EdgarG0721 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Nothing says i have something to steal more than 5% tint, coming from someone who's brother was a thief i kinda know how they think. There is nothing worse than getting ripped off by someone you know either, needless to say if it weren't for my mom his ass would have been beaten quite badly several times over. Just keep things simple and out of sight and people are none the wiser. Since when is tinting window attract thieves ? I didn't know that I got 2 cars with tints and their both stock the one with out tint is the one with the system......... I'm just surprised I never knew that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just surprised I never knew that I can relate to what he is trying to say. Installing tints on your car might make a person wonder about what could be behind those windows.

Monergist Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yep. I bought my first car and went straight for a sound system when everyone kept telling me to get an alarm. My car got stolen a few months later. From then on, with every car I bought I always installed an alarm first. Sad that for some of us it takes a bad experience before we start making wise decisions. My 40 year old friend just recently bought a Tahoe, threw rims and a system in it the first day and it got stolen a few days later. Everyone was telling him to get an alarm but he didn't listen. He bought a '98 BMW with the insurance money from the Tahoe and did the same thing (bought rims and a system), and he's just now getting around to buying an alarm... He should be slapped. Tints don't make a difference. Buy an alarm and some heat. Also look into air bag suspension and keep it lowered overnight just in case you have those thieves (like in my city) who simply tow cars instead of breaking into them. And pay attention to your surroundings when playing your music loud. A lot of times, thieves will hear your subs and just follow you home (or to wherever you're going). After they know where you live and work, it's a wrap. 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Pioneer AVH-P5200BT Hertz Mille MLK-165 Component System Hertz Hi Energy HCX-165, 6.5 Hertz Hi Energy HCX-690 (6x9s) Audison Voce AV K6 Component System Audison VRX 4.300 Audison VRX 2.250 Sundown 4500D SMD 15" XS Power D3400 (under hood) Three XS Power D3100 (trunk) Monster XLN-201 RCAs DC Power Engineering 390XP H/O Alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanJ Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'm super sorry to hear that man. But hey, forget them and start from scratch again and build a better system TWICE as loud to show whoever stole your system you're capable of bigger and better things. Keep your head up man. Wish you and your family the best of luck.

NMdesertracer Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 If you gt a viper get the glass sensor and interior sensor that sets off the alarm if someone sticks there hand threw the window. 5% tint isnt gonna help if your playing your system loud around your neighborhood. Thats like a green light for theives. I got two cops that live on my block so that helps me out they cruise the hood once a hour. If you cant afford a alarm you might want to buy some "Justin Beiver" stickers and place them on your windows. that way people would not even care to look what you had.

xStatezOfMindZx Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Sorry about having you car broken into, sounds like they didn't go through glass to get inside? I had one of my cars broken into about 8 years ago, whoever broke into my ride couldn't take anything because I had everything bolted down and used torx screws. My alarm went off, my wallet and cell phone was inside and they ran once my alarm kicked in. Most people I know that breaks into cars look for easy targets. Sounds like they were inside your car for a while, hence no alarm led's or sensors? Sorry for the loss bro, maybe some kewl SMD members can donate some gear to you. You can always ask around, if I had any old stuff I would send it your way. You can always get a bumper sticker or window decal stating "Shoot first, ask questions later" or beware of owner. 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch P3 P3D412 in a 4.75 cu. ft sealed box.
