I got Jacked...Sorry ##$@!! Thiefs

Today I took the girlfriend to Gardenridge a home furnishings superstore, after about 40 mins they paged a owner with a black toyota tacoma, my heart sank just two weeks ago I finished a complete install of a Mr Marv sub box and two amps, door speakers and Kenwood 7160 nav unit.

All they took was the nav unit, messed up my door and handle, busted my window screwed up interior dash and door panels, scratched up my steering wheel.

Left the kershaw knife in the cubby area and the ipod in the glove?

I'm 48 and I have never been hit before so I guess I shouldnt complain but it sucks big time.

You just cant work hard and have nice things.

I got insurance but will they pay for aftermarket stuff?
I figure the door dash pieces tinted window is gonna cost over a thousand.

Even if they did cover it I dont want this to happen again so I dont know if I want to get a equal system or not

Just sucks

 

someone had to known you installed that in your truck and was watching you... and in a parking lot???? WTF

 

Damn man, does the store have cams? Maybe they can figure out who stole your shit and proper retribution will be done!

 

damn! that sucks dude!! hope every thing works out! and just wondering how dark was your tint? could they see in? if not than first thing that comes to my mind is they may have known you had it?!?!? maybe that just me. but i don't think they would wast time if they did not know they was something good in there.

 

you beat me too it!

 

yeah shit happens here all the time. people let someone know they put subs in their car or truck word gets around and next thing you know your subs are at the nearest pawn shop... and from the pic looks like they took their time unhooking everything..... did you tell anyone you were going into that store for a while?

 

Also keep your eyes out on craigslist for anything that may come up for sale just like your stuff.

 

yeah i hear ya. hear its not to bad that i know of. but there some pretty bad parts but i don'y or try not to go to those areas! idk maybe i just have that mind set because my brother is a cop... idk i know allot of ppl don't have that mind set.

 

no body could have known I was in the other side of town, I dont thuimp it near my house or when pulling into lots cop that responded said he has been after them for a while just cant get them in the act, was at a wedding the night before and 6 cars in the lot got hit , no no cameras, tint was as dark as legal

 

HMMMM something smells fishy..... and if you just got insurance and just put that stuff in..... lets hope you dont have fraud investigators up your butt for the rest of your life now

 

they send kids on bikes to scout my cop friend says...They didnt take my subs Just the $1500 head unit

 

Really sorry to hear about this, sounds like you need darker tint or a pitbull

 

That sucks. You should invest in an alarm. Happened to me once, It was in my driveway overnight took my sub and amp.

 

Yeah sorry OP. Was hit in college once. You feel totally violated and completely enraged. They probably sent scouts up and down the rows looking the goods. That's why I'll never install anything that doesn't have a removeable faceplate. As for insurance, it's up to the adjuster. Granted this was 20 years ago, but back then my insurance covered the deck as it was installed in the factory specified location (as was yours). They didn't cover my amp / eq because it was an add-on (not replacing OEM equipment, not installed in an OEM specified locale).

 

That's sucks man. ..

 

In what part of town did this happen?

 

Dude that sux. It always amazes me when things like that happen in a crowded parking lot. People walk by and don't say anything until its all over then, someone tells an employee to make the announcement. Hope they get bit by the dog next time!!! That may be the only justice they get.

 

That sucks sooooooooo bad.it's shame people can't own nice things because of dirtbags. That's why i just keep the shitty stock radio.not worth the anger

 

I would like to know as well. Didn't realize they had a Garden Ridge in Oak Cliff lol


To anyone wondering why they didn't take subs or anything else try and think like a thief for a moment. You're in a parking lot with other cars and other eyes. You have a VERY brief window where there aren't other people who can see you. You know the owner of the car is coming back soon but you don't know when. So it's clear your window of opportunity (no pun intended seriously) is very brief. You grab only what you can see through the window. Longer you hunt around in the vehicle the higher your chances of getting caught.
