Another think they will total it thread ?
Long story short , my car was stolen out of my garage two nights ago , and recovered yesterday. They completely tore through my center console , yanked my radio, left a tear in my driver seat , tore up a piece of my trim on the lower passenger side. While trying to take off my rear plate they managed to somehow break the fiberglass off the bumper so no plate could be mounted their anymore. I mean seriously I was looking up list price on l tuned , a stock radio from lexus is 1600.00 is that how insurnace companies work ? Or will they make me try junkyards first ? My one thought is that the rear bumper will have to be replaced. it sustained enough damage. Also they have my keys which means they could come back again and take it. Will Farmers pay to get my ignition and locks redone ? I've never been in this situation before. Some advice and helped is needed . than kyou

I know people will ask how they got my keys . They broke into my roomates truck , used his garage door opener to gain access to the house. While in the house they stole my laptops and x box 360. Lying next to my latop was my keys . Meanwhile the entire time i was sleeping upstairs. Guess I'm jsut glad they didn't want anything else. All I know is my car is covered in fingerprint dust and smells like cigarettes now. I hate it

Sorry to hear that bro Hope you get it all back together soon. People are screwed up. You should have had those james bond door handles that shock you when you touch them lol. But good luck. Ive got a stock radio for cheap if you are looking.

oh i still have my stock radio, but i'm not telling them that lol. The funniest damned thing is though , when they ripped out my avic-d3 . they failed to take anything else other than the deck itself. They failed to take any of the gps components. How do they plan on getting it to work ?

Hey since they have your keys you could always just get every key hole changed(expensive and time consuming) or you could create a fuel pump relay switch which cuts off power to the fuel pump. You hide it under the dash or something so only you know where it is. Cut it off when you get out, cut it on when you get in. If someone stole it the car would start but only have what fuel is left in the lines. Maybe it would be enough for them to get down the road and then it would cut off and theyd be like OH WTF. Hopefully the car would stall right in front of a cop lol. They would just think its out of gas lol

all good ideas , but truthfully I want the car gone. My auto couture kit thank god was not on the car , and they managed to not be able to get my tail lights or wheels. For that I am thankful, but does anyone think the damage is enough to total it ?

sorry to hear it bro...Mossberg Maverick 12ga are $204 with tax from Academy, and a box of 5 rifled slugs is $6..sorry, I dont bs around with theives..I'd be waiting in the garage for the next few weeks, but be sure you work on the car in plain view...then wait. I gurantee 1 solid pump from a 12ga, they wont move, hold them at point, call PD, and done...be sure to give the bastard the 12 ga shell that was chambered and tell him next time it will be an ambulance that is called, not the cops.

I always hate to hear about these type of threads. Good luck with your insurance settlement. They will get what they got coming to them.
I hate this happened to you and especially another SC brother!

A friend of mine got his 2008 Charger R/T stolen out of his garage at a private home no less, and his keys were inside as well.

lol oh i've got guns , the locks have been changed , garage has been reprogrammed , he will no longer be parking in the driveway. Also they got my adt keyring keypad , so that had to be reprogrammed. After speaking with an adjustor over the phone , he thinks the car has enough damage to total it out. I won't be selling any of my parts , I'll probly end up buying the car back from the insurance. It still has the tokico shocks, espe springs , brand new control arms and steering rack bushings , that alone makes the car worth something back to me.
