So what did your insurance pay for? Was your 93 Taurus paid off? My damn insurance adjuster isn't tryin to get in touch with me and its ****ing me off. My Max is being financed and still needs another $13500 to pay off and its blue book value is about $9,500. Are they going to pay off the car, or just give me the blue book value and leave it up to me with what to do with the money, or will they do both, pay it off and give the blue book value?

i can also say that i didnt really look into any anti theft devices untill it was stolen.now i get everything i can to prevent it from happening again.as far as the reciepts i also didnt have mine.luckily most of the parts were from stillen and they keep records of transactions so i had them fax me copys of the items i purchased.maybe you can some how do the same from ebay.do some research which im sure you're doing. good luck..

Hello again, I've emailed you before but I'm not sure if you have received it and your private message box seems to be full so I'm asking you here on this post, if its possible, can you send me some sort of invoice of the Intrax Springs I purchased from you. I believe I will be mailing out my insurance claim info tomorrow and they need copies of the receipts. Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you.

Great! Thank you very very much! I now have to send it in with the other receipts and wait 30 days to see if the car still shows up, if not, its on to looking for a 5spd. Thanks again.

very sorry to hear the news. hope u regain everything and more thru insurance. GOD DAMN PUNKS!!! RUN THEM OVER!

sorry to hear man, hope it all works out in the end, either gettin your car back, or gettin a good amount from insurance.

yeah i never really thought about someone stealing my car, but this one kid i know, his brother is in a gang, and used to jack cars all the time, he was tellin me he could open my car from twenty feet away and i was like ummm yea sure. so he gets this little scanner thing which goes through all the frequencies that car alarms work on and in less then a minute my locks open up, i was amazed.... good thing i'm on his good side

BippuBenji

iTrader: (4)

Hey thanks. I hear of that little scanner thing, but the one I've seen was the one that picks up the frequency when someone uses their remote to arm the car or lock the doors and saves it to be used in reverse. It also works on garage door openers and other remotes. It basically is an interceptor of some sort. All I can say is when i get my new car or my car back, I will be investing into some high quality alarm and also pulling out the fuel pump fuse when I think its appropriate. I'd love to see the theives faces when they think they knew what they were doing and it just dies out when it starts up.

IIOO7II

hehehe yeah especially if they sit there for a second to try in figure it out, just as your walking to your car to give em a good ol fashion a$$ whoopin

BippuBenji

iTrader: (4)

hahaha, yea, I sometimes imagine that, but then I also would be mad if they DID figure it out, like put another fuse in it from like say my seat heaters or somethin.

basically almost any car can be stolen,. the advantage of having a club or a security system is that it takes longer to do it. You still might get your car stolen, but if there was another car next to yours without a security system, chances are they would steal that one first. Also in the NYC East coast area, Maximas are the No.3 most stolen car so it is just another hazard to face owning a Max in that area.

and yup, pros and even amateurs can steal a car in less than 60 seconds easy.
I'm investing in a $400 Clifford system that prevents the encoders from being used effectively (I SURE HOPE SO) and other things like the lcub just to make my car that extra bit harder to steal.

4th gens don't have key immobilizer system. I think that started with the 5th gens.

BippuBenji

iTrader: (4)

Yea, I realized that when the car got stolen. I got it mixed up with something else, I thought there was a immobilizer just because I couldn't unarm the factory alarm after it was tripped. I tried to start it with the key and it still didn't disarm it, and the only way was to either hit the unlock on the remote or unlock the door with the key. I thought that since I couldn't start the car with the master key even after it was tripped that I had a immoblizer system. I now realize I was wrong.

my '99 se-l, has a chip in the key.

I got news, my car was found in Delaware at a shopping mall parking lot. I still have to get back to my insurance agent to find out the details on towing it back to Maryland, he already gave the word that I have the choice on keeping it and taking the money to repair it, or take full blue book value for it. Since the day it was stolen, I got my hopes up on getting a 5spd Max. Anyway, I still have to wait for them to tow it to see the damage that was done and what was taken. I'll keep you guys posted if you guys are still interested, seems like this topic has been beaten to death already, but forgive me, just a little excited on hearing some news about my car.

Earlier today, I went to the repair shop where the tow truck dropped it off and I got a chance to look at it's condition. They initially broke the driver window, took my tv and playstation, my front driverside wheel and put on the donut (or maybe the tow truck man did), literally ripped off the front right Bose speaker grill, but left the speaker (maybe had too much trouble removing it), ripped out the ignition, scratched up my silver painted dash, and I don't know why, but they they took my trunk carpet, cd's, and school books. Well, after looking at all that, and thinkin they were going to take more than that, I had a feeling that I'll take the car if I had to, but if insurance would give me moey for the whole car, mods and all, I'd take the money and get another car. I'm kind of worried about how bad they driven my car, I know they at least put on another 300 miles, but they could've damaged all kinds of mechanical parts that I probably wouldn't have problems with until later when all the claims have been settled. I don't know, at least if they do give me the money for the car, I can think of it as selling it with the mods still in it, or as a customized Max. I'll post again tomorrow with the news from the insurance.

y they took ur books? i think they like ur music , thats why cds are gone

BippuBenji

iTrader: (4)

What's funny is, my Bose unit wasn't touched, maybe because my cd player was already broken, lol. They probably tried to pop in one of my cd's for their little getaway soundtrack. I wonder if their reading my Music and Geography books? Oh yea, I also found a pair of latex gloves on the floor, makes me think if they were intended to be left there.

Hey man sorry to hear what happened to you...In this day and age, you need to have atleast an aftermarket security system in your car...factory systems don't do much. I purchased my 98 Maxima last year from an insurance auction for $6000...it was a stolen recovery. My maxima they stole the complete dashboard, airbags, radio, and center console...picture inside a maxima without any dash, just looking straight at the firewall with the steering wheel in front you...thats what it looked like inside...It looked like they broke in the drivers window, opened the door and punched out the ignition....the car started right up. Had a few fuses missing so the car couldnt start when i bought it..but when i put the fuses that were missing back, put a mini screwdriver in the ignition, and the car started right up! So you see even with the factory alarm, they can still steal your car if they really wanted to. I'm not saying that aftermarket alarms will stop a thief, but it will sure slow them down. After I repaired and hooked up my max, i parked it at the local mall, when i got outside I seen pry marks by my drivers window...It's my belief that the aftermarket alarm ( VIPER ) was set off when they hit the glass, and stopped them from getting further in! I haven't taken my car to the mall since, I've purchased a little car for $500 to go to high risk places like that!! Good luck in your efforts! It will all work out for you!!

BEN: man im really sorry to hear that. I would die if my car was gone when i came back to it. I dont think id ever be the same. I think im gonna go and invest in a steering column lock or the auto-lock. Im glad you atleast got the car back!

regards,

I've noticed that most of these robberies happen on college campus parking lots.

My suggestion is to park in a well crowded area, tighten up your car's security(upgrade alarm, get some anti-theft products, wheel locks,etc)

sorry dude. hope your insurance comes through.

playas33

Ben, r they gonna try and repair your car? THey prob stole your books cause they go to your skool and can sell them back for $$$...you should get an estimate on the damages mechanically and cosmetically...hope everything works out, damn PG county.

If he goes to college I would say that was exactly why. Hmm, does your school track books any? If so contact the bookstore or library to find out if they were turned in or if they get turned in if they can get a name. Worth a shot.

I didn't read the whole thread, but I just wanted to pass along this warning.

Don't leave you're sunroof vent open (where just the rear pops up about an inch or two)
My friends were messing around and unlocked my car with just a stick. They just got a long stick and pushed the door lock open, my alarm went off, but that could have been easily stopped if they were theives.

BippuBenji

iTrader: (4)

Thanks for the tips. I did park in the parking space in the 4th closest space almost next to the handicap spaces, it was preety much more crowded than the rest of the lot since its closer to the school, but I don't think that would stop theives that much since it was during class.

For some reason my insurance is slow with the process, I think they're just now taking a look at the damages and are suppose to get back to me on the info. Yea, I guess they can sell my books, but they took pointless items that I wouldn't think they would be useful, e.g. my girl's lipstick, my index cards with one of my class assignments on them. I'll be sure to post again with the info from the insurance.

BippuBenji

That's a good idea, the school book store does ask for school id aka social security when yo sell books. I could try to check that out, but then again they couldve sold it any college bookstore, even if they weren't students they could just sell them online. I'll try my bookstore though, I'm not sure if they'll give out info like that, but I think they can tell me if anyone has recently sold those books in particular.
