Those fold up stereo's aren't worth it for the protection. They might fool some stupid punk kid, but any decent car guy knows that if there is a black bar in your dash, you either have an STi, RS or Elise with no stereo, or a nice expensive Kenwood head unit with the 3D mask feature. Those also happen to be very easy to take out when closed.

Total in damages comes out to be $1180.21, before the radio, turbo timer, and radio antenna. I'm guessing give or take $1500 after everything, not to mention how much time I'm gonna lose. See what happens when you steal a measly radio for a couple joints??

why would you have your video wire exposed like that which can be so easily cut?

I ran it along the crevices of the corners of the walls. If you saw the camera, you can easily trace its wire, nothing I could do about it. It was the only way I could do it, short of drilling a hole straight up to my apartment, which is out of the question.

That small window is $50.33 in the quote, plus 2.1hrs of labor to install it @ $40/hr.

What would it take to put an electrified fence with razorwire around your property, and a gate for the driveway?

So you'll catch the bastard who's doing it. I'm sure it's the same people who's done this last time or their friends or something testing out for the security system in your car.
Bear Trap?....nah

Buy a bunch of bears and have them live in your yard. And name them all after rappers so that way the next morning the perp would've eaten by master p and 'lil scrappy. And dress them like pirates.

Damn those SOBs...I would torture those little bastards if I ever catch one of them, just one...

Mine was vandalized a couple weeks ago, my spoiler's cracked right at the middle and I can peel off the carbon fiber if I want to. I now have a flappy, V-shaped spoiler whenever I drive at highway speed or hit bumps and potholes.

Get the cops to dust for prints. These idiots have probably done this many times and were caught and have records. I would def. get a good pager alarm also. They must be surv. the place or know you since they disabled the camera. Check the area around the camera for prints also. The problem with affluent areas is they attract the trash who steal from them. I luckily live down the street from the police chief so my area is constantly under watch. At least you'll have a garage soon.

Cop was an ***, and didn't dust for fingerprints. I couldn't see any though. I hadn't washed the car in a while, so fingerprints could have been anyone's. I highly doubt it's anyone who knows me because of kind of person I am, but anything is possible. The apartments I live in always have these crime sprees that come in bunches every now and then, and there's a ton of potheads here, so I'm guessing its one of them, out for a quick buck or two for their smoking habits.

I got down to thinking hard though, I'm very positive that it may be this group of people, about 5 months ago. Videos are in there, along with pics. They actually tried finding a way into my car, tapped on my camera lenses, and then proceeded to break into other people's cars afterwards. They stole other things that night from other people's cars that weren't in my camera's view, including several radios.

I compiled the surveillance videos into one video here, since the links don't work anymore in the other thread. Also attached is the best image I have of the girl's face who tried to breakin to my car. These guys obviously know about the camera, and have stolen radios before, and these guys are my best bet. I'm about to put a $500 reward in my area for the arrest and conviction of these guys.

In the video, the car you see them breaking into is one of my neighbors, and I know her, and she has confirmed that she does not know those kids. Fortunately, they only threw stuff around her car and didn't steal anything.

get 2-3 spare car battery's.... and amplify them..... wire it so if you use the keyless entry they disengage... but if not... you'll zap em so hard they'll have a hard on for 20 years... then you can really identify.... .... just a thought.

Yes, I posted this before when it happened. I'm just letting you guys know that those people are the best suspects I have right now.
