Yeah. Thursday morning I dropped my Z off for the Fuel line recal, and to have the rear axel TSB done cause it's been clicking for almost two years now. They said they would have it back to me that night. Around 5pm I get a call from a service rep and he said they had to overnight parts and they would have it complete on friday. No problem. Friday morning I get a call from the Rep and he says my car was broken into. I'm furious. He made it sound a lot worse than it was, but it still sucks.

So here is why I (and the police) believe someone there did it, or had something to do with it.

1. The alarm was disabled.
2. The windows were not broken, they poped the door handle off. They they poped the sensor off the back of the tumbler and that causes the windows to roll down.
3. Another car, some pos grand am was damaged as well. Same thing, they poped the handle off. But they never tried to get in, and didn't steal anything. It was just to make it look random.

I go to check it out on friday. I get there and the work was complete, but they were trying to figure out why the windows wouldn't roll up. I tried my best to be civil and not flip out on them. But they tore the door apart trying to fix the window, and messed it up really bad. So I had to spend the better part of yesterday trying to reassemble the door correctly and reattach that sensor on my lock tumbler to get the windows to stay up. The damn mechanic kid there knew EXACTLY what the stolen parts were, he's like "You can still drive it, you just can't tune your fuel maps etc" Also, they stole the PC that I built into it, which was completly hidden in the compartment behind the driver seat. No wires or anything, you couldn't tell it was in there and the standard theif wouldn't have even looked behind the seat. They didn't take any cd's or dvd's. Didn't take the emanage or my wideband. They did get my Defi turbo and egt gauges, Greddy Profec e-01, Sirius radio, and my PC.

Good news is, the police got a lot of great finger prints. Fuck me, fuck you motherfucker.

SoCal Meet Sept 04'

That's the shits man, file suit with the dealer. If it was in their lot and broken into, they're liable for it. Plus that'll light a fire under their butts to find the culprit and turn him into the police. Good luck man, don't go Waco on anyone though, even though it might relieve some stress...

Most lots/mechanics/service centers will have a nice big sign hidden in the back of the shop that clearly states in fine print "Not responsible for lost or stolen articles"

Dude Im sorry to hear that..

Maybe so, but that does not translate into, "We can help ourselves to whatever you might have in your car that is of value." A computer, radio, and anything else physically installed in the vehicle is not something "left" like a wallet, cell phone or CDs. The dealership is fully responsible for replacement of any and all articles. Derek, you need to be sure to contact the general manager of the dealership and explain to him that you will be providing him with a list of items stolen and the current retail prices for these items so that he can ensure your satisfaction and properly claim this incident on his insurance without further delay. Should you get a run-around or smoke screen, maybe we can get Jason to volunteer to write a nice letter from an attorney's point of view requesting the same. Fuck thieves and fuck anyone who would hire one!

the only problem is any fingerprint from a dealer employee will be ruled out due to handling the car for repair. So a thief working in the delaer gets an easy out. Truely sad.

Find the motherfucker and I'll help you give him a nice pair of "cement shoes"...he'll be sleeping with the fishes.

That really fucking sucks Derek. Hope you can work things out man.

'98 Talon...gone, but not forgotten

Same shit happened to a friend of mines SRT at a local dodge dealership. these guys went as far as to take the cylinder head from the car, as well as the seats, aftermarket radio and turbo timer. Currently pending litigation against the dealership; i mean come on, they took the damn head from the car, but yes they mantain it wasnt one of the mechanics.

*98 eclipse rs
*2005 srt4 (screw the warranty let the modifications begin)

I read this, and have been thinking about how lucky I've been never having my car broken into.... well I fuckin jinxed myself, last night between midnight and 1am, some dirty illegal (my neighborhood is within walking distance of some suburbian projects where they all live) broke into my car, stole my 300 dollar radio, my 300 radar detector, my 300 xbox that was in the back seat, and my case of cds. I hate people who steal, pretty much the only reason I hope there's a hell.

I'm not going to get any of it back either, and it isn't even worth it to report it to the insurance, so I'm basically fucked over until I can save money to buy that radio again (which I effin loved)

The whole "we are not responsible for lost/stolen items" sign is BS.

They still under the law are responsible if the car was currently in the process of being worked on. Only when you have dropped off a vehicle without their knowledge, or when you drop it off before the date they are supposed to work on it is that sign valid.

Trust me i did a lot of talking to lawyers when the 2.6 got broken into. They HAVE to pay you back for it all.

Or maybe I'll just change insurance companies anyways. This one has been nothing but headaches, but then again I hear its the same with every insurance company. This sure sucks though, thats a grand farther away from turbo or a new car.

(the plastic double din faceplate kinda thing that has a pocket in it and a slot for the radio..)

haha I tried to jack it, but to no avail. My petty nuances seem to be miniscule compared to etx's. But I did figure it was pointless to start a whole new thread when it woulda been basically the same story. Thieves suck. Hope you get yours and he gets fucked by the legal system etx, cuz mine prolly isn't heading anywhere soon, cept the next neighborhood for more radios.
