wow dude sorry to hear that

[Notladstyle]

you might want to lock the door next time. Sucks about the theft tho, keep an eye on the fs forums - might show up with a phone number/address and you can deliver some capital justice.

[Colonel Mustard]

P.S. please dont talk shit...i know what i did wrong ...

[Colonel Mustard]

ohhh ..i always lock all doors...i belive they must have used something to unlock it(i,e slim jim)I always triple checked it...never leave it unlocked..btw this happened and 2 flat tires and the truck(2006 ford f250 superduty) has less than 2800 miles...thanks for all the pos. comments guys....I think positive and dont let it bring me down because i know in the end they will get thiers

[Notladstyle]

looks like they probably targeted it because it was a new truck then. Any change your insurance is gonna cover it?

[Colonel Mustard]

i doubt it but iam going to try

[TBSpyder]

Where exactly did this happen? Maybe folks on here who live in your area can keep an eye/ear out for your type of stuff.


On a side note, I'm willing to bet it's someone you know, or atleast someone who knew what you were doing (ie, a neighbor, friend, employee at the shop you bought everything from, etc.).

/me deletes all my posts

[Colonel Mustard]

I live in the westchase area and have had all of the stuff for a while exept for the comps and jl amp which i still have...the other stuff including tv's was in my lexus for about 2-3 mos. in the same lot...we have a lot of out of town contractors renting here for long term work...only 1 person came up to me and could have known that everything was under the seat...he is the 1st suspect but we will see...btw...i never came into the apts with the tv's on or music loud.

and as most of you know...i could care less about ever getting this stuff back , it can be purchased agian...it is the point of some peice of shit coming into something of mine and destroying all my hard work...it is a real shitty feeling...

[Miles]

not to be an asshole (not to mention a thread-jacker), but how much were you looking to get for the 300/4?

[Colonel Mustard]

^ was an asshole move but 225...lol

sorry dude. i mean, this stuff happens to everyone who has ever owned a system. i know i've definitely had plenty of unexpected reasons to upgrade my system :(

That would be quite a coincidence or require some serious investigative work. I've been on this forum for a few years now and have yet to hear of that happening.

:o dont say that in GCC. From what I've read in the past year, there have been dozens car thefts allegedly based solely on people found on TR, followed home from a meet, and car was stolen shortly thereafter.


Its not too far fetched but I'm sure that half of them are paranoia. But on the other hand, If I was a bt more evil and had a few willing friends I could chill in AHQ with a shopping list, wait until the monthly meet and be set till the next month. Another reason I am aprehensive to moving outside of the 'family' when it comes to the ahq meets.

[Colonel Mustard]

This is not the first time this has happened...iv'e been in the install game for about 8 years mostly side stuff but i worked for a shop for about 2 years and this is the 2nd time i have had my stuff stolen..last time they got 2 10w3 and a jl amp and some cd's out of my old civic about 5 years ago

[66impalass]

Some insurance will cover the thefts if you do have full coverage, I know State Farm covered my stuff that was stolen, sorry to hear though i was in the same boat about a month ago. Except they stole my alarm too

:lol: that had to be one shitty alarm if not only did it let them steal everything in the car but also unwire and remove the alarm itself :lol:

tell me, was it Pyle brand?

[P057]

Yay I got an alarm installed and i really dont expect anyone to be stealing my shit anytime soon.


Now all i need is to finish my concealed weapons permit course.




Mmmm glock 24....

[66impalass]

Actually it was a compustar, they didn't unwire it they just stole the brain which means the people that broke in my truck knew where it was, which means they worked on it before. neighbors said my alarm was going off for like 3 min. No one even bothered looking out there window at my truck which sucks

It's really not all that hard to get past an alarm. I use to see it quite often actually. The most effective way of preventing theft I've found, by far, is a stealthy install. If they can't see it, can't get to it, and/or don't know it's there they're most likely not going to attempt to break in in the first place.

thats is why i always suggest a pager or 2 way remote to tell you when your alarm is going off - and horn honk is a must - really hard to sleep with a horn going off non-stop

Oh noes, I just installed a compustar 2way system in Dans car :-o

Let us pray that he hears the alarm going off and brings his baseball bat to yield before they figure out how to pull the alarm.


Yes yes Ive always found it extremely satisfying to use several roles of masing tape as well. Not only is future maitenence near impossible, I doubt even I would recognize the wiring. I also dont prewrap any of the wires (besides the siren) so then when I install it I can bundle door locks with the ignition or whatever wires happen to be near eachother easier.

[P057]

=/

I got the 2-way remote, i can tell when ppl are fucking with mah car.

Though the whole sleeper aspect of it really helps a buttload :lol:

doesn't help when you can sleep through anything and your neighbors dont care :(

yeh i have that one except no remote start, i dont really need it. Although window roll down would be really nice...

The range is actually pretty decent. I went about ... hm 1/8th of a mile i guess away from a walmart dalton was in and behind an amscot, he was inside and i think up to the vegetable isle in the super walmart and i think thats the range it died at.

Not too bad.


I cant sleep through anything, i barely sleep at all. Plus i have it on vibrate, attached to me about 20/7 and if not stuck to me its really fkn close to me.

=D.
