my car got stolen - Page 2

Never had a car stolen, but friends of mine have had and usually for silly stuff, tape decks, CD decks, mp3 players. Useless advice now but it's always for better to not have anything that would draw attention.

It's not surprising your car was stolen tho, because it's impossible to steal new ones now. Most modern cars are equipped with transponders which prevent hot wiring, you basicallly can't start a transponder vehicle without the proper key....

well I found it,

its jacked up really good. stereo and pretty much everything else is gone.
engines ****ed up a bit. I dunno I got it back. they dusted for fingerprints. havent heard anything since yesterday.

I'm so sorry, mr. dark dude.

It's sad to say, but these days you really can't trust people that well. "Smile and trust no one" is what my dad has said for many years. Next time, lock that car real good, and take your valuables with you. Will your insurance cover any theft loss?

Well at least they found it and it's in one piece. So that's one good thing.

I agree to Eric, dude!

This is a good thing! You can retrieve the car parts in a short time.

Thats good it was found (yet **cked up pretty good) are you able to do it up again?

Dark Dude · 03-29-2008, 10:21 AM

yeah. I got an estimate and the bosses at work might even cover it.

I just found the perfect solution for anytime you catch someone breaking into your car, house, or etc.:
