Well it seems like around my neck of the woods emporia, ks alot of stuff has been getting stolen out of peoples cars, like stereo ect. and anything in them. I install a head unit amp and sub in my cousins car and her car got broken into and we found out who did it and the cops say they can't do anything unless they are caught with it. MAN that sucks.

How do you know who stole it?

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Duh? didn't even think about the insurance, but i will have to see if it will cost me more than what it is worth tho.
The town i live in is full of snitches, i made a few phone calls and with in two hours i got phone calls on who took it. Not everyone here is bad when you have the right friends you can help each other out because we all know who steals. We just have a friend do some checking around. The theifs here are not very bright. And the funny thing is the Fing kids that took it are only 14.....can't even drive a car.
But its all good my aunt works that the school so i already know there class schedual......they are gona love it when they see me in there last period class

If you know who they are have them arrested. Nothing teaches a lesson about why it's not good to be a thief better than a trip to jail. The trunk monkey is awesome. :) ------------- Support the12volt.com

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I live near Manhattan and I had not heard crime was up in Emporia. It sucks to get ripped off, but kicking his *** won't make him think twice the next time he tries it. Get an alarm or get creative with the install so it is harder to steal. Theft is a crime of oppurtunity.

Good Luck!

Get crazy mad with the install. Go to home depot and buy some good steel strips. If you got grinder great cut emdown to size so you can design a small cage. Then rent a mig welder or arc, welding is easy. make your cage and then get some high grade bolts like 7 or 8 grade. But make it easy enough so you can uninstall incase you need to do work. I also recommend getting cameras and a baby monitor. If u have an extended cab like some people, put locks on your seats (high grade). It make seem shabby but use your imagination and make it look good. Top it off with an alarm and your set.

may the force be with you.

I got tired if having my stereo equipment stolen when I lived in San Diego. Every week I would wake to find my car was strucked. I fixed that. I bought a new radio and a box of razor bladed. I carfully taped them to my radio and installed . 3 days later I woke to find my car door wide open. I went down to find my car radio was still there. I had to clean up the carpet ....The next day I saw a man that lived in the naborhood with his left hand and arm all wraped up. I honked the horn and waved.... You know I lived in that naberhood for 3 more years and never had my car broken into.... KY BOY....
-------------
Last words, Sure I can fix it...Won't take but just a sec.

you zip tie the razor blades to the wires and put a layer of tape around them. When they go to grab it and pull they get cut

I bought single edge blades. I layed one blade flat on the back with a overhang. Then I wraped tape around the radio. Repete till back of radio looks like a ball of blades in every direction. I mounted the rear suport bracket to the radio before I removed te cardbord covers...I did not wish to cut myself installing. Mean but it worked.
