Break In :O

[Hotsauce]

Well, the Element has struck.

I returned to my truck tonight to find the drivers side window a pile of shards on the seat, and my GPS/radio gone from the dash.

As luck would have it, I had the 3 Milberts and the Tru out of the truck since I was redoing the setup. At least they didn't get those.

Seriously bummed now.

@#$!&%* Man am I sorry to hear that! I would completely lose my cool if someone broke into my VX or my house. Might even plan a hunting trip, to tell the truth! Is the insurance co going to help at all?

I have full glass coverage, and $1k deductable on any other damage.

I'm heading out today to see if I can find a glass shop who can get a window today. Our window doesn't match any other Zu by chance does it?

Hunting trip? Believe me, if I knew who did this I'd skin them with a potato peeler.

Sorry to hear that... lowlife sons a beeotches!

I used to install these things in cars with alarms in the 80s called a pain generator. It was a small siren looking thing about 2" long that got mounted in the car, and it emitted a 3K hertz 130db sound!! You could NOT stand being next to the thing when it was going off!! The point of this was, the thief simply gave up because of the noise and pain. Loved it!

However, they banned them after a year or so because they could actually damage the eardrum.

Too bad you didn't have one of those in there... I hate thieves!!!

That might be too good for a thievin' POS...sorry to hear about that.

I live in a building with a known (to me) theivin' POS...the other day he was complaining about two of "his" bikes being "stolen". When I asked him "weren't they already stolen?"...(indicating that I had a pretty good idea of how they came to be in his posession) he replied, "no, I found them".
My reply was, "looks like somebody found them back"...conversation over.

-beej.

After a conversation like that, and the subsequent event, I'd start to wonder if it hadn't been something of an inside job. Maybe that was his way of getting in the last word?

I take it there are no surveillance cameras in the parking lots?

I must not of explained myself well enough...the bikes in question (I put "his" in quotation marks to indicate that they were most likely stolen by him in the first place) were sitting behind the house...& no, there are no cameras.
I live in a low rent part of town by choice...to me, it's just a place to sleep & keep my stuff.
Re-read my first post, I can see where the confusion lies now & I'll edit it to clarify.

Sauce, sorry this went astray...

Some people's kids! Sorry to hear the bad news! I hope the insurance takes care of ya!

Ouch thats gotta hurt! Really sorry to hear about the smashed window, riding around with a taped-up window really blows. (I know this from experience). One more thing---THREE milberts! DAMN. Doubt they would have any idea what to do with one of those even if they got their hands on them! Might be a blessing in disguise, bose is coming out with a H/U that plays high-def audio! Normally i am not a huge fan of bose car audio, but your analog setup just screams for sacd!
