THANK MY LUCKY STARS IT WASN'T MINE!!!!! Mine slept quietly in the garage. Abe's TY and my wife's were both broken in to. I guess they weren't "broken" in to since the doors were unlocked but someone went in there and screwed up a bunch of things. I went to get in to my Silverado and the door was locked, when I turned around I saw my wife's tailgate and glass opened and Abe's doors wide open. My stomach sank because I had recently installed the gauges, wideband, all that stuff and all I could think was that someone ripped them off. So i go look inside and all they did was throw things around, they pulled some wiring down for the alarm (it didn't go off because the battery is dead and unhooked) they also broke the tail gate lock for some reason. In the wife's Ty they took the face off the stereo and put it under the seat, they cut the mic for the bluetooth and just threw papers everywhere. They also threw my trash cans all over the place. Hope I catch the little bastards. I know it was kids because anyone else would have stolen everything. My wife is PISSED!!! Of course it is all my fault because I don't lock the doors. But I always say, would you rather have a missing stereo or broken windows and a missing stereo? I guess now I have to go buy her an alarm today but I told her that sometimes (depending on the crook) if an alarm goes off they will do something bad to the car instead before they run off. I want to see if we can get a motion light out there that makes a beep when it is set off. That would be pretty cool.

Sounds like another BS story from you like always.... :rotf:

:lol: just kidding Mike, sorry to hear that, my Ty always sits unlocked in driveway. Locks are for honest people, they only slow thieves down. If they want your shit they're getting It either way! Glad to hear nothing turned up missing, could have been much worse!
 
Re: 2 Ty's vandalized in my driveway last night!

prolly a ford lightning owner lol.... hmm now im rethinking leaving mine unlocked all the time, For the most part my neighborhood seems safe, but I guess you cant take any chances =\

Hope you find the vandals, maybe you can throw papers around and cut the wiring in their 9 second integra or crx...

Re: 2 Ty's vandalized in my driveway last night!

I don't think it is a safety issue so much. I live in a nice neighborhood. Thieves often go to other parts of town to steal. I personally think it was some kids that didn't really know what they were doing. There is thousands of dollars of crap in these trucks that wasn't really bolted down so to speak that was left there. Abe's truck unfortunately is missing the amp. Subs and cap are still there though.

We just got back from the store. We bought motion lights, and this cool motion detector that beeps in the house when it is set off. I am going to leave the lights off tonight and see if I can catch a bitch in the act and slam his ****ing legs in the door.

You are one trusting person leaving stuff unlocked...

Trust me when I tell you this. It's not about trust AT ALL. I have had several things stolen from me in the past. One thing I know for fact is that when a crook has a difficult time getting something it makes a much bigger mess. So like I said before, would rather have a missing stereo? Or a broken window and a missing stereo? I guess part of me also figured her motor was blown anyway and thing isn't going anywhere any time soon so why bother. Guess this could be one reason:lol:

+1 for motion lights. It took my DD car window smashed to realize I didn't have a light in my driveway. :tdown:

I agree with you 100% that locks just keep the honest peeps out. I leave my trucks/cars unlocked all the time. If they want something in the vehicle bad enough they will get into it no matter what it takes.


Like someone else i have seen shit vandlized for the simple fact they couldn't steal it or get into it.

Motion lights are very very wise move. i have them in the garage and all around the house. The garage has a street light on the front over the doors that lights it up and comes on right at dark.


Sorry to hear about the mess they created but it could be worse.



My sy has newer delco cd player in it just for the reaso to deter so idoits to thinking theres a system in it as well. I also keep other things out of sight and out of mind kinda thing. can't steal what you can't see so to speak.

Sorry to hear mike. I plan on installing a camera system on the front and side of my house. Something with really good cameras so i can see exactly who it was, or read license plates. I don't normally look for trouble, but i hate thieves worse than anything. I would burn them to the ground in their own house.

Motion lights work good, but not always, and that motion light with a beeper inside the house will go off every time a cat or bear or beaver walks past it. good luck sleeping with that thing. :tup:

Be careful leaving you vehicles unlocked. If they happen to steal the vehicle for a joy ride and then crash it, and the cops find it and put on the report no sign of forced entry most insurrance co. wont pay.

That the way it USED to be. With all the devices on the market, forced entry can be a thing of the past and the insurance companies know this and cannot deny a claim based solely on that fact. Without getting into specifics, I can get into any car out there. Driving it away without causing any damage is another thing. Insurance companies have forensic investigators to determine if there was anything forced, jimmied or tampered with.

Re: 2 Ty's vandalized in my driveway last night!

thieves dont need to use "forced entry" on a 17yr old vehicle. i seldom lock my doors and i always have at one expensive thing in there...good ole smith and wesson. now when i was at the mall and toys r us this christmas and the ty was loaded with gifts i did lock the doors between during my shopping spree.
