Vintage Toyota owner faces absolute nightmare while leaving for work after discovering terrifying tampering on her car door

Valid crashout

If you are having an awful morning, yoweeweestanks is sure she is having a worse one. In a TikTok video, she said she was about to leave for her second day of work when she noticed someone had broken into her 1982 Toyota Corolla. “If you’re having a bad start to your morning, well, don’t you worry, Queen. At least somebody didn’t drill into this lock. The passenger lock,” yoweeweestanks said, crying profusely.

As she turned the camera, she noted her car was beeping after she opened its door, which it only does when the keys are inserted. “Car is beeping. That’s weird. It only makes that beeping noise when the keys are in there. Why is it making that beeping noise?” she said before exclaiming, “Whoa, woah,” after realizing that someone had drilled into her car lock. “Some a**h*** just drilled into your car,” she said.

She then noted that the miscreant or miscreants had left her a souvenir. “And what did they leave? Awesome. The drill piece to your car.” Because of the damage to yoweeweestanks’s car, she could no longer go to work. Commenting sarcastically on her situation, she noted, “Your car doesn’t work, so you can’t go into work. Haha.”

“This is so incredibly devastating”

Car break-ins are unfortunately not uncommon, and while you cannot control whether someone breaks into your car, you can always reduce the likelihood by taking precautions. In fact, a Los Angeles man has an “excessive” trick to prevent such incidents, and it strangely involves a sock.

Yoweeweestanks’s video, in which she narrates her car break-in story, has gained significant momentum, amassing more than 400K views. The post also has many comments, saves, and shares, highlighting its popularity. Another video that gained popularity in the past couple of weeks was by americagracee, in which she asked a worker at Target for help after noticing two men behaving suspiciously.

A few people in the comments extended their sympathies to yoweeweestanks, highlighting how unfortunate her situation was. One user wrote, “I am SO sorry – this is so incredibly devastating.” Another said, “I am so sorry!! Your car is looking so nice and taken care of too.”

Some people focused on the positives, noting how lucky she was that her car was still there. One person commented, “They tried to drive it, thank god they were too dumb to figure it out, and you still have your car, girly. I know it sucks, but it could have been so much worse.” Another said, “On a positive note, the car is still there.”

There were also people who spoke about having been victims of attempted car break-ins themselves. One user stated, “Same thing happened to my car. The replacement piece was like $90, and I had to have my brother take the steering wheel off to put it on, then I had to pay someone to program the new key to the car.” Another wrote, “Someone broke into mine and stole it, so 100% understand how violating and helpless you feel. Heart goes out to you.”

Some commenters suggested that yoweeweestanks take an Uber or another car service to her office so she would not miss a day. However, others pushed back, arguing that she deserved the day off. Given how traumatic it must have been to see her damaged car, this seems like a plausible option.
