Break in #3 - *PICS*
Sunday, May 07, 2006 5:40 PM
So I come out Tuesday morning to this ....











So basically I am not impressed. This is the 3rd time in 3 years, my insurance company is not all that happy either.

Sadly I think this is it for me with the whole "tuner scene", it seems to me that no matter what you do to protect what you work hard for someone is going to come in and ruin it somehow.

And to think, they stole my deck (i still have the faceplate in the house) and the broke the amp trying to get unbolted from the seat. Morons.

:banghead:

It happens to most of us.
I'm on my second break in.
I didn't even bother telling insurance. They don't like my family hehe

One was shopping mall in the evening, and one was my g/f house at night.
I'm in Toronto, not too too far from you.

I don't know what to tell ya. Maybe lay low for now with the car.
It caused me to not invest so much into the audio anymore.
Hell, your guy was strong enough to break the plastic, my guys couldn't do it.
They took JUST the faceplate, too bad that the faceplate was worth 90% of the deck's price.

Sucks man
Hang in there

This has to be a location thing. I've never had any of my vehicles broken into.

Also on the whole faceplate thing. I don't think it stops anyone. I actually used the brackets that came with my pioneer so the faceplate can't be removed. Figured if they stole one part it doesn't do me a whole lot of good to have the other.

I'm also going to assume either this person knew you or has seen your setup. Your running pretty dark tint so there is a fairly low chance that someone walked by and happened to see the sweet system in your car.

not all that uncommon you can get faceplates cheap on ebay especially if its a popular deck.
why dont you just invest in a 2way lcd alarm as well as a spare battery

my driveway is nice and long (for a house in the city) with motion lights mounted high, and aimed on my car....... plus the alarm....... and the fact that its right under the bedroom window...... and the 2 houses on either side of me also have windows over looking my driveway...... would take a thief with balls of steel to break into it..... not that I have much in it to steal, my headunit is a few years old (5 or so).......

Heres what I do. Run a stock deck and make sure no aftermarket speakers show. Dont put any stickers on the outside of the car ever, and last but not least turn the stereo down a few minutes before you pull up to where you are going to park.

And if this still doesnt work, get a rottweiler to ride shotgun.

Tell the Insurance company to buy you a Glock instead of replacing the stereo and notify the police and tell them you will be executing the next person to break into your car.
