***EDIT** I dont' know why, but somehow this thread that SHOULD BE IN THE ARCHIEVES got brought back... so thanks for all the comments, but this was 2 YEARS AGO! **/**


Don't really know what other forum to post this in. BUT some _____ ___ theif busted out the rear driver side 1/4 glass on the door last night, went through my car like a texas tornado and grabbed a bunch of my stuff. Digital camera, subs, mail and old school records with SSN, my key ring with all my old keys on it...

AND THEY STOLE MY SCION PEN AND SHIRT!, if I ever see some bastard wearing a blue scion shirt around my house... ITS ON!

thats really sucks...

but one thing... why is your digital in your car??? that's not very smart...


anyways. Some freaking punks broke into my moms escape a month after we got it. You could tell they were amateurs because they tried to get the stereo and failed miserably. So they took her toll change.... Over 800 dollars in damages (window, dash damage and the head unit) all for a few bucks in quarters...

Worst of all, the doors were unlocked, all they had to do was give it a tug..

There are some dumbass people in this world that have no regard for other peoples ____....

:( Damn that really blows man. Sorry to hear that.

thats really sucks...

but one thing... why is your digital in your car??? that's not very smart...



I needed it to today to go take some pictures for a friend, so I put it in the door pocket last night so I wouldn't forget it. They the spare batteries for it too.

When my roommates car was left unlocked a few weeks ago they took his check book and wrote over $3000 in checks. Now leaving your check book in the car is dumb. Then again, I had a box of old school records, some of which I'm sure had my ssn and it was gone through, I have no idea, but I'm already locking down all my accounts for identitiy theft.

So in my neighborhood, 6 weeks, 6 cars entered between 2-5 AM. 5 previous ones where unlocked, mine they wanted something...The people doing this have never tried to take anything masculine either. They looked through my CD's took nothing, head unit not touched, custom wheels, on the car, sun glasses not taken. Other cars that have been busted into had the keys sitting in the drivers seat and were unlocked, they just took the womens sun glasses and change out of the change thing. Though whoever it was wanted my old sub boxes that were custom for my other car.

Wrong! Having a camera in your car at all times is a very smart idea. I keep one in each of my cars and thev've come in handy more than once, believe me... :idea:

Yup I keep a camera with me at all times also. But I never leave it in the car when I get out of it.

you said you told your accounts tabout it but did you contact your ss office to put a hold on your number?

you said you told your accounts tabout it but did you contact your ss office to put a hold on your number?

Not yet, but it's on my list. First thing I did this morning was print off a list from a identity fraud help site that I had book marked. I've been dealing with the police, neighbors, banks, roommates, and _____ing about it online. So far everything is cool...but it's only been a few hours.

It sucks that the police can't really do much, since there is so much of this and its everywhere. A few hundred in loss here and there doesn't really mean that much in the grand scheme of things. Looks like its up to street justice on this one. :twisted: Though they did say that they would get more involved if my identity is being used. 3 hours of sleep isn't enough to deal with this...

:( david really sorry to hear about your theft. If there is any thing I can do to help please let me know.

Victor

I ordered parts through your parts dept, when I asked for the Scion service manager gave me to you I think...so sorry for the confusion. I'll be in sometime next week to pick up parts.

That sux, I feel your pain. Some little bastards did the same to my Echo, same window even. Luckily, I came around the corner before they had gotten inside and snagged all my stuff. And My digital camera was the one thing that worried me the most! Now I never leave it in the car, it's always with me. At least with the Echo, I got into the habit of locking crap in the trunk, no such luck on the xB. I wish they would make a locking storage area either underthe passenger seat or in place of the lunchbox cooler in back

If you want to have a camera in your car for quick pics, I suggest buying a one-use film camera for that...

Dude! I feel your pain. I had my sport utility stolen last year and them fockers stole my rims and stereo system. My ride didn't feel the same so I sold it. It was a nice ride too. The cops were not much help too. However, you are taking the right steps to protect yourself from being an identity theft victim by contacting the major credit bureaus to place a fraud alert. Contact your bank and get a police report. I hate thiefs! They totally suck and like what everyone has said in the past. ....'what goes around, comes around.' Them fools will pay for stealing your stuff! I have placed a 'curse' on my victims. hehehehheheeheeheeeheehe :twisted:
Good luck dude and peace out.

Then put your camera on your keychain, DOH! :shock:



If you are going to keep something in the car, make sure it can't be seen. Every car in the lot was not broken into, just yours. They walked around, looked at the cars, picked one, grabbed and got on. If they did not see anything in your car they would have busted into someone elses that looked like it had a better stash.

Put it in your glove box, under the seats (lots of room there), in the storage in back or in the secret xb hidey holes. Taillight access panels, shhhh.

That blows. I had my Civic stolen last year (almost a year to the date). I park outside and downtown Milwaukee in a private lot. There have been three break-ins in the last week or two: both on Civics, and one Civic was broken into twice!

Theft sucks. Can't have anything nice without some _______ trying to take it.

I can top all of your stories. I had a 93 GSR that got broken into at my work. I put an alarm on it, then two weeks later a little system and rims. About a month later it got stolen and stripped. Then I bought a 95 GSR. It was broken into 3 times. The first time it was stolen they took the factory rims and blew the motor. The second time it got stolen they stripped it down to the carpet. All the times the 2nd GSR got stolen I had alams in the car and they were bypassed. It really does suck and now I have issues getting insurance.

Damn that sucks... I carry a digital camera with me at all times too, now I think I'll put it somewhere else... Well good luck on getting some of your stuff back,
maybe somebody on here can help you attain a Scion Pen and Shirt at least...

always keep a cheap disposable camera in your car. In case you get in an accident you can take pictures of your damage and the other parties damage to thier vehicle, for proof to the insurance adjuster. If there are any kind of damages get a police report, this will save you so much hassel with the insurance companies.


Deputy Dawg :shock:

or in my case if you run into stars all the time, and you like to take pictures with them... I'm starting a collection... (why not)...

all thought i am all for a good a$$ wopping ..... member everyone will answer for what they do :wink:

But till then i Have a Glock 27 if you want to borrow it :twisted:

This is the reason I got the audiovox 2-way alarm and a baseball bat by my door.... and soon to be conceled handgun :x ahh I Love Texas.


Sorry for your loss bud, but it will all come back around to the jackasses that jacked you.

Don'y really know what other forum to post this in.

im always sorry to hear about some punkass theives that have not concern for other peoples stuff, where about do u live? mostlikly it is someone u might know, most of the time it is... but in your case, it might just be random because u said other cars got broken into.... theives suck ___.
another thing, i kno its cool to have sites like this (sorta comes in handy when u need to talk to people who are sorta in the same boat) and sorta braging about what u got and stuff but i duno about showin' off pics and the stuff that u got in it cuz some punkass might of seen your car before or acually kno where u live and try to take your ____. maybe im just parinoid.. just my .02

Thanks for all the feed back and comments. I'm going back to throw away cameras for all my photography for some time since I don't plan on buying a digital again any time soon. I'll just have my pictures developed on photo CD's if I really want them in digital format.

Since this happened I've taken many steps to better protect myself, as well as my roommates who all also have nicer cars. I live in a kinda upper class neighborhood, 4 guys in a small house so rent gets divided up pretty good. My thought, nicer area= less crime, but so far I've had more problems here than in anywhere else I've ever lived. I grew up down in So Cal never had anything happen, moved up here, all my life I've never had anything stolen til I moved here. Anyways, after I locked down my bank accounts, took steps to prevent identity theft, got a police report, etc ,etc. I now have a two way alarm, with paging and remote kill switch. I'm also installing full survallance system and lets just say some other things that I don't want to advertise that will help in the stopping, catching, and harming of criminals who try and mess with my stuff or me. :twisted:

I feel your pain, they keyed my ride last weekend. They did 900.00 dollars damaged. Now I have to paint left fender,driver door and rear door. It will never be the same.

I needed it to today to go take some pictures for a friend, so I put it in the door pocket last night so I wouldn't forget it. They the spare batteries for it too.

Maybe your friend set you up... Grrr... Don't trust anybody! :evil:

Maybe your friend set you up... Grrr... Don't trust anybody! :evil:

He doesn't know where I live...so not that...

And I have one more thing to add to the list that I didn't think about til today, my leather coat. Nothing of valuein the pockets, but a $300 leather coat...damnit...

I have a couple ideas of who it was or who might be involved...if not mine then at least one of the other 7 car prowlings of my house in the past 2 months.

:no: Man, five cars in the same hood in a couple weeks...Thieves will always try to return to the same spot at least once. It's like a crack addict going back to the dealer. I'd bait his ___ with like 100 dollar bills taped to the side of the car, and stand behind a tree with my shotgun. :tap:

I get my 2006 BSP in two weeks, and I've been having nightmares about kids keying my sides, etc.

Sorry to hear what happened Dave.. I don't know why it always happens to you, but honestly it sounds like you need to either get rid of your car, move or both. Where ever you are living is not a safe haven for cars...

Holy crap this thread is like 2 years old...

Guess that means you solved your thief problem, eh? :rofl:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That sucks a$$........sorry to hear that.......wait.......the time stamp is all kinda wrong........

I love telling this story, mainly because it's about me and I can't laugh at others before I laugh at myself.


So my wife and go to the movies in Albany Oregon after a 9 holes of golf. We've got her brand spanken new (used once) golf clubs in the back of her old 4-runner. Clubs were just shy of 8 bills if I remember correctly. Here nor there..

Anyways, she heads in to get us a seat and I stand outside to have a quick smoke before the movie and I start hearing this car alarm go off aroud the back side (where I parked the car of course). So I take a couple more drags off my cig while listening to this bungholes alarm go off, thinking to myself, DAMN folks and their stupid alarms... So just outta curiosity, I poke my head around the building to see who's damn car is making all the racket. Low and behold, there's my wifes 4-runner, lights a flashing, glass all over the ground and the door wide open..

Long story short... the dumb ___ stole her backpack, which contained her school work. Luckily, they didn't have the time to finagle the clubs out the side door... Still makes me laugh at the though of me standing 30 feet from the car and letting someone have at....lol..... Funny now. wasn't then.

Story #2..

Living in Eugene.. 15 years ago or so. Apartment complex sends out a flier to all tenents..."NO CAR ALARMS TO BE ARMED ON PREMISES".. That very next weekend 14 cars were broken into, my 1974 Ford Courier included. Now who in their right mind breaks into a ford courier? Anyways.. Lost my stereo and speakers.. Worst part about about it was they left my doors open all night and it rained.. Really wet seats. So not only did I have to drive to work with no music.. I had to do it with a wet butt to boot..

I have a camera in my car....If you change the presser inside the car (break a window) it will snap off about 700 pics over about 15 min. So if you got your head in my car I can see who you are. And in my apt complex I have cameras at the entrance they are all high quality (good enough to take someone to court)

I am adding cameras that face the outside into the same system. And if I had the cash I can have it transmit the images over WI-FI to my apartment. But that’s saying I can get the signal.

I like the camera idea.......its a good way to catch them. TO bad there is no way to stop them before they get away,,,,,,

Can u give me some product names for the in car cameras, specs or some tips? I'm real worried about my new ride, needless to say. Any advice others have on different types of car alarm systems that they have, if they like them, etc. I'll do some research, but any thoughts would be appreciated. Thx

This is the biggest revival of a thread from the dead I've ever seen.

Yup. This one does seem to have arisen from the long dead, David. :shock:

That sux man!! Did u ever get ur stuff back, from insurance I mean? People just have no respect these days. And karma is biscuit!!

Oh no, my insurance company sucks. I have had 2 break ins at 2 different locations. Neither time did I ever recover any of the items or recieve ANY compensation from insurance. I have since bought aftermarket insurance and renters insurance to cover the holes in my policies.

Yup. This one does seem to have arisen from the long dead, David. :shock:
