This has nothing to do with living in a bad neighborhood. Turn on the news, it's happening all over. This is what happens when the economy sucks, people steal anything not locked down.

Uhm, things called a phone. Or you could have switched your battery over to her car to get it started. YDI.

You know you can't apply a report by phone, right? Either way, FYL OP. :/

oops wrong fml

there's this magical thing they invented called a phone. you call 911 or your police stations number which can be found on the front page of the phone book (this thing has its own book that comes out every year) and you call them and let them know that way. also better idea if you have some know how, take your battery out and put it in your mom's car. hopefully there is still gas in that car

YDI for leaving the first car unlocked, and YDIx2 for not *calling* the police. That's what they have phones for -- to come to the scene of the crime and take your reports.
