Man that really sucks, sorry to hear about the break in.
Check with your homeowner's policy about the ipod, some insurance companies will cover home items if they are stolen from your car. Was it in the driveway or on the street? That makes a difference too.

Ebay is a good place to find used face plates and you might want to post in the For Sale section at elitecaraudio.com. There are a lot of people selling things over there, but be prepared to be accused of having a stolen radio if you are just looking for a face plate, lol.

Also, be aware that some criminals are brave (stupid) enough to return and try to steal the head unit after they have stolen the face. Just keep a look out. Good luck with everything.

Haha yah, looks like you've done a good job.

I'm going to start parking the car in the garage, previously my Dad was too lazy to move his work van that he uses maybe once every 3 months.

I have looked into getting an alarm, but it is a hefty price, $250 just for installation. Is it worth it, probably. I would like one with a remote starter though. Maybe once I get my faceplate back, my ipod (not sure if im going to buy another one), speakers and amplifer set up (I already bought my speakers) I'll start investing into my alarm.

Yah everythng should be back to normal. Just really mad becasue I'm now iPOD less, and $100 down for my faceplate. I think my Dad might feel bad and pay for the window.

Looking from the bright side, it might be a good thing, at least it happened before I got my system, so now I'm a lot more cautious, if I had gotten my system installed and it got jacked, I'm sure I'd be in a mental hospital right now haha

Sucks bro, I suggest never purchasing anything without buying an alarm first.
Many people put all their money in the system, and not enough, or not at all on an alarm.

I highly recommend the Clifford Matrix 3.5 (If you want a starter with your alarm)

It has amazing range and has a pager.

I know when someone even touches my ride when I go shopping. I cought someone who opened their door on my ride. It paged me, and I bolted outside to find that the persons door matched right with the damage on my ride. I cought him louding groceries and confronted him and he ended up covering the cost. ALONE this was worth purchasing the alarm.

I have never had my ride broken into, I do everything I can to deture thiefs. I have a sticker stating I have a pager alarm on the window.
I added 2 blue led strobes on each door rail, added a second siren, and I hang mini boxing gloves on my mirror for that extra brave thieve.
I would not touch my ride if I was a thief and saw all that shit, I can tell you that.

sorry to hear that, hope everything works out, man.

A couple weeks ago a guy right up the street from me entered someones property with a baseball bat late at night and was shot several times. So far there are no charges agains the shooter.
I know how you feel about the break in. I've had my Jeep broken into a couple times, even once with an alarm. My dad's also had his car bashed in for no apparent reason. People can pretty much get away with anything. He's not a real good thief if he stole the faceplate only. More than likely it'll end up on ebay for like $20.

he probably stole the faceplate just to cause hell..steal the faceplate so you have to buy a hole new radio.

in SC if you catch someone stealing shit from your property, you can kill them and not spend a second in jail.

Yah report is useless. I just did it because I was furious at that time and just wanted to do something.

Hell I still am tripping.. having thoughts abut if I could've just taken the ipod lol

I had a stereo ripped out of my car too, so i know how you feel. but i had head unit, amp, and subs all stolen. Right out of my driveway. Talk about feeling violated. I was so pissed.

Yep, I never heard anything back when my car was broken intoeither. I had all the serials and listed them all on the report. I think the report went right into the trash bin.

Anyone know any other website? I can get the whole stereo for like $140 off ebay. Maybe I can get a used one somewhere.

He stole the faceplate, and my ipod video =(
