No, I was just telling Josh that I have had something stolen before and I know how he feels.

Yup, saw that stuff in a Car and Driver article. Man, it's crazy over there! They also have that bar that snaps out from underneath the car to cause great damage to the hijacker's legs.Originally posted by Talentless
in parts of africa, one of the africas at least, the car protection is a built in flame thrower. check legality. probably isn't, but it ought to be.

Two years after that, last I heard, he was in Spokane, where he was mugged from behind and killed! Someone was more pissed than I was....
I think there's a moral in there somewhere, but mainly I do totally understand where your coming from..

Josh,
Just about the same kind of thing happened to me. I had just put on my system, three amps, two 15" rockfords, Denon deck, ect, ect... I was quick to give people the tour. I was proud of it, I worked hard for it, and was proud of "my" install. Well, someone, some night broke into my car, busted the glass, stole the deck, CD's but left the speaker box up on end where they tried to get it out. They didn't know that in order to get 'that' box out, you had to take one of the front doors off, and one of the front sets out. Unscrew all 22 speaker screws and unbolt the box which was bolted through the trunk, anyways...
Reported it to the police, I heard through the grape vine who did it, and it was also a friend (well more of an associate that I thought was a quasi-friend). I gave this info to the PI which he followed up on. The PI found loads of equipment at his grandmas house in the garage. They were planning on going to Spokane, WA the next day to unload it all.
I was promised financial compensation for the CD's that were stolen and I got my deck back. The deck now scratched all my CD's that I put into it, but being a $600 deck that the factory couldn't repair, the place I bought it from trade it for a home system 'Kenwood' (I was done with car audio....) I got a $900 home system for the price of a 1 year old $600 deck, good deal right?
Anyhow, I saw him some time later at a pool hall, where I approached him. He was all freaking out, thinking I was going to beat the living **** out of him (which I felt like doing..., I despise thieves) but I just told him to make it right. I never saw him again. Two years later I got a check from the Country Atterny's office for $275 for the 15 CD's that were sold to the pawn shops and for the damage to the window. Even with interest, I came ahead.
I had made my peace with the guy, and I was justly compensated. Two years after that, last I heard, he was in Spokane, where he was mugged from behind and killed! Someone was more pissed than I was....
