Makes ya wanna do bad things

So, I came out from eating lunch on Friday to find this. Not sure how they got in. I guess through the key hole somehow. It was messed up pretty bad. I have Jimmy Jammers but they did not try to go below the handle. The new front handle will be a left rear door handle with no lock cylinder. They did not take anything but the Pioneer navigation. I wanna beat someone with a lead pipe so bad. Oh well, gotta make an insurance claim. They dented the door, tore up the dash, and bezel. The alarm went off but they were not in the truck more than about 10 seconds I bet. The train horns will now be hooked up to the alarm. To me, the only good theif is a dead theif.

That's terrible, and very much causes you to look over your back more often.

That said - don't beat them yourselves, I hope you caled the police before you touched anything. That's what they are there for. At least I hope thier report and investagation will lead to something.

Good luck...

I have walked up to my truck, actually my Formula S Barracuda, and found the like carnage.

Words cannot describe the anger.... the sob has no idea the beating I would have imposed, or the lack of compassion I would have felt, if I would have happened upon the act.

I am not a tough nut, but the actions and behavior from non-respectful individuals, such as these, need to have their attitude changed.

That stinks man, just make sure you pipe those train horns INSIDE the cab. Maybe you can make them bleed a little!!

While your at it, maybe an auto pepper spray, and some directional microwaves as well!!!!

When they step out next time all you have to do is look for a bleeding, crying, smoking punk!!!

Sorry to hear this. The exact same thing happened to me a couple of years ago at northern tool on I20 and 360 in grand prairie. Right through the key hole. I completely understand your frustration.

Not that it is going to help, but I did call the police and they did a report and finger printed the truck.

I'm hoping someone will come out with a small remote controlled pack of C4 to put in the radios. Then if it happens again I can laugh as the mushroom cloud rises in the distance.

Someone did my 99. The idiot cut all the wiring in the area to make sure they got the 29.99 radio out cleanly. Thought I'd never get it all put back together.

I think I see in the pic two spots on the dash cap where a prybar was used to pop everything apart. Look close at that. Now's the time to have it replaced.

I wouldnt have let them finger print it. More than likely wont get any leads and now youve got a mess, a nasty mess.
