I live in San Francisco, CA with no garage so I am charging my I-Miev on the sidewalk outside of our house. This morning (at 1230am) I forgot to lock my door (yes my carelessness!) and someone just got into my car and went through everything inside. The thief took a garage remote belongs to my parent's house and my I-Miev charger (2014 model with 8A or 12A selectable switch)!!
I immediately went to my local police station and filed a police report. I also called a dealership in Oakland and they quoted me $1,423 + tax for a new charger kit!
The lucky thing is a few hours later, my wife found the charger separated from the bag lying at my neighbor's porch! Apparently, the thief took the charger out of the car but did not know its value or what to do with it, so he/she decided to dump it close by our house. I am so relieved! Even though I use a Level 2 charging station most of the time, it's nice to have a spare inside the car.
I notice that the I-Miev does not make any sound when I press the "lock" button on the remote. I will make sure that it's locked before I walk away from the car next time.
