    Theft

    well it happened. Last night someone broke into my VX and stole some readily available items. The outside sensor light on my house went off twice. Both times I went out with my spotlight and searched. Nothing. This morning went out to get my old regestration out of the glove box because it was time to renew...and my whole automobile portfolio was gone, along with two pairs of binoculars, a lensatic compass worth $600, and my Axe Phoenix body spray.

    My automobile portfolio contained all the manuals on my VX as well as all the manuals on my stereo system, winch, amp, and a set of $80 tire deflators ...you can even screw them on the tire stems and drive and they deflate to desired pressure and then stop deflating. I hope they open the lensatic compass and the radiation makes all their teethe and hair fall out.

    bad things come in 3's my wife says.

    1) went to work last night and found out I was being laid off
    2) my wife slammed her hand in the car door
    3) my VX was broken into and things stole from me


    if anyone has any extra VX manuals laying around I would greatly appreciate it???

    Bummer SPAZZ, I hate thieves especially when they grab stuff they will never need and are important to you. Hope you find a new job easily and get your life back on track.

    What the heck is a lensatic compass?
    Radiation? $600? a compass WTF?

    Unhappy

    Spazz,
    Sorry to hear of your loss...btw there is a lesson to be learned here, NEVER leave Axe fragrances of any kind in your ride, shemale thieves are attracted to it from miles around.

    ..

    a lensatic compass has low levels of radiation in it that glows at night...so you never have to worry about seeing the compass if you are lost at night. It was mine from the Marine Corps..I can't replace it unless I find a military contact and get one that way. It is sealed and the case even says "warning, do not open" on it...so hopefully they are stupid and do it anyway.

    I'm curious if insurance would cover it? Would they give you enough to buy a new one and how would they go about pricing one if it is only military issue? I wheel with a bunch of military guys here if you need a military contact (I'm sure ya know someone though)

    Sorry to hear of all the bad news. Is it just me, or has anyone else never equated theft with Boise?




    Maybe the AXE will attrack some female police officers.

    Funny thing is, the first time I read it, after the funky Compass, I thought the "Phoenix Axe" was gonna be some special $1000 axe for chopping down titanium telephone poles or something.

    Scott, most off road shops should carry them. There are several differant types and they all run about the same $$.

    ...

    no known damage to VX, but would like to know how they got around my factory alarm and it wasn't thru the rear door. They opened my ash tray which was full of quarters dimes and nickles and left it open without taking any of it. They didn't take the detachable face plates off of either head unit, my 3million candle power spotlight, Gerber shovels, Warn snatch block, amp, screwdrivers and pair of dikes that were laying on the floorboard on passengers side, fuzz buster, CB, nor the tools,rock climbing equipment, or sleeping bags.

    Just the two pair of expensive small binoculars, Compass(which I hope they open and drink fluid=p ), Auto portfolio, deflators, and my Axe body spray ... they left the cap in the glove box of the body spray and one of the Bino caps. What am I gonna do with one bino cap???.

    I have the 300 win mag locked cocked and ready to rock if they come back.

    Why didn't your car alarm go off? Maybe they have a key? The thieves are meth heads and just wanted your registration so they can rip you off again. watch out for identity theft.
