That sux, everytime I hear about someone's car being broken into it just makes me want to go outside and sit next to my car with a shotgun. Hope the cops bust who ever stole your stuff.

;alfjbhn;oiehrg that's just upsetting. though here, i have a good idea of who keeps breaking into people's vehicles... and his method... he see's the people use it while they are pulling up the driveway. my fix... 23% window tints and system shutdown before i get close to home...

even then, i'd like to get one of those car alarms that has those wireless transmitters so you can have a little alarm pager on your keychain or whatever... i read somewhere about them but i've never been able to find one like it. i was thinkin a pager thats like an alarm clock when someone broke into my vehicle. then i can go outside and beat the crap out of them.

that sucks man. my advice on audio equipment, get your windows tinted, so you can't really see if you got anything work breaking into and stealing.

also, for all you guys out there with audio sponsor decals on your cars. you are just screaming "i have top quality expensive audio equipment in my car, come and get it as soon as i leave!"

but anyway, sorry, sad to hear, move on and trust that karma will bring retribution to the jerk who jacked your box.

i think if you got the money, they have window sensor, once the window is breaks then alarm goes off but it might cost some $

that would be a standard to what i know with any aftermarket alarms.

i'm tlaki about something that will notify you Via keychain or pager with a loud alarm clock like noise aslong as you're within 50-100 yards of your vehicle. meaning you've got enough time to go whoop some butt.

Do a Google search for "pager car alarm" and you'll get about 590,000 choices.

All the bastards did to my box, was destroy the ac/heater control bezel and destroy the stock stereo.



that is my solution.

I think they're just known and 2 way alarms. Pretty standard on alarms these days from CC and BB etc etc. The more expensive units even have little leds that show you exactly what door/window has been breached, too.

stories like this make me cringe when i leave the box in a parking lot. aftermarket Security systems are sweet, but ill let the thieves gets a load of the razor blades under my amp, behind my sub, and along the sides of my HU. if they have any fingers left, they can have my stuff.

PS
I was totally inspired by saw..."yes there will be blood"

you actually have razor blades attached to your stuff? How do you attach it and what do you do when you have to mess with your own stuff? thats pretty interesting, I never thought of that...

Excellent! Good idea.

If only you could put poison on them... like something to put a thief under, so you can find him zonked out when you return. They way you can beat him, and hand him over to the PD.

You can find two paging systems everywhere these days. If you need a stock stereo, hit me up. I have a 05 MP3 scion radio sitting doing absolutely nothing in my garage.

You better be careful. I saw on teh local news that a thief won a lawsuit because he broke his back while robbing a house. If the thief has any brains and any money, he can find a lawyer to take his case against you.
