Sorry for the long post but I thought this should be shared...

Monday nite I had to take my wife to the ER of Banner Desert for severe stomach pains. We arrived there around 3:00 pm and began our long wait in the waiting room. While there I heard some people talking about a vehicle that had been broken into. One of them said a small blue boxy vehicle which immediately sparked my interest. I walked out to my parking spot , not but maybe 7 spots from the front door to find my side window blown out. I immediately went to the security officer to let him know what had happened but this wasn't new news to him. Apparently he sat there and WATCHED IT HAPPEN. I asked if he said or did anything to stop them and he told me there were three guys what was he supposed to do...I offered many suggestions to no prevail, his job as he told me was to deter theft and he did everything he could.

So after my 10 hour wait in the waiting room to have my wife seen I got to determine what was stolen from my vehicle..Some of you may know that I work at Rockford Fosgate and have quite a bit of equipment in my vehicle...I will list what was stolen just in case someone approaches you with a too good to turn down deal on any of my old equipment...

1- T20001BD AMP
1 - LA1.300.4 AMP
1 - RAVDVD2 - CD/DVD/7IN/MP3 PLAYER
1- OMNIFI DIGITAL MEDIA PLAYER
1 - GLOCK 17 9mm
4- BLACK XB HEADRESTS WITH 7" MONITORS IN THEM...YES THEY TOOK THE WHOLE HEADRESTS....
And since they couldn't get the subs out they decided to just destroy them...

The vehicle has been dusted for prints and there is a full investigation ongoing..any info would be greatly appreciated if anyone hears anything...I have serial numbers for all equipment and most have been altered in some way to match the vehicle paint or something...Once again any info anyone happens to come across would be greatly appreciated, I like to see someone go to jail for this one...

:doh: WTF!!!
The guy just sat and watched all that stuff walk away from your car? That sucks..

Not only that but I have two gouges in the back panels that look like screw drivers marks and the dash is absolutely destroyed...it's at a body shop right now and for estimates on the dash and body panels...

oh I would be so going after the hospital for lack of security. I can't believe he just watched them take ALL of that equipment out of your car and did nothing. I've had 3 systems stolen so far in my life, my next one i am going to have covered on my insurance just in case and I'm getting the top of the line alarm with a camera that will send a pic of inside my car to my remote. I'm tired of peoples lack of respect for other peoples stuff.

Man this thread has got me hot now just thinking about that, the fact that they stole your gun is pretty scary too.

Thats no good. I would have been kicken some security gaurd a$$.

Hope they catch those Pieces of $%^#.

good luck to ya.

That just great -- Barney Fife sits there watching your car being stripped and he
didn't even call the cop's. He reminds me of one of the so called security guards
that used to be at my wifes old job. How is your wife - is she ok? The car and it's
belongings can alway's be replaced, but not the love in your life.


Take Care
Ray

The wife is going to be ok, thanks for asking...and you are right, all the equipment will be replaced I would just like to see both the security guard and the theives get what's coming..

I think the security guard may have been in on it :lalala:
Just a thought..

Too bad your Glock was in the car and not on your hip. My condolences.

The wife is going to be ok, thanks for asking...and you are right, all the equipment will be replaced I would just like to see both the security guard and the theives get what's coming..


Glad to hear the wife is doing ok.. Sitting there waiting on the hospital to do something sucks. It was a 2 hour wait for x-rays for my wrist.. gawd..

and Yea.. I would be definatly getting that pos security job persons name.

The wife is going to be ok, thanks for asking...and you are right, all the equipment will be replaced I would just like to see both the security guard and the theives get what's coming..

I'm glad to hear your wifes ok -- and yes they do need to get whats coming to them
-- Scumm lowlifes -- :gun:

just proves that you can not have anything nice anymore. I cant believe the security there, that is sad for a hospital.

If it was parked near the door, perhaps a security camera caught the whole thing on tape.

Does your box have a security system?

Great. Now there are theives walking around with a stolen gun. You know what happens with those, innocent people get shot. GREAT. Sorry to hear about your ____ getting jacked. A lot of stuff happens in hospital parking lots, someone dented my dads side case on his motorcycle (wtf??) I guess trying to steal something. Also I will add that this proves my point of getting a decent security system before modding your car at all. :doh: I'd have that security guard reviewed to see if maybe he wasn't in on it.

Sorry to hear about the theft, i would go after the security guard. Glad to hear your wife is okay.

:doh:

makes me feel so good....and i have to work tonight! i always see those security people riding around but they arent going to stop anything from happening and they know that they will continue to come around.

im so sorry to hear about that. i would definately complain. i realize he may not have been able to do anything physically to scare them but hello...police?

The vehicle is secured with a Clifford Matrix 3.5x security system, but the two-way remote doesn't work well inside the brick walls of a hospital...as for the security tape, the detective has told me the tape doesn't show undisputable evidence against any of them, including the security guard...another dead end...

Sorry to hear that this happened...and to think "security" does nothing...My wife worked at a hospital and whenever someones car was either being vandalized, stolen, or broken into, we had good ole "security" to call the person that owned the car to let them know what was happening...
They wouldn't do ANYTHING else BUT that.
Rediculous....

geez man, that is severly f-ed up man, your ride isnt even safe in a hospital anymore, i gotta invest in a security system now, from hearing this,
and btw glad the wife is ok, life over material my man

I rarely recommend suing anyone, but in this case I think you should explore the possibility of suing the hospital and/or the security company that employed the security guard for negligence. I'm not sure that they are obligated to provide much of any security, but if they decide to do so, it is required to meet certain standards...

Your choice, but I would try to get some local news coverage on the very poor response by the security guard and, in turn, the hospital for accepting that sort of performance a "OK."

I'd start with the local newspaper, and move on to local TV stations if I had to.

(Yes, I've done such in the past myself when going into battle with a large outfit. I did a 'phone interview with a local newspaper reporter, and she set up sending a photog to take some 'interest' shots (and yes I ended up in the paper). Eventually even the Feds got involved and THAT problem is now taken care of... It really does help, sometimes, to expose this sort of thing to the public. So long as the Hospital can keep it quiet, nothing will change.)

Welcome to phoenix... land of theiving a$$holes. Anyone wanna go get their CCW permit with me?

^^ Randy and I have been talking about doing that for the longest time. We should all set up a date and do it. In the meantime, I'll be caught with it before I'm caught without it.

Glad to hear the wife is OK, it really sucks being there for so many hours.

Don’t rule out the security guard set you up,

Sorry to hear about the box. But glad to hear the wife is fine.

He just watched ! what the hell is he good for ? so if someone was being attacked he would just sit, there what a lazy.... . I'm sorry to hear that, it must realy suck having been so worried about you're wife and to have that happen on top of it.
Good luck with everything

omg thats bull____!! i feel for you man.glock too? i despise thiefs with all my heart and soul.i have a glock too,glock 22,to keep them away.
well good luck with the investigation i hope they find em...

I can get you on tv...I've got the cameras available to do so...maybe we can submit it to the news stations if you want. That really blows about your car! Stupid wanna be po-po watching your car get jacked...what an a$$hole. Sue his ___! Glad to hear the wife is ok!

I immediately went to the security officer to let him know what had happened but this wasn't new news to him. Apparently he sat there and WATCHED IT HAPPEN. I asked if he said or did anything to stop them and he told me there were three guys what was he supposed to do...I offered many suggestions to no prevail, his job as he told me was to deter theft and he did everything he could. I'd love to know what all he did. Did he write down a license number of the getaway car? Did he provide a description to the police? Did he call the police? Or did he just sit on his fat ___ and pick his nose?

Almost sounds like he's in on it or getting paid off. He should not be allowed to keep his job. Inform the security company he works for. Inform the hospital. And I agree with informing the media. I'm sure they'd love to hear about this apparently non-isolated incident.

Glad the wife is okay.

I do appreciate all the suggestions from everyone....including the tv coverage, but I do have a lawyer that is going to help me make sure these boneheads get what they deserve...it's going to cost me up front but at this point I would like to make Mr. Security Guys live as difficult as I can...By the way I do know his name and he did give a description of the vehicle.."it was a truck" "uh black I think" and his description of the suspects was "they were dark skinned males"....this dude's an absolute genius....nothing get's past him....

anyways..

Thanks again to all....

You know that RJ and I live out here in that area, and we have alot of new construction going on. I'd say, we give him a shovel and start digging a foundation for himself.
