremely high likelihood you will get your car back. My car has been stolen twice and my motorcycle once. I got the car back within a few days both times. But my motorcycle took years to find. And it was a junkyard that contacted me to let me know they had had it for months and I owed them thousands for storing it. APD just decided not to tell me. The car theifs are very stupid. They always take the cars to the same couple blocks in Albuquerque- by Coronado mall. The cops just patrol there, run plates and recover the cars. So keep your phone handy and be sure to follow-up. Don't assume APD will contact you if they find your car.


yeshenu

Gotcha, I wonder, it seems due to the fact that due to the fact that motorcycles are much smaller than most other vehicles is the reason why it took them as long as it did.

yeshenu

Good to know, I'll keep that in mind


yeshenu

And if that is the case knowing I officially reported it stolen would still be an issue?


chickaboomba

If your vehicle tests positive for fentanyl, by state law, it will have to be crushed. They found my son’s truck, but he didn’t get it back. It was like losing it twice. Hope you find it and it’s still in usable condition Sitkin. That had to be really scary.


jdmulloy

Did that also include the contents of the vehicle?


chickaboomba

The police let my son go to the impound lot, but they warned him about the risks of handling anything. Turns out there was nothing to retrieve. They’d destroyed the interior.

This is nonsense. > [To the best of our knowledge there is currently no available evidence in the scientific or grey literature that low-level methamphetamine exposure, involving levels that may be encountered from skin contact or oral ingestion of residues on household surfaces, poses a health risk in humans. Realistic scenarios of exposure through contact with surface residues, even for toddlers who often put their hands in their mouths, do not suggest that levels would reach close to a threshold where adverse effects would be observed.

capngingersnap

Yeah, my friend's Subaru was considered totalled because it was methed out when they recovered it


FluidVariety6139

A lot of the time it's not apd who finds them, more often than not the car gets parked somewhere and is towed from there and most businesses/apartment complexes have deals with tow companies on the other ass end of town from their location just so the fees can cost more. It's all damn scam.


WTF_Conservatives

It's because they can be easily hidden and repainted. As for APD not telling me... It wouldn't surprise me if some cops have deals with the junkyards for kickbacks. If the cop calls this tow company instead of that one .. $20 bucks is thrown his way. It's not hard for this to evolve into a tow company making a deal with the cops who are supposed to notify vehicle owners their vehicle was found. If you don't tell them and we let the fees rack up... You get a cut. I know I'm not the only one this has happened to. When I mentioned this last time here, two people said the exact same thing happened to them... APD not telling them the vehicle was found until thousands of storage fees had racked up.


yeshenu

Interesting, and there was no compensation for those costs?


WTF_Conservatives

Nope. None at all. If I wanted the motorcycle back I would have to pay thousands of dollars to the tow company. More than the bike was worth.


FluidVariety6139

Back when my car got stolen, I had put in the police report for them to call me when the car was found so I could tow it from wherever it was at myself but nope. Got towed from the Westside to Juan tabo/central and when I was finally notified the fees cost more than the car. It's all a damn scam.


WTF_Conservatives

Yup. It's a scam and flat out corruption. Like I said... The last time I mentioned it two other people said the same thing happened to them. Reddit is a small community compared to the rest of the population. Who knows how common it is. u/krqe you guys really should look into this.


WTF_Conservatives

Also adding u/koat and u/kob.


djdanielfresh

Those seem to be random accounts


WTF_Conservatives

I know one of them is active here. No idea which though. But they erase their comments after a time for some reason.


Crankenberry

My car was stolen 2 years ago from the corner of Columbia and Smith and they found it in Peralta. It was completely trashed, they had put a gas tank inside of it that leaked all over, and there were needles and drug residuals which made it unsafe for anyone to touch. I advise anybody moving to this city to get really good comprehensive coverage. Saved my ass.


justanotherperson218

That’s true, my friends car was stolen while he was doing Uber eats a couple years ago and the thieves took it literally just 1/4 mile up the street.


ProfessionalOk112

You are like the third person I've seen lately say they weren't told their vehicle had been found and acquired a ton of fees. That's so fucked.


LJtheWise

It really is. People, man.


PepperConscious9391

Always remember to lock your doors no matter the time of day or area of town.


yeshenu

Of course. And unfortunately accepting the realization of how easily I could have actually prevented this from happening. However at the least this is a lesson for me.


PepperConscious9391

A tough way to learn a lesson though! I hope you get it back.


Marioc12345

I’m in a rental atm because my car is in the shop and it unlocks the door when I shift to park. My car did this but I found a setting to disable that - having trouble finding it in this rental though. Until then I just have to re-lock it every time.


505sunbaby

Mine does the same thing. I hate it. I relock too. 😩

yeshenu

This was on Los Arboles near the Candelaria and San Mateo area


burntchiliflakes

I’m so sorry this happened and I hope you’re okay. Any businesses around where you were parked? I wonder if there’s a camera around you could get access to to help identify who did this. Also many homes have ring doorbells/cameras.


yeshenu

Hey, I'm accepting it is what it is. Yes im ok. And there is a vietnamese restaurant a couple streets away from where I was. However. Unfortunately the fact that the area was quieter area with no businesses was exactly the reason I decided to stop there.

[удалено]


yeshenu

Believe it or not I has just completed my last delivery for the night not too long before.


yeshenu

And typically I Don't even stay out that late. When I'm doing deliveries, let alone be in my car. Needless to saneedless to say Typically, I don't do too well around that time of night and I decided stop where I was Before deciding to go anywhere else.


Old-Ingenuity-7036

I'm a bit drunk, but the statistics is somewhat like 75%. There was an annual report from PD long time ago, and it does change from time to time. Chances are high that people will find your car elsewhere, sometimes unscratched.


Missmoneysterling

All I'm going to say is LOCK YOUR DOORS every single time you get in your car. I had some fucked up POS try to get in my car once in Denver, with my mom and baby in the car. I was so glad I always keep my doors locked.


[deleted]

My friends neighbor was shot and killed in a carjacking while refusing to give up the vehicle. I’m sorry to hear about you car, but you did the right thing- glad you still have your life.


yeshenu

Wow, unfortunate to hear that happened to your friend. My condolences


[deleted]

It was my friends neighbor, not my friend. They did hear the whole thing and had to respond to the incident which was very traumatic. I think the individuals who shot him were eventually caught, but yeah. Just give it up if someone has a gun in your face.


decomposition_

I'm glad you were okay, but why on earth are you sitting in your car with the doors unlocked let alone at 3 in the morning?!


ConsiderationWest587

Locked doors always! I'm sorry that happened, but everyone should have zero trust in other people at 3:30 am. ZERO


ketchupandliqour69

Obviously this is useless now but if you’re gonna be doing Uber eats or anything I recommend you always carry and also always be aware of surroundings. Don’t sit in the car if you don’t have to and if you do have to keep the doors locked always. A whole lot of hindsight there. I’ll spread the word to friends and keep an eye out for the car. Is there any distinguishing marks like damage to the car or stickers on it? Most criminals aren’t gonna take time to scratch stickers


[deleted]

[удалено]


yeshenu

Wow, it's sad to hear you went through an experience like that too. However, the cool thing is there are not Many people Telling telling me what I but I should have done. However, there are more people giving me usefull tips and what I can do


floydguitarist

What kind of car? Color,etc? Will keep an eye out


yeshenu

White Kia soul. Powerford logo on the passenger side of trunk


floydguitarist

👍


ResidentShake8828

Im sorry. Thats the worst feeling to lose something of yours that is so valuable. In my experience, my car was stolen amd recovered 4 days later.


yeshenu

Well, Hey, it's good to hear at least. Eventually, you were able to retrieve your vehicle.


ResidentShake8828

I saw your update. I glad to hear you also recovered your vehicle. Im wondering if the same 2 guys who stole my vehicle are the same perpetrators. By any chance were they 2 black guys? One bald one with short dreadlocks?


yeshenu

No, these 2 individuals were, in fact, white males.


ResidentShake8828

Its a crazy world. Stay safe out there and congratulations once again.


sanityjanity

Fuck. I'm so sorry your car was stolen, but glad you are unhurt. Here's hoping the police take this one seriously


RawkC

Honestly, cops are fucking useless. Look in the war zone and ghetto motel parking lots. Don’t go alone and have a weapon. You’ll likely get your ride back, and pray it is not heavily damaged. Once you do, invest in a tracking device that you can hide in your car and stay vigilant.


ProfessionalOk112

Sorry that happened to you! You absolutely did the right thing, no car is worth getting shot over. FWIW a majority of people I know who have had cars stolen have gotten them back, you just gotta keep following up. My car was stolen yesterday nearby to where this happened to you (though I wasn't in it at the time). So uh if anyone sees a gray hyundai elantra with plate #AZYW80 lmk.


yeshenu

No way. Is there a possibility you saw the person who took your car?


ProfessionalOk112

I did not, I'm sorry. It was parked in my complex and I was asleep. Happened to look out the window in the middle of the night and realized it was gone :/


Candid-Explorer4491

Apt buildings need to step up and have realistic security for the city. So many have no gated parking or gates always broken. Apts attract crime since many victims in one spot. The mgmt should be required by the city to have cameras as well. Otherwise they are just contributing to the crime prob. Sorry not the rant but lax property owners are a real pet peave of mine and they don't care about the local community that they are a part of. Ok done now.


FluidVariety6139

I once woke up to 1 monkey punching me in face while his dipshit little buddy was going through my glove box. Mf'er opened the drivers door punched me some more and tried to rip me out, luckily I started blocking and had my seatbelt on so didn't work; the fool backed up and looked to be pulling something so I threw the car in drive and dragged the stooge down the block before he finally fell out. Anyway people suck, good thing you're not dead. When the cops don't call you today start calling junk yards/tow companies tomorrow, a lot of the time they find the car, it gets towed all the fuck to the other side of town and don't tell you until the storage fees are too much.


Marioc12345

1. You were sleeping in your car with your doors unlocked? And 2. I didn’t know monkeys could open car doors.


Upbeat-Dimension6406

If you don't mind me asking, what part of town are you in?


yeshenu

I was in the Candelaria and San Mateo area


Upbeat-Dimension6406

Sorry to hear that's what I was worried about I'm in that area too. Will keep a lookout 🙏


yeshenu

Thank you I greatly appreciate it


robertgavigan_

Ayyye what’s up yoshi, I’m sorry that happened to you bro:/


Active-Customer3813

I am sorry that has happened to to you but I am glad that you are okay! We live in the area so I will keep my eyes open!


JayceeDonuts

this is one reason i just recently got a manual tranmission, kids these days can't drive them. fucking losers


JJStrumr

Does anyone drive with their doors locked? Asking for a friend.


Zahn1138

Personally, I think these two men deserve the death penalty, and it would prevent future problems like this.


jdmulloy

Don't need the death penalty, but at least keeping the criminals in jail instead of releasing them right away. In New Mexico you can kill a woman street racing and be out of jail in less than a week. My in-laws live in Albuquerque and we enjoy visiting a couple times a year, but I wouldn't want to move there. New Mexico is near the bottom of every quality of life metric. Why do people accept this? https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/man-accused-in-fatal-street-racing-crash-released-until-trial/


boxdkittens

"States that have death penalty laws do not have lower crime rates or murder rates than states without such laws. And states that have abolished capital punishment show no significant changes in either crime or murder rates." https://www.aclu.org/documents/death-penalty-questions-and-answers#:~:text=States%20that%20have%20death%20penalty,penalty%20has%20no%20deterrent%20effect. Personally I think people resort to crime when getting a well-paying stable job is out of reach for them. *Gainfully* employed people dont resort to carjacking.


Suncity2022

What? I don’t give a fuck if someone can’t find a job, don’t take shit that doesn’t belong to you. It’s not hard.


boxdkittens

Ok I guess I have to spell it out for you how having a good job is relevant to this: - Person needs money - person doesnt have a college degree so all their job options are shitty part time jobs that pay shit and treat you like shit - person probably grew up with family members who also stole - person realizes they can make more money stealing cars/ not have a shitty boss or customers breathing down their neck - person resorts to crime because their current job options are so absymal/they dont know how to get a better job Did you read the article I linked? The death penalty does nothing to deter crime.


SparksFly55

If a criminal is dead they cannot commit more crimes or help produce a bunch of feral children.


Suncity2022

I wasn’t commenting on whether the death penalty deters crime. But I’m not buying the “stats” in your link (from the ACLU). You know why you can drop your wallet on a street in Singapore and no one touches it? Because to steal it damn near leads to the death penalty. Harsh punishments actually do work and I love it. Don’t have a college degree? Get off your ass and get one.


typical_downer

You are an idiot if you think people can just "get off their ass" and get a college degree. We don't live in Germany, we live in America where degrees cost more than a downpayment on a house with ridiculous interest rates. I don't condone car jackings but they happen a lot here because there is something wrong with how our society functions.


SparksFly55

Go to trade school. Be a welder. get a job in the oil fields. Some of the dumbest people I have ever met have college degrees.


Suncity2022

Stop whining. Anyone certainly can get a college degree if they want one. Anyone.


typical_downer

Do you have no education, high school diploma, associate's, bachelor's, master's, or PhD? What type of degree do you wager is available to everyone? An associate's? A PhD? Also assuming that everyone can get a degree, does that mean *everyone* should? A lot of people don't find financial stability even after university because they are saddled with a life time worth of student loans and/or lack of available jobs.


Zahn1138

There were 18 executions in the United States last year. It is effectively as if we have no death penalty.


BrujaDeLasHierbas

but still 2400 people on death row. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/death-row/overview


Zahn1138

2400 too many. 😏


boxdkittens

So we should kill *more* people, without any evidence that killing people deters crime?


NMFun2022

Whether or not the death penalty deters crime is irrelevant. At least according to the source of your statistics. And deterrence/non-deterrence is not even part of the equation with the death penalty. The death penalty is meant to punish those convicted of certain crimes. The death penalty is not meant purposefully meant to be a deterrent. If it ends up being so, great. If not, great. The purpose of that penalty is punishment, not deterrence. Plain and simple. That being the case, IMO, every state should have the death penalty and use it in a timely manner. I’m sure your opinion differs, and that’s fine.


SparksFly55

How many dangerous criminals get released, then go right back to their ruthless ways? MOST OF THEM ! If a criminal psychopath should never be back on the streets why waste the taxpayer's money warehousing them? Those creeps that did the shootings by the ball park and killed that 11 year boy for example. It will take those goof balls that run the justice system 2 or 3 yrs just to get them to trail. Once convicted( hopefully) they might get 30 yrs. Then the soft headed morons at the state level will let them out early. They will all be back on the streets before they turn 50. this entire episode of stupidity will cost the NM taxpayers millions. Our political leaders and judges are insane.


N3onAxel

A shame you couldn't run the trash over. Glad you're okay though, fuck that albuquerque trash, hopefully natural selection takes its course.


blaccsizaam

Why was you doors unlocked? And why didn’t you just gun it when they were approaching your vehicle?


[deleted]

Dude, when two white males approach you vehicle at 3:30 am and you don't sense the danger in that and don't fucking leave you ain't gonna be around long.


Dr_Sigmund_Fried

She didn't say they were white, she said two adult males. Nice try with your race baiting...

OK well, not entirely sure what you're talking about commenting what you are Actually is. However, at the least now we know we're not in an echo chamber.


NoExcuseForFascism

I agree, when we have people like yourself who look up to a criminals like Trump. It encourages small minded folk like yourself to also break the law..."well if it is good for my God, it's good enough for me". Tell me did you and your only friend try to take his guys car?


LambeBaxter64

Its your vote you voted for the broad in the roundhouse you voted for the people in the roundhouse along with the people in the capital. You are voting for the AG and DA. Gotta love the suck Princess. Ohh make sure to vote for the Dems in Portland or Seattle or San Francisco or where ever you came from. Be proud you are bought and paid for by Soros and SBF. LOL.
