Just read this, and wanted to share my experience with a STUPID person who broke into my car(let me also note, it was obviously a girl)
Stupid # 1: Left about $300 worth of cd's sitting in the back seat. Stupid # 2: Didn't bother to take the bank statement I had on my front seat. Stupid # 3: Didn't take the $30 I had in my glove box(emergancy money) Stupid # 4: DID TAKE the blue hooded jacket in the back seat next to the cd's. Stupid # 5: DID TAKE the tanning lotion in the glove box, but left the $30 and the tanning goggles. Someone sure has odd priorities when it comes to theft. Sorry to hear your theif wasn't as stupid as mine Howdie :( |

My mum had her car stolen a while back. In it she had some fairly "mum" type tapes. Unfortunately it was found burnt out on a rough housing scheme.
When the police finally caught the guy that they thought had stolen it, they found on his person a "Peter Skellern sings the songs of Fred Astaire" tape, for which he had absolutely no explanation. Case closed.:big_smile: |

well they did leave my wallet, but it was hidden in my console. i will not be leaving it in there anymore, seeing as how anyone with lock picking knowledge could break into my car and steal it. cutting away my door handle is already taken care of. bastards.
i'm going to look into the insurace claim. if it's covered i'm going to take the money and make a down payment on a new car, because replacing the door, getting the air conditioner fixed, fixing the brakes, and getting a new rotor would be a hefty down payment on a 2005 4-runner. people really are stupid. i'm giving the serial number on my stereo to the cops so that if it's taken to a pawn shop i'll (hopefully) get it back. -------------- if you get me started on quentin tarantino films, chances are you won't be able to shut me up. excuses are really good for making you fat. margarine is a liar who announces, "i am butter!" |

I had my car broke into.....in my drive way.......at my house....less than 50ft where I sleep. Part of it was my fault......I left the windows part of way down......but jeez its right by where I sleep. Got my stereo and my cds and tried getting into my trunk for my 2 12s and amp. However a P.O.S car has it advantages....they couldn't get into it. I never could prove it but i think i knew who did it.
Month ago my back passenger window was broke out, and all that was stolen was the change in my consol....about 3 bucks worth of quaters, dimes nickles pennies. They could have taken my 2 cd cases full of cds, my reebok bag(50bucks) I had clothes in it, pair of shoes shorts etc. But all they wanted was the damn change.......they did lock the door back for me though. I think it was a homeless guy. Thank god I don't go down town much. So I know what its like Your next cd player though i'd get one with a detachable face....if possible........and put a car alarm sticker on the drivers side door. It may help detour. -------------- My drinking squad, has a cheerleading problem!! |

oh it was a detachable face. i was robbed between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. — i usually only take it off and bring it in when i'm in for the night. i just talked to the police though — i gave them the serial number so if the bastard tries to pawn it he's busted and i get my stereo back. always keep the serial numbers people. now if i had just engraved my license number on it...
crispy, i needed that, thank you:big_smile: -------------- if you get me started on quentin tarantino films, chances are you won't be able to shut me up. excuses are really good for making you fat. margarine is a liar who announces, "i am butter!" |

No problem, Howdie. I am truly sorry that this happened to you. I hate when bad things happen to good people. I do understand your pissed-offness, I would be too. It sucks having to work so hard to EARN the right to own that stereo, and then somebody comes and STEALS it away from you. It just ain't fair. But remember that life is not about stereos and other material stuff. When you die it doesn't matter what stereos you have, it is how you live your life. So don't let this incident get you to down, and keep on living the good life.

Now, the purpose of the detachable face is to detach it when not in the auto. I say that I as remember that my detachable face cd player is all nice and attached as we speak so dont listen to me

yeah well...i maintain that it is not my fault that my stereo was stolen. not many people expect their car to be broken into on a high-traffic street while it's still light outside.
crispy, you're right. what happened could've been a lot worse, and in the end, this isn't even going to matter. it's a stereo, not a life. -------------- if you get me started on quentin tarantino films, chances are you won't be able to shut me up. excuses are really good for making you fat. margarine is a liar who announces, "i am butter!" |

Did not mean to seem like it was your fault at all. Just joking. What is weird is that alot of car break-ins, that I know of, happened on a busy street (mostly during the day). Alot of idiots out there
Several yrs ago I saw a device that was made to go over a car stereo and make it look like a cheap piece of junk so it would deter people from breaking in to get the stereo. My luck, they would take the good one |

it's cool, i knew you were joking i'm just still kinda feeling the sting of having my space violated. there really are a lot of idiots in the world. sometimes i wonder if smart people are actually the minority, and a lot of the times, i come to the conclusion that they are. if by the grace of god they recover my stereo, i can guarantee the face will never be left on in my absence again. i have learned my lesson. the junk facade is not a bad idea if you don't have a detachable face or can't remember to bring it in. i wonder if the idiots who steal know about these...-------------- if you get me started on quentin tarantino films, chances are you won't be able to shut me up. excuses are really good for making you fat. margarine is a liar who announces, "i am butter!" |

Somewhat, also helps cut through whatever liquid body fat you get on you. Liquid body fat is difficult to get of otherwise, it trys to sink into your pores and stuff like that.
