Now if someone enters your home to steal or tries to carjack you, different story.
Not if he lived in Texas...

Im sure he wants retail price since I assume he is going through insurance. Happened to my Lightning back in the day.

BIG thanks guys. Love this forum.

She's in the shop now, they are taking a look under the car where the bricks where. One the bright side I'm getting my front bumper repainted and getting the new 2012 rims(14 spoke)

Oh yeah, she's def getting garaged every night now

That was the end of the attempted theft.

I need to do #2 myself.
Security cameras are easily smashed How does #2 work?

You're in Florida, you were just standing your ground.
I can't shoot first but they definitely would have had my shotgun up their azz if I heard em

Was going to get a tilt sensor but it will go off if you park on an incline or decline.
If someone really wants your car they will get it but you gotta make it as difficult as possible for them so they will forget you and move on to another mark. sorry bro.. park it in the garage everynight
Yeah these guys just smashed or unscrew the motion sensor on flood lights. I wanna put em high up but next would be on the roof Can you take a pic of yours so I can see where you put em?

As many people have said, check on eBay, Craigslist, and the local pawn shops. Having your TPMS IDs handy will help in case some wheels are found by the police. Let me know, I have a TPMS reader to get the original IDs from your ECU, and a TPMS scanner to scan on-the-fly TPMS IDs from wheels. Also, I'd consider an alarm with proximity/shock/tilt sensor. A good Clifford will cost you around $400 installed.

Good luck!
Thanks doggy! I wasn't gonna go the alarm route cause the cause is stock but now Im really thinking bout it. I just hate how they always go off in weather
