My poor hood..

[masonvonritchie]

So I went outside this morning to install my new halo lights only to find that some a**hole keyed my car last night... Right in the middle of the hood. I'm not sure if insurance can cover that kind of thing but I'm going to get ahold of my insurance company anyway. I'm going to keep a baseball bat right next to my front door so if I ever see anybody around my car, I'll make sure they don't mess with my car again.

That sucks.. I dougt it is worth going to insurance though.. it would be covered most likely but you will have to pay you're deductible first. Then if to many claims you're insurance goes up or cancelled.. So in end cheaper to just pay for it you'rself.

I keep a 5D Mag flashlight around for such people :)

Man, that sucks royally and I feel for ya.... after being in a new apartment complex for just 2 days, someone broke into my car, took my touchup paint and wrote "****ing Camaro ***" on my driver's side glass... nothing missing or anything broken or ripped up either...

Re: My poor hood..

Re: My poor hood..

Re: My poor hood..

I had my car broke into a few weeks ago, I had about $1000+ of network and phone test equipment in back seat, did not touch it but stole my volt meter, and my red mag flashlight. My car doors were open which I do ALOT, I figure I have a convertible the top is easy to cut and expensive to replace. I have been debating puttiung in some IP cameras, few hundred dollars but piece of mind might be worth it.

Re: My poor hood..

Sorry to hear about it man! I've been considering setting up some kind of surveillance system for this kind of stuff. It's ridiculous what people do to other peoples stuff just because they are too lazy or stupid to work for nice things themselves.

Re: My poor hood..

There is some nice IP cameras out their now. down to $100 give or take.. you have to draw wire and power.. Don't waste money on wireless still need to draw power so... DVR's can be expensive, but standalone can have it upload video etc to computer when motion detection.. or just fake cams.. will scare away 90% of people.

Re: My poor hood..

yeah, well alarms, locks, scanners and cameras will only keep honest people out. if a thief wants somthing, he/she is getting it. Which is shytty

You're right dude, and that's the sad thing. I could call the police but they wouldn't do anything about it.. It's not worth getting the insurance company involved, as stated before.. This is one of those things that you just can't do anything about. Most people would be scared off by an alarm, but again, you're right. If a person really wants something, they'll get it.

Well I can't find out for sure. There's always high school kids running around my neighborhood, I'm sure it was one of them.

Re: My poor hood..

Camera locks etc.. are a deterrent even to non-honest people. We were getting break ins almost nightly behind one of our restaurants. We are planning to put in full video surveilance but that takes time. So for a quick fix we put in a few fake cams in back parking lot. Not one break in, in over 2 weeks.
