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

Sucks ass! Sorry to hear. This is kinda why I just keep my oem stereo, low to no resale value.


Not sure if this is any help but I happen to have an extra upper dash piece that goes around the gauges. If this is something you need, let me know.

from my experience, all these shit heads do is smash and grab. doesnt matter what kind of car/truck... doesnt matter about alarm, window tint, as long as they have a minute to smash out the window most peeps can yank out the stereo very quickly. (hence the damage to the inside)

garden ridge should have surveillance cameras (round rock store has them) but if not is there any buisnesses close that might have some, might be worth checking.

i wouldnt worry about getting hit again, just replace it with what you want.

 

I had something similar happen to my Jeep back in the day and my insurance company at the time was great to work with, they took care of everything. It was explained to me that they will cover anything that is essentially bolted to the vehicle.

 

thats messed up...I feel terrible for you...hope they catch those bastards!

 

Viper or Python paging car alarms are your friend!!
Sorry this happened to ya, I hate getting ripped off, so violated.

I also noticed, that you internal dash where your stereo mounts is plastic? In my 05 that is all steal, and put in safety screws so you are gonna need a freaking crow bar and blow torch to get mine out.

 

That super sucks man, sorry to hear. I wanted nav unit, but went with the single din instead because i was afraid this would happen. Good luck with the insurence.

 

Kill the perps.

 

THAT SUCKS! I'm sorry about that! I wish I would catch somebody trying to do that! People have not respect nowadays!

 

Got an estimate today
$3000 without the radio either way Im out a $1000 deductable

 

ouch sorry to hear that. I hate scum like that. Hopefully Karma will get them

 

Totally sucks. Hope they get caught. I wont put a nav system in for that reason.
In the future, engrave identifying numbers on your equipment.
I use my phone for navigation, or an easily removable unit.

 

I know exactly how you feel. I just had a double din pioneer navigation unit along with a custom built sub box/armrest with an alpine type s sub and an alpine 500 watt mono block amp and it got stolen in front of olive garden while i was on a date. it was only 5 o clock too. you feel violated. i haven't put another system in my tacoma since then. it feels like such a hassle and i hate worrying. im still debating about putting another one in tho. i hate how the tacomas don't come with factory alarms. just a clicker.

 

I also have a single CD non-voodoo silver faced oem stereo if need be.......

 

I have my factory unit on a shelf, but thanks
