Well about two weeks ago my box was broken into. it happened in my driveway while i was sleeping. several things were stolen and window was busted. called the popo and the geko theb while waiting for the first available appointment which wasn't until the tuesday after columbus day it was keyed front to back side to side. i wound up paying two deductibles for the repairs that part was/is crappy. but int he end i am a happy camper as the car has a better than factory paint job and the broken stuff inside was replaced so all is well and i have my baby back.

 

that's really ____ty, is your car near a window? I'd invest in a security system for your xB or set up a decent webcam pointing at your xB and have it recording all night long. I've heard stories of people who have their car broken into while in their driveways at night and it's often a crime that gets repeated of the thief isn't caught.

 

yeah i have two double windows one on the driveway and another just to the side of it with the front door in between. kinda tapped out right now but an alarm for the car and some video security for the house are in the works

 

get some rottweilers and some pitbulls in their too and make them vicious.

 

I have 4 security cameras around my property, aimed at the street/drive/pool/shop, you can get security cams from radio shack that will record, sams also sells an item that lets you record onto a 100 gig hard drive and view it over the net

 

What a bummer. I had my side window busted out and I was still finding glass a year latter.

 

back glass busted out, still finding large chunks of glass, though hopefully soon I'll have that fixed when I gut my car

 

well, i am glad to hear that everything worked out okay. i have heard a lot of horror stories about cars and xbs in general being broken into and it makes me cringe to think that someone would do that.

 

I had my chevy suburban broken into, they got the mother load . All JL amps
and speakers,monitors, ps2,cds,dvds... I couldn't fit that dam thing in my garage! I had statefarm and they replaced everything and then some. Couldn't afford the GAS
but the good news is we went to war 5 years ago and we should see a dramatic decrease in prices! YEAH RIGHT!!! Well I sold my big box that took $107 a tank to fill up and got my 06 xB. Now I can practicully park the xB sideways in the garage!

 

I've gotten lucky, I've had my back window busted out of the box but only because the illegals thought it smart to weed eat the gravel, and I've still got my gas guzzlin beast, and the only way anyone will get that title is when they pull it from my cold dead hands, to bury me in my truck!

 

just keep your fingers crossed that they dont come back to attack the fresh paint :-(

 

^^^^exactly what i am concerned about right now. cuz man it looks good. better than it did the day i bought it actually(although there are a few pet peevy things i gotta get taken care of)

 

car thieves will wait 2-3 weeks for you to replace what they stole, then they come steal your new stuff....


seen it happen many times...

 

^^^^me too i figure i'll wait a while to replace stuff for now it's stock again. going to get an alarm this weekend any suggested brands feature etc?

 

get tilt, glass break, and the loudest one on the market, and then have them make it louder

 

cool on features any body have a brand they like or don't?

 

everyone has a different brand they like, do research, not on here, go around to a few install shops and ask which is best, and which has the best features that it either comes with or you can add later, such as rain sensors that roll up the windows when its raining, or tempature sensors that roll them down a little when its hot out

 

wow didn't even know they did that

 

i wish my car was keyed front to back. i'd get my custom paintjob i've wanted finally , oh and clear bra the **** too

 

that happened to me in my Hardbody...they came and popped my passenger keyhole out, stole my two 12's and 1000 watt amp...got it all replaced and about 6 weeks later it happened again...i gave up after that...didnt even claim it...just said "you win"
