Today, my car was found with a smashed window and a torn-apart steering column, in order to hot-wire it. The thief didn't get away with my car, though. The engine was in the garage, where I've been working on it for two days. FML

This actually happened to my boyfriend but he posted it from my account since he doesn't own a smartphone himself. he pulled his engine from his car to work on it (he's an auto tech student) and had been without a car for a few days. luckily he was planning on getting a new ignition, he wasn't however planning on replacing a perfectly good window... but thanks for all the comments guys, i'll be sure to let him know about all the support!

I'm guessing the thief didn't see the "check engine" light.

This literally just happened to my car two days ago! He not only failed to hot wire it, but he left his phone and screwdriver in my car. -.-

He/she obviously wasn't the smartest car thief...

Aren't you happy you still have your car??

It's still been vandalized and it's still going to cost to repair. He should not be happy just because his car was not stolen.

That thief should probably look into changing "careers".

Tough neighbourhood, having to remove your engine to stop them stealing your car.... :-)

he didn't remove the engine to foil thieves he said that he had been working on it

at least it's only some damage and not a stolen car!

at that point couldn't he have just pushed it away?

That wouldn't make for a very fast getaway or an awesome police chase, though.

This thief must have felt really stupid: “Today, I did my best to steal a car. After some long and hard work I found out that the car has no engine. F**k-The-Thief’s-Life”

Well, at least the thief didn't (and couldn't) take your car!

at least he didn't try to steal it after you put the time into fixing the engine. always a silver lining OP. your insurance will cover the window without raising your deductible too much in comparison to replacing a whole car.
