But this ain't no joke.
 
Came home from my slot car race tonight and noticed the interior lights were on in Eliminator. As I got closer this is what I found:

They better pray to their god that the police find them before I do. At the very least they make peace with their god because when I find them I'm going to send them to meet him.

ARS AM/FM/CD/DVD/TV tuner. They didn't get it, but it's busted all to hell. I doubt if I can get it working again.
 
When I called the police I was directed to another number. It was a recorded message that asked for my name, address, ph#, shag (WTF?) age (WTF?) and race (WTF does that have to do with it?) and details on the incedent. That investigation office is closed until monday. So my car gets to sit with a busted out window for two days. And that's IF they actually send somone out to investigate.

Thats ****ed up man, at least they didnt smash out the quarter window too like they did mine.  It was $500 to get a new one.

Ask if the place where it was parked had security cameras. Who knows, you might come up lucky.

There is a product that lets you put infrared cameras mounted behind your rearview that records in a loop. I've been tempted to try it out several times. It's been proven to catch thieves like that.

Here is one I found...will do some more searching.

Lots more stuff here, but none of it is cheap. If you don't have an alarm I'd suggest getting that first. The VERY first thing I did when I bought my car was to get an alarm put in.

Man i feel so sorry for ya.I can say i know how you feel about 1 month ago someone broke in my garage and stole $1000 dollars worth of audio out of my bird.

I also called the cops and it was a good thing my wife was there when they showed up cause i had the trusty old shot gun.I told the cop you find them before me or there will be nothing left to find.

Thank goodness i live in a small town word got out what happened and 1 week later i came home to someone dropping off my stuff.I hope you catch the low life bastered that did this.

I feel for ya, been there done that too many times myself.  The only thing worse than a thief is a stoopid thief that can't even manage to steal something.  But at least they effed up a beautiful car while setting you back a pretty penny.  Douchebags.

More stuff to catch people like that...

Buyer beware, though, as this website warns:

Edit: more info...the "apparent" manufacturer of most of this stuff is a company called SuperTek. Well, I like to find out who really makes things, and SuperTek is apparently just an importer (and that took a LOT of research to dig up). The REAL manufacturer is a company in China called Veboss Electronics and Global Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. (possibly part of the same company?). Just some info for anyone interested in learning more...

Ouch. I've been there, twice. Both times was while I had loaned my father my car because he was having work done to his. He drove the car to work and came back with broken windows and missing stereo gear. The first time they broke the right door glass to steal a Kenwood tape deck (imagine, wrecking a car for a tape deck!!!), the second time they broke the right quarter glass for a cheap JVC CD player. What really pissed me off, though, was that they mangled the dash the second time, much like they did to your car. They broke the tabs on the dash assembly that the bezel screws to. I only just last year fixed that problem by replacing the entire dash.

Oh, and I see they got into yours the same way they got into mine - jammed a screwdriver between the window moulding and door glass. Better get used to the fact that the moulding will never be the same. It simply will not straighten out properly, so even with new glass you'll always have a reminder every time you get into the car :mad:

You may as well cover that window up, Martin, because the police don't care enough that they'll want to gather evidence. They'll never catch the thief - they just don't have the resources to go after every petty theft.
