Hey,
Just wanted to share with you guys something that happened to my friend last night.
He left his car unlocked, with a portable GPS in plain sight. A cop noticed that the car was unlocked, and proceeded to open it. He decided it was critical to contac the owner cause the car was unlocked and it was dangerous for theft. So he decided to take out the GPS, a laptop, paperwork and all other stuff that was valuable. He then looked into the GPS system to check for the last destinations and tried to contact the people there to find the owner. He also proceeded to open up the laptop and start browsing through emails, contact info and even pictures (!) to locate the owner.
Since the cop tried to call me first, and I found out later from my friend what he has done, I decided to call the cop to tell him that he was way out of his league. I said he invaded my friends privacy, and also my company privacy (my friend works for me and has confidential info on his laptop). The cop in return started threatening me with giving him a ticket, and that he would never check any 'volkswagens' again. I polity replied that while I appreciate the effort he went through, it should be limited to checking the license plate and contacting the owner. In this case the car was registered to a company, and he said 'it was too much trouble to find the company owner'. Yeah right.. i guess it's not too much trouble to rob the car yourself and start browsing pictures on the laptop. He even made a remark to my friend saying 'Nice pictures from Vegas'. WTF!!! He also said that next time he will just put a post it on the car 'rob me, im unlocked'. I'm seriously thinking about putting in a complaint against him. Any thoughts?
