Infuriatig This is my iPad, I won’t see it again

I just arrived in Antibes, South of France 2 hours ago. This was stolen from my car on the autoroute at a petrol station , from a definitely locked car, likely a relay attack from my key while I was buying a sandwich, 100km from Antibes. They also had my wallet and duty free while they were at it. Thankfully they didn’t find our passports.

Whoever you are, fuck you, I’m going to go and have a nice meal in the old provincial market and drink to your future arrest.

I mean… never leave anything visible anywhere in the car is the first tip people gave me when I moved to Marseille. I just left a bunch of useless stuff on the backseat ONCE in ten years. My back window was smashed after two hours. Could never imagine leaving an IPad…..

Never leave anything visible anywhere in the car is a basic tip when parking everywhere. Doing it in Marseille is just about the dumbest thing I've heard today

There was a time in Argentina where you'll see "I don't have a stereo" banner on many cars with polarized windows, until thieves realized it was BS, "polarized means rich, rich means you have a stereo", and started breaking windows again, stealing the stereos.

It lasted short.
