HeightsGuy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi All, just wanted to throw out a bit o news. My car was broken into, window smashed out and the radio crudely ripped out of the dash, taking all the A/C controls along with it. It happened at the C terminal garage.Not a pity story here, just wanted to let you know that when the officer arrived he said it has been happening with a bit of frequency there.

Where you just there for the day or was your car parked there for a period of days? When im out of town i usually park off from the airport property and that still isnt safe. My top was cut in an airport area parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 That's surprising. I thought they had security cameras in the garages. Nope, I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 reconfirms for me that it's always best to get a ride to the airport True The taxi option is ridiculous and the METRO option is sort of garbage for me. Driving is the best option, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trophy Property Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 True The taxi option is ridiculous and the METRO option is sort of garbage for me. Driving is the best option, unfortunately I recently came home from a trip and noticed 2 cars with smashed windows. One was right next to mine. I happened to leave my car unlocked and nothing happened. They probably opened it up and looked around and realized my cassette player was not worth crap.

HeightsGuy Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 That's surprising. I thought they had security cameras in the garages. Nope, I guess not.Yep, I noticed there was a camera at the end of the row as I was leaving with the tow truck. I didn't ask about it nor was told anything other than the usual stuff from the officer when something happens like this. To be honest, I was suprised they came at all. Usually they just say to go to a substation and fill out the form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krix Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I recently came home from a trip and noticed 2 cars with smashed windows. One was right next to mine. I happened to leave my car unlocked and nothing happened. They probably opened it up and looked around and realized my cassette player was not worth crap. They wouldn't even need to smash the windows. After watching the AAA guy opening my car three times for me, the next time I locked myself out I did it myself with a wedge and a coat hanger both kindly provided by the police department. But maybe my car is just too old (I mean you shouldn't be able to lock yourself out..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncertaintraveler Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 True The taxi option is ridiculous and the METRO option is sort of garbage for me. Driving is the best option, unfortunately All of which reinforces that need for dedicated rail service from downtown (among other locations) to both airports.

HoustonMidtown Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Yikes - I was just parked in terminal C parking for the last week. I did see security cameras - but who knows if they actually work.....I have always parked at the airport lots (not the off-site lots) and have never had a problem - I never leave anything in my car that anyone would want anyway....someone needs to invent something like they use in bags of bank money - when you break a car window, a blue ink bomb explodes all over the perp !!!

ricco67 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 ..someone needs to invent something like they use in bags of bank money - when you break a car window, a blue ink bomb explodes all over the perp !!! Wouldn't that make detailing your car mandatory afterwards? Well, parking can also be a bit on hit and miss as well, but I also list it is one of the most dangerous places in the city to drive in as well. While I don't have the police records to back this up, I've seen or know of at least 4 accidents a day in the will clayton/terminal lanes alone! sevfiv hit the nail on the head, it's best to get a ride and let someone else do the driving either a friend/relative or cab.

Subdude Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Yeah, but the cabs there are so freakin' expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
