Default $%#@, I've been robbed!!!

Ok. I am definitely PO'ed! someone broke into my SS last night and stole my GPS, Ipod and Zen Mp3 player. SO FREAKING PISSED!!!!!!! Out of all the things that were nice laying out. They took the things hidden in the glove box and middle consol. my fiance drove it to work this morning and noticed the hatch was open becasuse the interior lights wouldn't go off. I didn't think anything of it until late tonight when I wanted to go out for a bit. The glove box was open and my stuff was everywhere. I asked her why that was like that and she said that it was like that this morning. Then I realized something was wrong. The gps was missing. WTF! She said maybe I took it in. I knew I didn't do that but who knows I do forget a lot. So we went to her place to get her car and she was on the phone so the radio was off. BUT!! here is the kicker! Driving back to the apartment, I was alone and turned on good ol FM christmas music. Then I was like yeah pretty gay so I hit the button for the Ipod to turn on. It kept going to the Navigation. I didn't understand. I opened the consol and realized that my cable was missing the actual Ipod. Now I am pissed. I called the cops and reported it but they don't do crap. Then I go in the apartment and look around seeing if I did take it in but thats not likely considering it just stays in the car, then I remembered something else, the Ipod is my fiances. The ZEN mp3 is mine so where the heck was that. Well it was in the car as well with the cables and everything. THIS FREAKING SUCKS!!!!!!!! I am going to call my insurance tomorrow and see if they will cover this. I hope so. Thats 800 dollars worth of stuff if not more with the cables and cases and whatnot. What a jolly way to celebrate not being able to pay bills this month because of stinking college and no job!!!!!

I KNOW!!!! I am so baffled. I can't sleep because I have all of these thoughts running through my head as to why, how, etc. I am gonna call the dealership tomorrow, which is next door to me practically and has the tendency to always screw me over, to see if anyone stole my vin and tried to get keys made and came up with some crazy excuse for the them to actually make them for the thieves. I'm glad I didn't leave the glock in the car.

Won't work ever. You must present the title when you get a new key cut for an f-body, from the dealer.

I don't think you can get a key anywhere else.

Sorry to hear that man

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Yesterday was a day for it, I guess. My '00 Civic SI got broken into yesterday. Stole my sunroof (yes, stole - not broke) and tried to steal the car by hammering a key into the switch. They failed and I still have my car, but there's lots of damage. I had to finish "stealing" it to even be able to drive it home since the switch was all screwed up.

Damn, I gotta watch out for my stuff. If you ever go to a junkyard those hatch releases never open. That's why I'm shocked. Did you lose a set of keys by chance?

This was the day i finalized my double din avic d3 install. The trim I was still bondoing and molding, still need to paint btw. But I had taken in tools and boxes and the old radio and such and thinking to myself that i might have left the hatch open or a door open but I cannot recall to save my life. I do know that in Lynchburg city and the surrounding counties have had a rash of break ins according to my cop friend and he said they are mostly teenagers and gang related, nothing pro. so its probably my own dumb *** fault. Here is the thing though, THEY DIDN'T TAKE THE RADIO!! i would have stolen that if not anything else. all i know now is that nothing gets left in the car. double check the alarm, etc. I suggest everyone do that if they already don't. I though i was being good about double checking the doors and alarm. I must have gotten distracted. The insurance is covering all the costs and writing me a check so its all good. keep checking my posts with in the next day or so, maybe tonight. Ill have the install for the avic up.

lucky you get your money back. my dd got stolen a couple months ago and they took ALL the audio **** i had, subs, HU, etc. surprisingly the car was found 3 weeks later they only jacked up the ignition and stole all the audio. They left everything else. But my insurance company said tough luck and I am still trying to build up what I have. To top that off the day after i got the DD back i was at best buy looking at 2 way alarms (since i just got my dd back) and while i was inside someone punched out both keyholes on my camaro and jacked up the fiberglass on both doors. only reason i took it was because my dd was all taken apart in my garage being fixed. again insurance company didnt cover that either being just PLPD(they want $5000 a year for full coverage). so i had to hurry up and fix the dd just because i had holes in both doors of my camaro. i mean i am only 19 with a 2 year old and have to pay all this money just to keep rebuying my own ****. i feel for you man. ****** theives need to get the chair if they are caught.

I'm sorry to hear man, it sucks we have so many scumbags in the world, but I'm also afraid that as the economy gets even worse, and more and more jobs are lost, we're going to be seeing more and more burglary, theft and fraud. A cop friend told me that.
