Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

oh deng man. I'm really sorry to see that. Geez so this is what I'm gettin out of the marines to live in? Maybe I oughta stay in Japan. That's horrible. What did they take on top of the vandalism?

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

this is the exact reason why my deck is oem, i don't see people trying to jack my shit.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

*shrug* It was a 7 year old Kenwood deck that half assed worked. No big loss really, but they didn't have to fuck up my car in the process. My sub box and amp are still in the trunk when I peeked through the cubby hole in the back seat.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Man that really sucks!!

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

You'd think below zero temperatures would slow things down but stupidity never rests, sorry you have to deal w/this in winter and on christmas.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

That sucks. was it parked at your house by QPR?

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Thanks for your condolence, jerkoff. Your "I told you so" attitude is the last thing I want to put up with right now.


It was parked right in front of one of QPR's doors. I had trouble starting it the past few days and just let it sit mostly. Came out today and that's how I found it.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Both my decks are not oem and Ive never been broken into.. so whatever dude (joegensta)....

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Sorry to hear that. My cousin who just had his car stolen (read other post) had his windows broken out about 4 times while it sat at work. Nothing ever stolen. Maybe we should start up a Matt D. fund, well maybe not cause that's what insurance is for. Just trying to lighten the mood. Sorry again bout what happened.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Sorry to hear that Matt. I went through the same thing about a month ago. Fucking idiots in this world.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Damn, Matt sorry. I went though it last year, broke my window, stole my radio, palm, and cds.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Sorry Matt... That really sucks. I had an older aftermarket deck laying around, if I find it you can have it.

Make the most of Christmas. They'll get theirs....

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Don't worry about it. I still have my OEM deck and I'll just take my subs and amp out.

Anyone know someone who does auto glass replacement? :)

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

It's moveable window glass, just get a piece from a junk yard and put it in your self. I don't know what year your is , I guessed 93, here is a cheap place, they have a bunch too. They listed 88-94 as being the same.

$39 Abco Fridley Auto Parts USA-MN(Fridley) 763-784-8890

And for what ever reason they list driver side windows for $29.99??? see if you can get is cheaper.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

I'm supposed to work Sunday and Monday... I'd really like to get this fixed if anyone can be of assistance.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Sorry to see that man! No glass coverage? At least they didn't make off with anything TOO valuable.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

This sucks beyond belief. I have a pretty good idea which little pricks are responsible, when I see them again, we will find out.

The corner where Matts car was is really out of the way and shielded from view of the houses, they don't look at the cars under the lights where the rest of them are. And they only seem to want stereos, so far, car parts are of no interest to them. Last time when Allans and Adams cars were hit on the corner of the parking lot, there was another car within 10 feet with a new fluidyne radiator in the box and a new SAFC boxed on top of it in plain view and they were never touched. I have a camera housing to hang out there, just have to get a camera for it so I can catch the dinks on film.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Yeah, that sucks! Went through the same thing this summer. I wouldn't doubt it if it was the same fucks who stole my shit. Sorry Matt!

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

I just really need help finding a replacement window... I missed work today and really don't want to miss it tomorrow either. It's a '91 Grand Prix 2 door, right side window.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Did you try the number posted above? Junkyards are the only place I can think of, unless you want to spend the money and take it to like Harmon Auto Glass or something.

I'm sorry this happened to you on xmas. :( What did they do to the lock? Did the try a screwdriver to something?

Things are just getting better...

Mike and Josh got home this evening and saw my trunk was open. I didn't go outside all day because I didn't have anything to do and sure as hell didn't want to drive anywhere. I was quite surprised when they told me my trunk was open so I ran outside to find my trunk completely empty. Since they busted my trunk lock I wasn't able to open it and get the stuff out. They managed to somehow get tin snips or something around the lock mechanism and "flower" out the metal around the lock and bust it free. They took 2 10" subs in a huge bandpass box, my amp, and about $1200 worth of R/C equipment. Happy frickin' holidays.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

I hope Mike is right in his suspicions (sp?). If you decide they need to be dealt with in unlegal manners let all of us know, I know a good group of people who would be down for a good old-fashioned stomping.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Damn Matt, that is some bullshit. Just wondering, have you filed a police report? Because there are times where they will bust people with things and you could get them back. Just a thought.

And yeah Mike I would get take a little more security measures around there. Especially with all the money in cars and parts outside.

Oh and one more thing. Couldn't you claim that on the shops insurance? Maybe not. Just wondering.

CRAIG

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

They would have to make up some fake invoices and records showing why the car was at the shop, for what reasons, and during what dates. Even that might be a stretch since he lives right there and insurance companies do hate The Fraud.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

I wasn't talking about defrauding the insurance company, I was talking about something along the lines of homeowners insurance. Where even some of your outside belongings are covered.

CRAIG

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

That sucks, I had my van broken into 2 weeks ago in Phoenix. They took my XM, two power inverters, the charging base for my walkis talkies and my fishing poles. What they let was a TV, reciever, 200 disc, scanner, printer, laptop, my tool box and a bunch of misc stuff. I felt lucky, but I got all of the rest of my shit out before the next night. Also they didn't break my window, they just pulled it down.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

Wow, that sucks. Just curious, but could you not get your trunk open to get that stuff out earlier?

No, that is not covered under a shop policy as it is in the parking lot. When it happened to Allan's car & another customer's car earlier this summer it was not covered. It's no different than having your car at Target's parking lot. The only thing that would cover that stuff would be if you have renter's insurance (which everyone should have). Then it would all be covered probably. At least it was when it happened to me (twice).

Sorry again Matt. When it rains, it pours. Trust me.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

If you want I could go to a junk yard after I get off work tomorrow, and bring it down to you at the house. There are plenty that have them. (car-part.com) You didn't seem too interested the first time I suggested it though. Unless Grand Prix’s are special, it a bolt in affair.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

No, I couldn't get it open. I tried my key and it wouldn't turn, and forcing it with a screwdriver didn't work either.

That would be much appreciated. I didn't know you were offering earlier.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

i thought qpr had cameras installed? did you check the tapes?

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

That sucks matt, Good luck with the insurance company.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

I think its about time to camp out in the truck with a bat and turn out the outside lights, right next to the shop.
Time for a little pin the tail on the donkey action....

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

goodness. That is unreal. You guys got welders at the shop right? You should make some sort of torture device for when you camp out and catch em. Sorry to hear tho man, that is some bullshit.

Re: Merry Christmas to me!!!
 

If you need help, I can toss it in for you.
