I just got owned...(Isle of Capri Lake Charles)
 
Monday night is slow and there's only one 5/5 game running. I play a relatively short session (6 hours), and the game slacks off so I cash out. On my way out, I grab a [censored] $8.50 salad and then proceed to the parking garage.

I hear a relatively familiar car alarm coming from where I park my car, and when I approach I see 3 security guards and a cop surrounding my vehicle. As I approach the cop asks, "well who did you piss off?"
"huh?"
"well did you have anything valuable in your car?"
"no..."

Then I see what he's referring to. My passenger side window had a small log thrown through it.

"uh...I take that back. I had my phone and debit card inside... It's a $600 phone."

My nervousness abates when I check my center console and see both my debit card and my phone there.

The cop was pretty cool, he basically told me straight up that filing a report probably won't matter and that he couldn't do much. He also pointed out that both my sticker and license expired over a year ago, and that I should probably check into getting them renewed.

I play poker daily, but most of the regulars who know me are old people and I've offended none of them. On top of that, I don't know how anybody in there could possibly identify my vehicle out of the several hundred in the garage.

Then it's a Monday night, and nobody left the poker game immediately before me. And if this was somebody I know personally this would've been done at my home, not in a casino parking garage...so I am guessing it was some random act of (whatever).

The cop tells me that I should tell the Isle that maybe putting security cameras in the garage would be a good idea, and I realize this echoes with the standard [censored] casino policy. Casino's protect their own asses, not yours. They don't give a [censored] about you.

Hundreds of camera's inside, but they are there to protect the casino's assets. You walk out the door, and there's none. Nothing of value to them is out there...

I've also heard that a few poker players have been mugged out there.

Anybody have any experience like this?

So you're convinced this was a personal attack and not an instance of someone thieving and getting run off before they could actually thieve?

Maybe the cops busted your window to teach you not to be a noob at life.

Sounds like you made the mistake of parking next to someone that had a bad night in the casino and punched your window instead of his, or did you stiff the dealer/staff.

Since nothing was stolen this probably wrong place wrong time

BTW better get those tags, and lic fixed cause if you are out on the road they can impound the car if there are multiple tix for this. You really don't want the hassle for a freaking 50.00 piece of paper.

Are any of the other players lumberjacks?
