Yea, my car died on thursday so i pushed it to my moms apt complex...... that night someone broke the driverside window and jacked my stuff...

tweeters, amp, and t-top bag.

they tore up the drivers side grill and broke it trying to get the speak out, tore the dash pad to hell but couldnt get it becuase of one screw nearest to the window...

didnt take the headunit even though the tool to take it outa the cage was in the center console...

tried my subs and got all but three screws out and bent the mounting flange b4 they gave up....

dammit man... pics of how my car used to look are on my cardomain site

 

lemme ask...you go around the city blasting your system? do you have tint/shade on your hatch? All things you should think of before installing a system....Dont feel too bad Ive had a whole car stolen, a hit and run on my caddy recently almost got killed installing my system the ******* took off my car...I say dont sweat the small ****...Still sux though.

 

yea i figure i still got most of my system..... so i came out lucky..

i have like 5% tint and i dont usually bump my system cuz i get haed aches from it... lol


i think it was bums from the woods near the complex that stole the stuff to pawn.. stupid bums

 

No security system?

 

unfortunatley not..... although im not sure it woulda helped in this case... the problem that DOA'd my car causing me to leave it at my moms was a total power failure due to one of the fusable links burning up.... i had no power to the radio, gauges, etc

 

my question is why was ur faceplate on ur head unit?????

 

y would he need to worry bout his faceplate. he still has that.

 

when did i say that was on there......


i had half a mind to bring tha face, my tools, my school ****e, and my book full of cds when i left the car.....

besides you cant see the face thru the window.... the tint is too dark and the angle is wrong to see thru the windshield

 

Why would the thief take it if the face plate wasn't on?

 

all u need to do is get another faceplate.... but the point i was making is that the tools to take it out were right there

 

t-top bag!?!?!? thats just a pain in the ***.

 

well i didnt ever use it.... too lazy but yea it'd have been nice if they'd have left it

 

so... what I want to know, is how'd they know you had a system? maybe it was the dark tint that gave it away?

sorry to hear it man...

they stole your tweeters? wtf... tweeters are the cheapest part of a sound system!

they took your audiobaun amp? and are your subs still usable... I dunno why they'd have such a hard time taking it out...

I also agree that an alarm probably wouldn't have stopped them...

if I have to leave my car somewhere strange, I put my t-top bag over my amps and subs, you cannot see that along with my dark tint... pull the faceplate and the radar detector, and I'm off...

if I take it to a shop that will have it overnight, I pull the amp and subwoofer box, (big pain--but not as much as getting my stuff stolen)

have you EVER 'bumped' your system at this apartment complex? if not, I wouldn't be suprised if this was an aquantence of yours... friend or not.

if you ever play your stereo when you're working on it... you're basically inviting thieves to come steal it sometime.. and seeing you push it into the complex, they KNOW your alarm wouldn't work... so it was ****** and grab time...

hopefully you'll do what everyone else does once they get broken into... and that's get a 2-way pager alarm...

you should check a dozen pawn shops around town and see if you can't find some of your stuff... Austin is so big that I would have one hell of a time finding my stuff... maybe you'd have better luck...
