What's going on here?!
Well, I am home sick from work today and decidied that I needed a CD out
of my car to make me feel better. Well, the EXACT opposite happened!!! I
went out to get the CD and guess what.....the whole friggin' CD player was
missing!!!! Some low life scum decided that stealing my stereo is better
than getting a job at McDonald's (which is the only place scum like this
can work) and paying for it!!! LUCKILY, my CD's were there, but that is
only a half consulation!
In the end, I guess that I should be blaming myself, because it is an
Alpone 7807 CD detachable face CD player and I always keep the face under
the seat. Now, all I can assume is that soemone knew this and decided that
I was an easy target. Also, I have one of those "blinking light" fake
alarm things and with the tintied windows, it looks very REAL! Someone
MUST have know this or learned this over time. There was also the INFAMOUS
"pry mark" under the drivers door handle. So, if anyone is offered an
Alpine 7807 with Gold Apline lettering on the face plate, you know who to
tell (or just hit them with a baseball bat...I don't mind).
The ever bigger bummer about this whole thing is the heater controls!
This pile of S**t had no idea what he was doing and decided to destroy the
heater controls to get the stereo out! Now, with Steamboat just a short 3
days away, this causes some problems. Call me crazy, but driving to the
mountians in below zero weather is not my idea of a good time!
I need to go back out and do some better assertaion of the damage (it wa
snowing and I was in a long sleve shit and sweat pants), but as far as I
can tell all the control knobs and slide controls are gone as well as the
face plate for the heater/AC controls. The diff. lock panel is in tact,
but everything from there up is GONE!!!!
Moral of the story: take your face plate with you! Run (don't walk) to
buy those "pry guards" for your door handles (They DO work)! And if you
have the means, have that company in CA. electrify your entire car while
you are away from it!!!!
Thanks for letting me use the BW!
