Car broken into....
So I was in Chicago for a job interview, and some jackass smashed the passenger front window out of my 95 Avant, stole my 3 week old Macbook Pro (1300 bucks), my 15" Cintiq ($800-900), my digital camera, my video gamera, my USB drive, my pocket knife, and my toiletry bag. Over $2000 worth of stuff, gone.
I already replaced the window.... but... few things here. 1. My armrest is now bent, as he climbed over the seats to get to the back. Is there a way to tighten it somehow? It feels "loose". 2. I had everything covered under my security shade... guy still broke in. I'm thinking about removing my 3rd row seat, and building a 'secret trunk' area. Anyone done this? 3. My alarm never went off. Why? My window was smashed out! He never opened doors, but he did turn on the dome light. Shouldn't the alarm have gone off????!?! 4. Tint. Need some pictures of tint with your thoughts. I'm going to get my car tinted with my next paycheck. 5. Anybody upgraded their security system? The stock IR key sucks anyway... I'd like something badass, with motion sensors, and somethign that will go off if someone smashes a window and turns on a dome light. |
yikes. why would you leave all that stuff in your car in the first place?
I'd NEVER trust my car parked with all that loot in it even if I had a fort knox security system for my car. |
Sorry to hear about this. It's a bit why my cars are most of the time completely empty and I never leave precious stuff in them except if I can see the car all the time.

Remember that this alarm is VERY basic stuff. |
It'd be worth having all that stuff stolen if you had just caught him in the car.

I'd be in jail.

the armrest is attached by a loooooog bolt - it's probably just bent. pretty simple to just unscrew.

loosely adapted from... what movie???
|
Not even loosely!

If you take out the third seat bottom, and remove the "lid" over the spare, there's a lot of room back there. I had a full sized spare, and still had that area full of spares, tools, and extra's. More rool if you stick with the donut. FWIW.
