Title: WTF? Thief stole my Unusual Dukeadite Zucabr w/ No Alarm Post by: Hanlon Razor on 2009 June 17, 18:25:19 Be careful what you keep outside in the front lawn. Thief went for the door, then backtracked and stole my giant space rock and ran to the curb and drove off. Alarm didn't sound, no police came. :[
Title: Re: WTF? Thief stole my Unusual Dukeadite Zucabr w/ No Alarm Post by: Zazazu on 2009 June 17, 18:32:38 Have you tried putting the alarm outside? That used to be a mainstay for me in TS2, but I haven't tested yet for TS3. I'll see if I can't get a burglar. In four generations, I've only had two robberies.

More annoying than typical repo snatching, as you can buy most repossessed items, but have to go through the tedium of replacing a rare collectible by rummaging or running in circles around town.

There's a delay between the popup that says the repo man is coming and when he actually shows up. Go into buy mode and stuff anything you care about into your family inventory. Title: Re: WTF?

Thief stole my Unusual Dukeadite Zucabr w/ No Alarm Post by: HomeschooledByTards on 2009 June 19, 00:52:03 Does the repo man still produce a funny message if you have no stuff to take? Nope. He tries to take stuff briefly, but since there is nothing to take he turns around and leaves. Title: Re: WTF?
