I bet your probably one of those people with the giant car audio banner across your window. Those things practically advertise your stuff to be stolen. Hell I wouldn't be suprised if they threw your stuff in the trash after stealing just to show you a lesson.

?? I'm the only one that has said anything about showing off in this thread. Is that directed at me ? FWIW, no audio banners on my car, ever.... it was an 85 Jetta and my stuff was stolen in 96 or 97.

Despite your original sentence, your post does build into a flame, especially when you start to suggest what type of person they are.

[EDIT-Response] What can I say, I was a kid, I'd put more money into that system than anything else I'd bought. Was it stupid to show off ? Maybe. Did I want to share it with my friends whom I tend to see more at school than anything else, yess.

I guess the lack of anything in your sig tells us how on the dl you are about your car audio.

It just pisses me off when people can't get enough enjoyment out of just listening to their stereo, they have to show it off at school. The thing that makes me more mad is when people show off their stereo and it actually sucks. They will have that look on their face like "hahaha check it out guys isn't it gnarly" even though it's the biggest heap of junk you have ever seen.

there is always some stupid people who think that if their dady doesnt buy them stuff than they have to steal it from us who live and dream car audio. and work our ***** off to afford all of our stuff...i do it one thing at a time..when i have $ for what i want...i had my whole system before i bought my car...so that when i got a car i could take it and have my alarm put in it..and that is what i did...i have had people attempt to steal my stuff in the middle of the night and thanks to my alarm they were unsuccessful....

Part of the first system I had was stolen out of my front yard one night. I had an 86' Mazda pickup with 2 MTX Thunder 5000 10's and a 325 watt MTX amp, with a Pioneer cd player that I had got 4 days before, and the b@stard ripped it out, breaking the mounting bracket that holds it in and stole my amp, he also stole 48 cd's out of my brothers s-10, and some sunglasses out of my dads work truck. A couple weeks later, one of my friends dad that lives in my neighborhood called and said a boy next door to him was installing a stereo in his car. So me and my dad went over there and asked him about it, and he said he bought it from the flea market (BS). So we got the cops over there and I knew it was mine because it had a scratch on the trim and I still had the box with the serial number. But all the cop did was make him give me the cd player back, he wouldnt even look for the amp. Then, when I went to put the cd player back, it wouldnt work. When he pulled it out, he messed up the wires.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif (He would've been screwed).//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

Go to that guys car and jack you stuff back. It has to be in there. He can't call the cops because he stole it in the first place. Don't dp anything to his car though or else if he thinks it's you he'll do stuff to yours.
