Car shopping - Tips, Tricks, and Stories

[Warped Mindless]

I know back on Totse car shopping was pretty popular at one point. Post any tips, tricks, stories and all that here.

For those of you that may not know, car shopping is the act on breaking into cars at night and stealing shit out of them. Many people have found high priced goods in cars.

AKA Car Hopping, the term gets mixed around, both are recognized.

Be efficient, be quick, be thorough.

Don't do it drunk, I've walked up to cars only to find the owners sitting on the porch looking at me. :eek:

I used to do this minus the breaking in part, you would be suprised how many people leave their cars open. Me n my friends did a couple blocks one night years ago and came up with 20 bucks each in change + anything that looked good (cell phones, laptop accessories, ray bans, a case of ciggs) all that change adds up.

I've gotten like 6 ipod shuffles and countless packs of cigg's.

In one night, i got a 16 gig ipod touch, about $30 in $1s and $5s, a zippo lighter, and a cd book with like 30 CDs in it at an Avenged Sevenfold concert. me and a couple friends just walked around the parking ramp. It helps if you don't sneak up to cars, just walk up to one like it's yours and look around it like you have every right to. it was really funny kuz my friend set off an alarm when there was some people walking by, so he acted like he was drunk and he was all like "mmmwoah, thass not my caaaar". good times.

I did many of these last summer and ended up with a few things of note:

* Someone's ID
* 40 bucks in Quarters
* 3 Ipods

Not bad for an hour

Despite the rentacops, I've been scouting malls recently. many good hauls

People who dont lock their doors leave the stupidest shit out.

I used to sketch balls about "roughting" cars (what my mates call it) And 3 weeks ago, i was blind drunk, walking to my mates house, next thing i wake up, in my bed (2 hours walk away) with a backpack (no idea where this bag came from) full to the rim with cd's albums, car keys, wallets and a phone.

I drove to the shops the next morning to find 3 police cars driving along the main road turning into nearly every street to talk to people who had reported their cars as broken into.

Ebayed the cd's, got $55 for about 30 cd's (all shit, was gunna chuck em) Ebayed the unlocked blackberry for 350 as well. and the wallets had about $25 all up.

I don't remember anything that happened at all.

Cheering. :cool:

I never car shopped cuz that shits petty, fuck small money when i was doin shit that could get me some time I'd make sure I'm definetly gettin paid. Carshoppin is always 50/50.

a buddy of mine got about a few 100 worth of cds and a nice car stereo once though. the dumbass got a hammer from me came back sayin it wouldn't work so i told him to use a brick.

I've heard sparkplugs are the best thing to use or the ceramic inside them, it shatters the window then you can break it easier.

Always, always when car shopping at the mall, check under floor mats, seat. They always leave there 120 gig ipods, blackberries, etc there. Never much cash though, probably because their off blowing it at the mall.:fap:
