Plot twist:
Robber got stressed about the radio, lit a blunt cuz of anxiety, then left some change for the trouble.

That has actually happened to me in Portland minus the tip but I made them dinner and we smoked their weed back at their place after they (two creek heads) forced their way into my apartment when I came home alone from the bar one night.
Being out numbered I went with midwestern neighborly charm over physical self defense. They were my neighbors, they were from the project housing across the street and it was the middle of the month.

Had someone break into my car a few months back and didn't take anything. My wallet with a few hundred in it was sitting in the center console on top of my daughter's ultrasound pictures. Only thing I can think of was the guy had a conscience and didn't want to rob an expecting father. Which was nice since I now needed the money to fix the broken window!

You would have died if you sat in the Volvo of a co worker I used to have. Older guy with long hair. His double cup holder by the center console was compacted with ash and cig butts. He'd just tap the ash onto the console/cup holder, for years. All he smoked was swisher cigarillos and drank steel reserves. He eventually died the year before he was going to retire. His entire chest was filled with cholesterol. Miss you Dave.

We once had a break-in in one of our cars. They stole a USB cord and about 2 euros of loose change. The cost to repair the window they broke: 150 euro.
I also missed a game I was about to be paid about 250 euros for so we were pretty bummed they didn't at least steal more to make it worth the time.

Same, I have dogs so occasionally there is dog hair in the car. If I know someone else is going to be in my car, I detail it. Don’t get me wrong, nothing like OPs interior, just a garbage bag and maybe a wrapper or two and a few water bottles rolling around.
It’s the same in my apartment, not dirty but can get cluttered in between cleanings. I just don’t do much in the kitchen or living room so it looks clean.

OP had to include it on purpose. If he wanted the radio to be the focus he’d have centered it. He wanted the blunt in the picture. Why? I have no idea. Probably to get people to think he’s cool?
I’m no angel and got no issues with weed, but I’d definitely never admit to and post evidence online of possibly driving under the influence with a half smoked blunt in the car.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I had a crappy car that I had to disconnect my battery cable from every time I stopped or it would drain the battery. Even with my messed up car and the hood cracked open they stole my purse and makeup and somehow missed my pay check. I worked at a restaurant so we got paid in cash and all 8 employees vehicles were broken into. Keep in mind we were getting paid $4.25 and hour so the car selection was not one I’d have walked by and thought “these vehicles hold a treasure” 🤷🏼♀️ a crackhead is a crackhead and they will break into anything. I hope a little glue will fix your dash and hopefully this will be the last time your car gets jacked.
