i pulled everything off the boate last week and put it into the trunk of my car. all the tools, etc. someone just broke into a bunch of the cars in the parking lot of my building and liberated all that stuff from me. NICE!
UPDATE: berkeley PD is working in shifts to recover my toolbox, they have the whole detectives unit scouring the city for clues. JUST KIDDING. but they did take the report.
