300ce violated last night

heard the alarm go off at 4 a.m. peeked out and could see the lights flashing

first instinct was to grab the shotgun head downstairs and confront the MFers, but common sense and my recent health issues took over. i figured i had lost a window and hopefully they ran after the alarm went off. i waited for a little light and went down about 6:30 to check, and this is what i found

will call the police when the sun comes up and then see what real damage has been done ~~~~ soooooo pissssssssssed

Anything else damaged except the window?

What do the police think? Vandalism or thieves?

I would have worried about some of the spray hitting the car. The people who do this do crash and burn eventually.

Looks like they took the radio and for whatever stupid reason they ripped the center console apart. I can't believe that happened Was it the original radio or an aftermarket unit?

Car stereos are not even that valuable anymore.....I don't understand why thieves still bother trying to steal them. I mean, 15-20 years ago a nice head unit cost several hundred $$....if not over a thousand. Nowadays you can get a really fancy head unit for like $150-250 or less.....and it begins becoming less valuable and outdated every week it has been in the car.

One stereo is enough to get them a hit or two of their drug of choice. That's all that matters to them.

Losers... They did hundreds of dollars in damage to steal a radio that they will sell for 40 dollars... Thats why I keep a .45 on my nightstand, and a scoped 30.06 in the closet just in case they are too fast for me.
