Got hit again!!! Thieves and Vandalls!!!!

Got hit again!!!!!!!!!
Well last Saurday, at 6:30am, someone broke my window and tried to steal my Pioneer 9300 CD player and 7300 DVD/monitor. They only got the faces and busted my dash up pretty good. I bought and replaced the window by 10:00am. I figured they would come back to see their work sometime during the day. I'm pretty sure they were surprised to see it fixed already.

On Friday I took my 19's off and put on my other set of 19's. I figrured they'd see it and start hating even more. And they did!!!!!

My brother woke me up this morning at about 7am and found a can of white paint poured all over the back window, roof, trunk,and wheel. I drove it to the carwash and $10 in quarters and 30 minutes later it was all off. It didn't have a chance to harden.

What do ou guys think? Both nights that this occured I heard bees in a can outside.

I think some ricers have a grudge against you. Did you race and beat them so bad that you are now a target?

Hope the vandalism stops!

You are lucky nothing more happened, and smart to do what you did with the paint (I woulda done something stupid like trying to wipe it off LOL), but it seems to me like you are trying to egg them on? BAD IDEA.

I think its time for you to get a garage or park like 5 streets over so the vandels cant find your car. That really sucks, if anyone vandelized my car I would be soooo ****ed.

Yeah, it's time to buy a gun. Don't you have an alarm on that thing? I would have the sensitivity turned up so far a damn fly couldn't land on my car...

file a report with the police and ask them to check out the area at night. The cops will probably drive by more often.

i think samman has got the right idea, and an alarm would be a wise investment.

You want a good alarm system? Get I mean dog, like a pitbull, but wherever you go, leave him in the car (not on hot days), like when you go to get something at a mall, leave your dog in the car, then no one will break into it

Thats priceless

But seriously, set up a camera and hopefully you'll at least get the car that their driving.

The gun ladder and six pack (switch to 24 pack) sounds like a good idea for you and a couple of friends, by the time you all get hammered who knows, those punks might come back, and theirs nothing funner than a little pay back while your cross eyed.

Yeah tell me about it my 95 240sx got broken into twice. Now I'm paranoid about my Max. And the sad thing is alarms don't do anything, they'll just find a way to open your hood and pull out the wires for the battery. And I live in an apartment, I can't afford a garage, dont have a house. Also, would a car cover help? I wish I had other options because I'm gonna get my sr20det engine soon for the 240sx and want to protect my car the best way I can.

just camp in your car with a nice friendly Bat (or even a full size maglite).

If these guys are hardcore, go down to your local pawnshop and pick up a used AK47 . That should keep them quiet

*not implying you shoot them, as to lawsuits

Set up a motion-activated light to light up your car. Then set up a video camera with VCR on long play to record 8 hours over the night. Don't do the night vision thing because it distorts colors. Set it up with a view to capturing the licence plate of the car that they arrive in, if possible, but you MUST catch the act of vandalism otherwise the license plate will be useless. Otherwise just shoot for capturing their faces. Hit record each night, or set up the timer to record 8 hours every.

You want to get a good image of the person's face, especially if you can also capture the act of vandalism at the same time, then putting up posters in all the local shops/supermarkets showing the face, the act and saying; "Do you recognize this person? This person is wanted by the police. Please contact the police department re: case number xxxxxx"

There's an easy fix to that. When you put the valve stem caps on, tighten them up with a pair of pliers. One more turn (maybe only a half turn) ought to tighten them up enough to make it nearly impossible to do with bare hands.

Unless, of course, you've got smart vandals... and how often does THAT happen?
