Just had some low life break into my truck
Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 11:01 am
Went to start my truck to go to work. To live the american dream, only to discover some low life smashed my dash all to hell to steal my Alpine mp3/cd player. Cobra DV 4? CB, I think a few CDs, a NRA multitool. Shockingly they saw my amp and 10" sub and left it.
They didnt touch my air compressor, winch accessory bag or some other things.
Called the cops, apperantly I was #2 last night. They got some other Chevy vehicle a couple blocks away.
I forgot to post this, so a while later i return to write... I just got another Alpine unit, similer to my old one, they wanted $229 to install. They gave me $30 off since I was doing it myself, and the theif was kinda enough to leave the radio antenna adapter. I paid $210 out the door.
Went to two salvage yards, neither had a dash panel. GUess ill check ebay, I got a UPS buddy checking with a chevy dealer now to see what kinda deal he can get. If its not bad, I might have a panel tonight.
Ill use one of dads old CBs for the time being a guess.
They didn't even take the face plate holder for the radio (detachable face) They might have needed that!
I know what I did... or rather didn't do.... I forgot to lock it,,, the one time..... I got home and went into the garage to get some deer meat from my freezer, hands full, I didn't lock my truck. The one time.... Becuase if they had jimmyed the door, the alarm woulda went off.
Lesson learned if nothing else. I do have the serial number from my old radio so gonna call the cops and give that to them so they can enter it into their database.
