Yep, first time ever that I have had a car broken into and it sucks. They got my a-pillar with all 3 of my autometer phantom gauges, my cheap ass pioneer radio, and my megaviewer that I just bought off of Dave :/ I didn't even get a chance to wire it in, that was suppose to be done the middle of this month. It's funny that for 3 years I never locked my cars in Tampa and my car has been in Houston for under 3 weeks and this happens. I'm already over the situation (mostly haha). The car can still drive (I hope), i'll just have to touch up some of the wiring that got all ripped out. But it's principal, don't go around stealing peoples shit, get a job. I struggle to make ends meet but I don't go stealing peoples crap. My buddy chris was making a joke tho that the people probably have no idea what the megaview is so it'll probably just get thrown away, sad but probably true. Well, this is my random story/rant, figured i'd share

It sucks, happened a lot with my old car. A few attempts with my DSM, but I learned my lesson. Never keep anything in the car. Faceplate always off the CD player. if you break in, you better have a ratchet to get the seats, because that's all you are getting.

Move ASAP, man. I lived in Houston for three years and had a turbo stolen out of the tool box of my truck, an enclosed trailer with a drag bike, pit bike, and a bunch of nitrous bottle and tools, and a 2003 dodge ram stolen from the parking lot of the theatre less than a mile from my house. Houston has a crime rate from hell. I hate that place

Did you leave your doors unlocked? If you did, at least they didnt break your window. Ive had mine broken out twice. Shitty feeling. But I have my flipout bolted down and chained to the chassis behind the heater controls, so they can break my window and get it, but they wont get that dvd player out. I think next im gonna try the razorblades behind the head unit trick. Heard good results from that.

It works. I have personally done it, someone tried to take out a "nicer" pioneer head unit I had in my old truck, fortunately enough the previous owner stuck 3 razorblades back there. Came out to a broken window & my deck sticking out the dash halfway, blood all over the console & player.
I couldn't figure it out at first, until I started putting it back in, catching on the razorblades. Took it out the right way & found those wedged in between. Sure as shit stopped the guy though.
Try it out. Jeff.

Not sure on how to fix them in position, but basically you put razor blades behind and around inside where your Cd player goes, so when said douche bag attempts to rip your shit out in an adrenaline filled theivery, he cuts the fuck out of his hands, hopefully doing some serious damage. Stories of it working usually end up something like, walk up to the car seeing glass broken, look inside the car to find the CD player moved, but in place, and a lot of blood in the area around your car.

Razor blades huh? How about a hand grenade tucked behind the deck with a ziptie attached to the pin? Thief goes to rip deck out, pulls pin, problem solved. They wont do that again.
