Today at the gym my buddys truck was broken into, he had a crappy sony cd player and pioneer speakers, he had an alarm yet they still ripped off his face plate and snatched the speakers, , what was scarey is that my truck was parked right beside his and i have a couple grand in my truck.......i was never so happy, yet sad at the same time... The reason of this post is just to remind you people that its is now stereo theift season, don't be foolish, hide your gear and take off your advertiseing stickers, don't install amps and such where people can clearly see it. ------------- 2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.

It's constantly theft season around here. I think I and all the other installers at my shop average about 3 replacements of some kind a week due to theft.

Alpine Guy, I don't think luck has anything to do with it. I think they did a bit of math or some sort after seeing you guys walking into the gym. After the calculation they figure that if your buddy caught them they probably wouldn't have been as beat up as if you have caught. "There is a season?"  There is one here where I am located auex. It's start in the spring, summer, fall and it starts again the winter. ------------- Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
