hmmmm.....who knew you just got a new dvd player? not that i think any of your friends would do that, but it is the first thing that came to my mind. a lot of that kind of thing goes on with tires and batteries. peopletarget you for a nice ride and watch youor intentionally slash your tires or steal your battery knowing that you will get a new one. then they come back and rape you for the new stuff. anyway, sorry to hear that man. insurance?

yeah, insurance is covering it, minus my $500 deductible, but it's just a pain in my ***....

I think, if it was a purposeful theft and not a crime of opportunity, it was someone from the little audio shop I bought it from. That, or someone saw me using it on the road and followed me home.

If he had a Smith & Wesson in there, they would have stolen that as well! [8D]

Matt--Sucks that it happened but a word of advice: You might consider getting that deductible lowered. I always maintain a $50 deductible on comp insurance. (I used to own a Jeep that never had the top on so stuff got stolen all the time) The difference in price is amazingly small and I don't care what they steal, I'm getting it back for $50. CollisionI keep at$500. Nothing else short of a garage you can do from somebody that'll break a window. They'll be gone before anyone would even pay attention to an alarm. It sucks.

I keep a Remington 12 ga. with aSpringfield XD 45 backup security system. I also have (recommended for ANYONE who has money in their vehicle) a paging alarm. It pages the hand fob. I also have glass that you can't see into (not completely legal). I feel your pain though. I have had nice system stolen from me in the past... and with each oneI keep adding another level of security. I've had the alarm go off a few times at home, and when the key fob goes off you WILL hear it.... it is a loud squeeling noise... kinda like a fire alarm. If you want to make sure you hear it... keep a second set of keys (with fob) in the dresser drawer next to the bed... never again will your truck be tampered with without your knowledge.

Tip: If you have a shotgun get some of these: http://www.deltaforce.com/catalog/lesslethalammo.html

#1 they dont' know it's rubber... and if you DO fire it they will SH*T there pants (I would) and it will knock them down... I keep 2 rubber, 2 Slugs, and 1 Birdshot in it for home defence. Ihave a simular setup for my 45... There are less-than-lethal ways to protect yourself....

I think there are very few people who haven't had this experience. My truck got broken into about 3 years ago. They smashed the rear passanger door window and luckily only stole my gym bag. And the truck was parked directly under a street light (I was at the movies). But I agree 100% with Duso02, get your theft deductible as low as possible. One break in and it's paid for itself.
