NOOOOOOOO it happened to me this morning. i cant believe it those DAMN BASTARDS!!!!!!!!! well let me tell the whole story.

I woke up this morning at about 3:30 AM because something just told me to go check on the car. so i went out there and everything was fine and dandy. so i was like better safe than sorry right, wrong. when i woke up to go to work i went outside again and i saw my window was pried out and the window molding had some BAD damage. they ripped out my A pillar and took the gauges. they also broke open my glove compartment where lo and behold i left my fiancee camera because we forgot about it. so far i have spent about close to 400 dollars on getting my window fixed and ordering new parts, sad part is im not done. my dad felt really bad for me so he is going to help me get an alarm. im getting the one that has that pager device on it so at least i know whats going on. also im going to buy my g/f a new camera so thats about another 400.00. just a really bad day!!!!!

 

I've had stuff stolen out of my old car and it really makes you keep your guard up. Sorry this had to happen to your Max...right when you were about to add the Climate Control mod. At least they couldnt steal that. Hope everything works out.

 

thx man i appreciate that. does anybody have any suggestions on alarms at this point i dont care about price. ok lets try and keep it under 700.00, i was thinking about that alarm system that comes with a pager what do u all think???

 

$400? Why not put in an insurance claim? Your deductible won't go up at all because it is not your fault. Even if your deductible is $500 and the total damage including the camera is $700, you still get a $200 check from the insurance company. Plus if you tell them that you collection of 500 CDs was stolen as well, you might get a little more $$.

 

haha yeah im thinking of claiming because as of right now were i stand on damage and stolen items from the car exluding the camera is around 800.00, which should help me out a bit on getting a good alarm.

 

Sorry to hear about the loss Dario, I hope it all works out for you. If you're interested in a pager-type alarm system, I remember reading somewhere that BigDog had one installed after his break-in, you could try PMing him...

 

You would be crazy not to claim. It's free money. No strings attached.

You would also be crazy not to lower your deductible to $250 if it isn't already that low.

But you need to claim ASAP because the insurance company will start to wonder if you wait any longer.

 

Wasim - thx for the info

asu174 - i already called the insurance just waiting for them to return my call on the situation. i guess i already made the claim sorry i thought it was official when i pay the deduc. and yeah i am going to lower the deduc for sure as well as claiming the new goodies i put on the car.

 

I think TimW has alarm pager info as well.....

 

cool thanks andy, do u guys happen to know what the brand name is on the pager alarm????

thx man again you are a LOT of help

 

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Just wondering what happened to the factory alarm system when those bastards jacked into your car? I thought that alarm should be activated when someone enter the car w/o using the key?

 

not unless they open the door, which really sucks since they didnt.

 

****ty.

 

damn that sucks

btw: i have the Crimestopper CS-2015FM which has the page feature if your alarms goes off--- i've had nothing but problems & dont recommend it....I'll most likely be switching to a Compustar Pager Alarm or a AutoPage alarm system w/ page feature...

 

cool thanks for the heads up on that one, i too was actually looking at the autopage. ive heard some really good things about it, so i think im getting close to making my decision on my alarm.

 

As I recall, BDJ's only complaint is some features work farther than others. The overall range he said was pretty good.. just annoyed that sometimes you can arm it at one distance, but starting is like closer or something.. Even tho, I saw him start it from across a parking lot so thats not bad either.

He said the in-car temp feature was freaky sometimes. Like the first time you check, it correct.. but was giving odd readings if you checked it again right away. Dunno..

 

well the autostart feature isnt a biggie nor is the inside temp. what exactly is the inside feature good for anyway??

 

well, how cold is it or how hot is it in there? oh, I think I'll start the car and warm/cool it before I get in there.

 

oh and ok thx Tim
