the funniest story i EVER heard about stolen cars happened to my bro-inlaw. at GaTech, his built camarco got stolen from Peter's Parking deck. It was gone for 2 weeks. The cops found it in the projects and gave it back to him to check over for damage (it wasn't stripped). He hopped in, started looking around and noticed that those 12" custom boxed fosgates weren't there before, neither was the fosgate 200W amp, crossover, or head unit w/ 6 disc changer. His response was "Yes sir, everything looks fine." - it was about $5000 worth of ICE! - here's where Darwin makes his appearance- a week later the SAME TWO GUYS tried to steal it again b/c they wanted the stereo stuff back !!!!! he caught them this time and called the cops. they cornered them inside of a block and sent them off the AssRape land!
I plan on doing the "hidden fuel switch" trick to try to prevent this. (wiring in a kill switch into the leads on the fuel pump and hiding it somewhere in the car) I'm thinking about hollowing out a section of the padding in one of the A-pillars and mounting a push button switch under the cover. or maybe behind the passenger seat up under the upholstery.... hmmm..... :naughty:
That's by far the funniest car theft story I've ever read. I'm so used to stories of car thieves stripping down cars and leaving them in an alley, I guess I never thought that a dumbass thief would keep a car to OWN after stealing it, and actually HOOK IT UP!!
Man..that's great that he got to keep all that stuff, though. Also: "AssRape land" - lol!!!
