Klepto stole my car - no one noticed but me ?

 >:(

Hi All - I'm new to the forum. LOVE IT BTW! Anyone else have this happen to them? (I looked, didn't see a thread on it, so forgive me if there was one.)

So I have Monica Geller in the garden harvesting veggies for her meal (I recreated everyone from Friends - too bad there is no coffee shop job because I would have created Gunther too!!) When this Klepto maid comes in and steals my car!! I was a little distracted because Joey was too busy trying to fulfil his "heartbreaker" lifetime wish!! haha!  :o

The only options Monica had was to say "stop doing that", and some others, so I chose "stop doing that" thinking that I would get my car back but NO! I fired him, still no car. Looked in the rest of the families inventory, no car.

Has anyone else had this happen? I even tried clicking on the car previously to see if I could add an alarm, but no. Sims 2 you could add one! I have one of my Sims (Ross) who has maxed his handiness skill -a little departure from the show - no option to upgrade the car. To make matters worse, it was broad daylight, and there was a burgler alarm literally next to the driveway on the house!! I thought to myself, no way anyone could steal it...WRONG!!

Is the car gone for good? Any chance remotely that I could confront this maid? Can they steal my money tree??  :'(



I will love him and squeeze him and pet him and call him George!!

Hi Bogie and welcome to our Forum!

I'm pretty sure nobody can steal your money tree.  As for the car, I doubt you'll be able to get it back even by confronting the klepto.  If it's a burgulary and the police come or your Sim is able to fight the burglar, you get your stuff back.  But not for a car as far as I know.  For future safety, I think putting the car in a garage may keep it from being stolen.  Also, if you keep the car in your Sim's inventory, it can't be stolen.  Of course, if it's a shared vehicle, that's not the most convenient way to store it.

Hi Pam

Yes stupid me. It was a shared vehicle. Rachel and Ross shared it with Monica. For some stupid reason it never occurred to me that a klepto could steal a car when it was parked next to a wall with a burgler alarm on it. Hence, no reason for a garage. Flawed logic apparently!! That just stinks!

Love Sims 3 but I don't like the limited career choices. What happened to Actor? You can be an astronaut but not an actor / movie star? (that really messed up my Friends recreation btw) Don't like the "no car alarm" option for obvious reasons!
I REEAAALLYY miss not being able to buy a hot tub, since Monica is a perfectionist & a master chef who gets stressed easily...apparently, she got locked in the freezer at work, came home in a bad mood..if only she had marinara sauce all over her.. now THAT would have been HILARIOUS!!

Oh well!! Love the site btw. Came across it on google because I was looking for info on gardening. FANTASTIC guides here! THANK YOU!!! ;D
