Car was broken into last night.

**BFPW** · 09-15-2010, 07:14 AM

Just took the radio. They didn't break the glass to get in, nor did they even bother to unscrew anything. Just ripped it all out. Those motherf'rs.

It was a Kenwood that the previous owner had installed.

Bad people will steel anything. I once had a spare tire stolen from the back of a PU. I went to the junk yard and bought a POS rim and tire. You know the rest of this story.

I don't.

Crackhead tried to steal a $90 Dual stereo from daughter's Corolla. It was so secure that they tore up the entire dash but never got the head unit, so they stole the faceplate. I think I might be better off to make it easy to steal next time.

I know how you feel. I had a car stolen out of my driveway. The idiots got busted like 6 hours later at 7-11 for tryong to steal a bag of chips. Not the brightist star in the sky. what really pissed me off was not having any way to collect for the damage they did to the car. about 1000 dollars worth.

CRACKHEADS SUCK

sorry for your trouble!!!

Were your doors unlocked? You're lucky, I know from experience that a radio is cheaper and easier to replace than a new top or a window. Hopefully they didn't damage the center dash console very much.

Couple years ago in a gated community with security, I had some crackhead slash my top from window to window, and judging by the footprints on the trunk, he had climbed in head first between the top spars, broke my cup holder and made off with less than a dollar in random change. My radio was still there, my sunglasses and bunch of random CDs and things were still in the passenger seat where I left them, but he got all my shiny change...I didn't know crack was that cheap. The doors weren't locked and my car was bone stock back then.

Cost me a new freaking top for all that. I thought leving the doors unlocked was best, maybe I should start leaving them open instead.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Did you leave the face plate on your stereo?

You mean this happened with the doors unlocked?

Damn, I'm going to have to start leaving my windows down.

Ever since my Integra got stolen (the thieves put 2,100 miles on it in three weeks before the cops noticed it on the street, totaled it in a chase, and charged the one guy they caught with "unauthorized use of a motor vehicle), I have had no problem whatsoever with the idea of shooting a car thief. Well, one problem: I'd rather beat them to death with a baseball bat.

Yes, doors were locked. And they tore through the top to unlock the doors. The officer was actually the one who spotted the tear.

Yes I did. And from now-on, I'm going to leave it off. AND I'm going to get a padlock/chain to secure the back of the stereo to the car itself so they won't be able to pull it out if it happens next time. I did this to my home computer and flat screen monitor after my neighbor's apartment was broken into. I just bolted all of it to my huge table with a glass top, so if they want the computer they'll have to take the whole table.

I have a Louisville Slugger in my car behind the passenger seat. If I had walked out while they were jacking with my car, I don't know what I would do.

Only problem, he may turn the bat on you since he's already in the car.

He never even saw it. He didn't even look for anything in the car either, other than the stereo. I have a really nice knife and a ton of quarters in the center console. He didn't take any of it. That knife could easily have been pawned for $20 or so.

This happened at home? What part of NRH do you live?
