He is lamenting the fact that he had his 4Runner broken into...been there, it sucks. I was just curious as to how this turned into a lesson about how drunk driving is bad when it sounds like he never once considered it in his original post.

Stevo3...sorry about the second hijack in this thread.

 

I think we both were.....although it was in hindsight.
Since perhaps he could have tried to drive home (drunk) in an effort to thwart the theft of his car stereo equipment.

 

best security system park it inside...if someone comes in meet them with a shotgun

 

Ric that is the best way to look at it. I'd take getting jacked a stereo over a dui/dwi anyday. as i said earlier tho, im still pissed and glad at the same time that they only broke my deck and took my sirius. left behind the easier stuff to take. but broke the most expensive piece of equiptment

 

Same thing happened to me last month but they smashed out the wing vent window on on my truck. I had the last laugh thou i had the Serial No to my deck. The guys pawn it two days later and got busted, now they have to pay $450.

 

i have the strongest feeling that my insurance is not going to cover it though..... i have a 1000$ deductable and the stereo + the sirius reiever and car kit = out to about $1400... Which im thinking its not going to be worth it to make a claim and have my insurance jump. Ill probly be paying for that stuff again, out of my own pocket.

 

now you can understand why im so bummed. maybe

 

My insurance didn't cover my aftermarket deck. I just found out that i have to pay $5-10 more a month to cover all my aftermarket stuff. Plus I have to pay more to cover the glass.

 

yeah im heading to my insurance agent today to see what i would have to be paying for it to be around the 250 - 500 range. and drop my beretta from my insurance cause it has been sittin at my dads house for over 2 years(wont pass emmisions anymore).

 

yeah, a 100 deductible versus 500 versus 1000 was only about $50 difference each bracket, half the year I'm in an area with a lot of deer/vehicle confrontations, other half is in Flint, MI decent rate of crime/vandalism

 

Same with mine. It might be time for you to find another insurance company after this is done.

 

Naw, my insurance is awsome, and my agent is even better. It was my poor choice to do the 1k deductable. And my runnner was on the insurance for a weekend vehicle (7k miles a year) and my beretta was the daily driver, but as soon as i got my runner, i never drove the retta again... and that was over 2 years ago . What can i say, yota's kick arse!

 

compared to a bretta i would hope so.

 

was in and out of a supermarket and i walked out to someone in my car. he saw me and then ran to the explorer thats when i jumped on the step bar of the explorer and hit him couple of times.....then i see a minivan comming i jumped out at about 15 mph and then BAM the lady got tboned....they got away and i had to call an ambulance for the lady becuase she had a neck injury....im guessing the to suspects where illegal aliens in a stolen car. hopefully they find them becuase not only breaking and entering but a hit and run which is a felony....it just sucks becuase you can have anything nice anymore.....

 

As a young guy with a 'misguided' youth growing up in NY, I did alot of stupid smash and grab stuff. Now older and 20+ years later, looking back on that stuff, can't believe I was the same person. If it happens to me now, it's karma I suppose....but I'll still wanna kick someone's azz. Sorry that happened to ya and glad they didnt take all your goodies

 

yea the only thing i cant find was a pack of cigarettes...stupid idoits...im guessing he just got in my truck and then i came...you can see the screwdriver still in the dashboard......but man did those few punches feel good...it was worth the broken window
