Thanks!
I am up and running, everything is just waiting for a new design, I will include a snake in the trunk area in my next setup... to the next thief that wants to **** with my I&)(#& lol
I am going even stronger this time! I dont let that stop me but trust me i will not leave my car anywhere....anymore... (I feel like it was my fault some how)

You see thats where i blame myself whats the purpose of having an alarm if you cant hear it or feel it.... i didnt had it in vibrate...(dumb me) the alarm did its job...but i didnt do mine.....
They stole all my amps components pro wiring, eclipse radio ripped my carpet stole my TVs along with my headrest it was a real nightmare but the insurance covered almost everything...98.9% which i am more than happy.
The radio wont work with out the ESN CD...waste of time...
My best advise to all owners out there regarless where you go, dont let your guard down, Pay for parking when you are in the city or better yet pay when you are not in your own parking garage.

Glad insurance cover most of ur stuff. I know how much you were pissed when you first saw the damage, u must feel like a dagger stabbing your heart.
Since you've experienced the incident, give members some suggestions to protect their hardwork. For e.g.
1. Always install viper alarm when you have expensive HU or in-dash TV
2. Tell shop to customize detachable clips on those expensive in-dash tv and HU, so you can take it with you when you get off the car.

This is a Good Idea!

1. I dont think all thiefs now technology like we do...ESN Security? a crack head dont know so they will steal anything in your whip that looks valuable...
2. Just like people say if a thief wants it they will get it unless you choose to get some snakes or pitbulls and have them reside inside your whip.
3. Is the most important Is Location, location location.
4. Invest in a good alarm and dont disregard alarms notifications.
5. Use secure parking trust me even if you park in the city for 50 bucks at nite is not worth it finding your car in the conditions I found mine.
6. If you have a 2k2 or 2k3 and feel more comfortable because we have Datadots....you might be in for a suprise, although the kit ripped the bottom of the headlights they did not get the ballast...but they were really after those lights.... I dont care how much you guys dont want to discuss this subject but as long as you live in the northeast we will have that hunting us for the rest of the ownership of our vehicles... My 2 Cents
one more year and i am getting rid of this headache...

when you tell your insurance company you have all the aftermarket parts, do your rates go up or anything?? or is it just a matter of filing??

oohhh last thing BE VERY CAREFULL with those custom shops, pay cash cause they will track u down if u pay with credit and remove anything that might have ur address...

when i had the camry, they stole about $1200 worth of audio equipment out of my car. insurance covered most of it, minus 10 percent of depreciation. if you can show them that everything was phiscally mounted in the car, they should cover it. the head unit obiously was. the amps were bolted to the back of my back seat, and the subwoofer enclosure was bolted to the bottom of my trunk. the estimator came, and i showed him all the mounting holes, and the brackets which held my sub box. they did not even question anything. i did not have receipts for some of this stuff, so they just looked at comparable items, and deducted something like 20% off the retail price. i worked at an electronics store when i bought the original stuff, so i actually made out on the deal. the markup on car audio is incredible, almost 1/2 off retail on most things, especially wiring and other accessories.

Thanks everyone!
As far as addreses my credit car is billed to a different address where i dont reside at, i was smart about that but is true....shops have shaddy business out there.....
On another note I am going to have a shop seal my trunk and remome the remote button to open it. that will make it harder for thiefs.

Damn i feel ya pain...My factory rims got robbed and was sittin on some crates a couple weeks ago. Went and bought some 20" chromes with the insurance money. and today i just found out who did it. I don't know the person but im going to get my rims back and do a lil damage.
