Grand Theft Stereo..

This morning a rude shock awaited me !!
6.30 AM-started for work for a 8.00AM appointment ,but to see that my car stereo has been stolen.The thief ,for sure, must be a professional,gained access to inside of my car by manipulating the rubber lining of the window glass,opened the lock/door and took away the newly fixed a week old MP3 player set + remote controls for the set.
Why the hell did he leave the operation manual in the car ??He should have taken that along for a complete set !!

Called 911 ,waited for NYPD to arrive ,filed complaint..long procedures, cancelled appointments at work..a totally screwed up day !!

NYPD officer said "Thank god for your car is safe " YEAH !!

வாழ்க நியுயார்க்!!

My car does have an alarm/anti theft system,but if something is bound to happen, it happens.Usually in NY, the vehicle alarm goes off even when a music blaring car passes by .Its quite common to hear the alarm all day, so none actually bothers even if the alarm goes off for a serious thing !!
.............................
I bought this car hardly about 20 days ago ,and had planned a blog post about it..but least expected that this would happen !!

Is this thing insured, I know its a dumb question, just want to know if there anyway it will be replaced by the insurance.

Prabhu, sorry about the loss but you know this is the US and especially you being in NYC, you are lucky the car was intact. BTW, you did not mention if the alarm went off (or you never had an alarm system in the first place). I have been in Philly and know the perils of city living. In other words, I feel your pain.

Narayanan Venkitu said...

Sorry to hear that Prabhu.!
Can't help it I guess..Happens all the time here.!!.! Especially in a city like NYC these would be more.

I think you should invest on a club atleast ( Wal Mart sells it) fo protect your car.
And then, the next time, please get one of Players with a detachable face. I installed one recently.!

BTW , Last year, my van was broken and they removed the TV and the VCR!!

SAd..SAD..!! Sorry again.

Oh Poor, didnt expect to read this..

narayanan said...

Oh thats really bad, car stereos are some thing s that are frequently stolen. enna tecnology valarndhu enna prayojanam, adhayum thaandi professional'a illa thirudaraanga :(

"Mr.Thief had left this behind for me "

This guy is either too smart, or a little dumb to do this. Too smart if he had'nt left any or someone else's fingerprints, a little dumb if he'd left his. NYPD should nail him if he falls under the latter.
