what is a radar detector anyway? Is it like a signal booster?

 

Is this a serious question?

 

If im not mistaken mostly every public/private garage is monitored by cameras because ive heard of storys like this and it was on tape. Might want to find out. Mike.

 

sorry to hear about that man

all that for a radar detector

 

dude no, it adds about 53 rwhp to the car. Depending on which brand you buy.

 

Sorry to hear about that.

My experiences have been that V1's get stolen more often then others because they are so identifiable and are known as the most expensive ones. That's one of the reasons I like my X50. It looks pretty much like any other detector, but you can't mistake a V1 for anything else.

 

so ur alarm didnt go off ??

 

Dang, I'm going to have to make more of an effort to hide mine unless I park it at work (lots of security) or my garage.

hahahahaha funny but ur wrong...mine got 8000rwhp when i ran at 900lbs of boost on my radar detector, AND im now in the 3 second 1/4 mile range, BOO YA!


o, but sorry to hear about the radar, thats why i chose the escort SRX

 

Where in Dallas did this happen? Mine was broken into inside my locked garage at my house in McKinney about 2 months ago. It spent 3 weeks at Park Place Lexus waiting for parts.

 

BTW, make sure you call Valentine to report the stolen serial number and your police report number. Valentine says that it is pretty common for theives to try and get a new "clean" V1 by sending it in for a repair or upgrade.

 

They broke into your house???

 

dang.. sorry to hear about all these cars getting broken into.... definately keep your valuables out of sight!

 

Technically, they did break into my house, but they didn't try entering the living area (even though I didn't lock the door from my garage into the living area). The cop was amazed that someone would commit such a serious felony (aggravated burglary of a residence) just for a friggin' radar detector. It is only a misdemeanor if it is in a driveway or parking lot. What's even more surprising is that they didn't take any of my tools or wheels, which would be much more "liquid".

 

Agree condolences to the victims here.. I know how it feels to come out and see your window smashed and your personal property taken. Causing you more in hassle and damages than the items were worth.. Lets just all hope they catch your theives.
