Another F***ing Break-in

Post by audiobass10 »

My Jeep was broken into last night AGAIN. They stole my 15" CompVR and the cheapy Profile amp I had running to it. $270 worth of stuff. To ad to it they busted out the entire back window...who knows how much that will cost..then to get it retinted at 5%. This is the second time in 2 years I've had my stuff stolen. This time I had an alarm...which never went off...in fact..ever since it was professionally installed..even shaking the car doesnt set it off. I need to make my way up to the place that installed it..and give them hell. What a fucking day.

Crimestopper alarm.

Insurance doesnt cover shit, Bill. The same thing happened to me last time..the only thing the alarm helped was the fact that they couldn't force entry in the vehicle..so they couldn't open any doors..therefore they had to break the rear window..reach in..grab the amp..then unscrew the sub. and pull it through the window..otherwise the alarm would ahve gone off.

i have all my stuff under my insurance policy of course i pay extra but if anything gets stolen i get my money back less my deductable. of 200 dollars. might be a good idea to look into. i think the put 5000 dollars of insurance on my stuff and i pay 6 dollars extra a month. also i dont know about yours but my alarm will pay for my stuff if it gets ripped off. up to 2000 dollars. maybe you should look into that 2

then on the next system, use spanner screws for the subs and the amp. They won't come out unless the thief carries the correct spanner tool. EVERYTHING in my car has the spanner screws.

Man i know just how you feel. I had my car parked in my driveway, right under my bedroom window, only to find out that sometime during the night someone broke into my car and stole my HU, amp, and subs.

I would definitely upgrade your alarm to glass sensors. Might want to look into what bill was talkin about, with either insurance or seeing if your alarm company will pay some of the costs.


Onyrmrk...what are these screws you are talking about? Do you mean square headed decking screws?

also, switch up the screws, takes more time for you, but its more time for them that they dont want to spend messing with it.

Thanks for the advice. The next install i'm planning will be IMPOSSIBLE to steal subs out of. In fact..the only way they could get to the subs would be to break the windows..then unlock the door and enter..in which case the alarm would go off..in which case glass sensors would not be needed. Also considering putting a camera outside and doing 24 hour survaillance (sp?).
