Happened to my first truck, stole the entire stereo system. 3 Precision Power amps ($$$) 2 subs, a capacitor, battery, deck the works... It was parked at a repair shop... I'm sure the alarm was going off like crazy, but for some reason they don't detract criminals anymore... enough people at the grocery store set off their alarms accidently that no one pays attention... kind of like the anti-theft buzzers at Lowes and Home depot... It never fails those go off everytime I leave the store, half the time they deactivate my purchases, the other half they just wave me through without checking my receipts.

My Boss just had his car broken into a few weeks ago, and a few neighbors have had the same over the course of a month or so. He is going to put a $10 bill on his dash, and leave the doors unlocked. Then he's putting a Field Camera (for hunting) tucked nicely in the foot well, and another in his driveway hoping to get a nice picture for the authorities. Atleast the perp better hope, cause if my boss catches him, he might have a slug in his chest.

I recommend a "SMILE YOU'RE ON CAMERA" sticker placed on the window.
