    Had my stereo stolen a few weeks ago...

    I just figured I'd post that I woke up to a busted window and a missing stereo system a few Sundays ago.

    They busted some of the dash, busted up the rear seat (cutting amp wires running along there in the trunk).

    I lost my $420 Pioneer head unit... the JL Audio W3v2 and the two amps I had back there are also history.

    Luckily it all was insured, and the car is sorta fixed now, but the stereo is a slower project.

    So did you get paid for the system that was jacked? or just the parts of the car that was busted? I'd recommend people taking in the receipts for there upgrades into the insurance office and get insured for all of that stuff...Its a tough world out here now.

      Awww christ, that's horrible. And to such a nice car too. What the fuck is wrong with people today!? I hope you get reparations for everything and not just the car.

          Yeah, I had just taken out an insurance policy on the stereo (at my mother's request). Lucky, or I would have been out the cost of the sub and amps. The head unit is covered under comp.

                  Ouch! And to think I got nervous when some punk kids were eyeing my $40 Lightning Audio speakers. Maybe you could reinstall a stock stereo as a dummy and hide the aftermarket headunit somewhere and try to camoflage the system somehow?

                    Unless you're booming around town, it might be someone you know, or only one degree away. I have a friend who has recovered items from a home theft recently, he was networked pretty well. I love JLAudio stuff. Sorry for your loss! Time to upgrade.

                        Thanks guys.

                        Yeah, I'm paying a bit out of pocket to upgrade, but (hopefully) it will be worth the really effing long wait without a stereo.

                        The general thought is that either it was somebody who lives near me or someone I know... the stereo wasn't really loud enough to hear outside the car. Plus I like my hearing so it was never up that loud.

                            Get car alarm w/ two way paging, then you can call police if you see someone out there. And stand outside and yell at them. I don't really recommend going to them and beating them up like most people say they will do if they hear their alarm going off. Probably get a lawsuit or some bullcrap against you.
