rude awakening
so my girl wakes up to go to work at 7am. she runs back in saying "baby your cars gone!" all i ever do is talk about my car and what i'm gonna do next so she knows i'm gonna be pissed, and i was. look outside and sure enough its not in the driveway. i get this ****tyfeeling in my stomach and run to get the phone so i can report it. all i think is "maybe they can find it, maybe they just took it for a joy ride." then i'm like ya right, 17" chrome rims, theyve staked me out and they are gone with my baby. i had my wheel lock key in the house so maybe they cant take the wheels, but with the right impact wrench they can do anything.... then i think... "****, i guess i didnt use my kill switch that cost me $5."walk into the driveway where my car should be and begin my own investigation, csi is on the scene.... walk out to the lane and...

RE: rude awakening
Sorry to hear about that.... I use a car cover to help deter theft. The way I see it, if someone is rolling through my neighborhood, they won't go to the trouble to stop and uncover a car that may just be a jalopy. I know its not foolproof but more of a last line of defence.

RE: rude awakening
car cover is a good idea, i might try that, only thing is it rains a lot here so moisture will get trapped inside. sometimes i have my girl park her car behind mine but from now on that will be a must if she wants to stay here! lol. i'm not too concerned about my stereo cuz it was pieced together and i was just about to start upgrading which is why i decided that i need a full alarm system. i'm supposed to pay a $300 deductible but they say it will prolly be waived since i had a kill switch which stopped them from stealing the whole car. and all my stereo stuff will be replaced, plus i will throw in some extra money and start the upgrade. cars fine for the most part, wheels stll on, so i gotta look on the bright side.

RE: rude awakening
Man that sucks but at the same rate it just goes to show how one simple little kill switch can make the difference between a car missing and a car missing stuff...... Down side is most thieves come back to the place of theft to strike again[&:]

ya kill switch on an alarm complete with a bright as hell blue led. thats what I do. had my car broken into twice before my alarm in 6 months. got the alarm with the led and its never been touched in about a year and a half and i've lived in the same house the whole time
