My car got broken into, what should i do?

[67cst]

hey guys i got a couple questions, this morning i went to go to work and my car had be busted into, the punks stole my deck and cds, now what i need to know is should i do a claim because my deck was just wired up and it was under my front seat, this was becuase i didnt wanna do it in the dash cause it was going in the 67 pretty quick here once it was on the road, also about 40 cds were stolen, and almost all were real cds like not burned, this is what really pisses me off royally because now im screwed...i had all the acdc, van halen, metallica, offspring, good soundtracks etc....fuc k im so choked i wanna kill...does anyone have any ideas on what i should do, only friends knew i had the cd player on the floor like that and i know none of them would steal it but i have a feeling whoever took it knew about it....anyways im done ranting so what do you guys think?

you know the old addage:
a thief always returns to the scene
of the crime, be ready this time!!

a little bait makes it easier to catch a RAT

yeah i was thinking that, im gunna tell all my buddies that whoever leads me to the theif will get something as a reward...its more the cd's that piss me off, cause they are hard to replace and were worth a lot more then the deck

Man that sucks Derek, I'm real sorry to hear this!!! Depending on your policy I think that ICBC will probably cover most of your contents for theft (no matter if the stereo was under the seat or in the dash). I can burn some C.D.'s for you later on after I get settled in my new place, I've got some good rock music. And in light of this bad news you can have that gauge bezel we spoke about (no charge), just stop by and pick it up. This will be my last post on the board for some time as my internet will be disconnected today, later Doug

you should have called the police as soon as you found the break in , try putting in a claim with both car and homeowner insurance. chances are it's someone that know's you that did this, bottom line it doesn't pay to advertise what you've got and if they're going to steal it don't make it easy for them!!!!

hey guys, just talked to icbc and its a 300 $ deductible, so im not going to bother going through icbc, i know they probably wont cover it anyways because it wasnt mounted, so im gunna wait till my truck is done and get one then

Doug---thanks for the offer on the cds! i have a burner also and plan on making a bunch but again im waiting till i get a deck in the truck so there is no rush for that, and the bezel sounds awesome but ill give ya some money for it, send me a pm if you get a minute, thanks,

quick question were the cds in there cases or in one of the flip cases. you could still call the police and have them dust if you havent touched the car.

[bouncytruck]

Your homeowners/renters insurance may cover the stolen CD's, etc.

[67cst]

they were in a flip case, so im hooped there, and i have been in the car so prints are out of the question, things like this the cops dont even come check out anyways, they dont give a rats ass up here, i didnt have enough stuff to bother with a claim so im gunna have to just eat it....

I had the same thing happen in a Jeep Wrangler, and you think you could get the police to come take a look? It'd be nice if they 'protect and serve' the guy who had his stuff ripped off, or his ride valdalized. Here's a classic; I had a 1993 Saab 900 Turbo Convt. last summer, and some punks came by and made swiss cheese of the top, then keyed about every inch of it. I walked outside, saw it, called the police station, and know what I got? An ANSWERING MACHINE!

Many police depts are funded greatly by traffic violations, hence why they say....

"You can rob a bank, you just can't speed away."

[VTKidder]

Oh....and doesn't it suck that by the time you're finished paying a deductable, running around town to get replacement prices, etc on your stuff, you get a check in the mail for $38.59 to cover your $500 purchase, then your insurance rates go up because you are now a 'risk'?

Might as well bend over and take it up the tailpipe when stuff get stolen unless it's something big like your actual truck. Even then I bet they'd find someway to bend you over.

At least report it to he RCMP. Even if they don't check it out, they will still have you on file. There is always some possibility that the guys will be caught and the stuff recovered.

Thats what happened here. Some guys from out of town hit about 7 cars. They ended up catching one and the rest followed.....found most of the stuff too.

[67cst]

yeah maybe i should report it but i still dont have a recipt to prove that its mine

[MandarinSixSeven]

Ya, they wont cover crap all...I've had my CD's stolen twice and deck once. The one time I valued my stuff to around $400 and they said they would give me $150 with a $300 deductable...sure made me glad to have insurance...dumb phux
