I'll post pics tomorrow but my bad luck with cars continues! Some might remember that my wife's wheels were stolen at a movie theater...well my headlights were stolen tonight at a different theater! I guess I won't be going to the movies anymore!

 

Ouch!!!!

How much damage did they do to the car trying to get them out?

 

That sux... Sorry to hear

 

You'll see tomorrow but in short they bent the hood up and pulled the quarter panel fronts back a bit (both). They pulled out a bit of the grill and bumper is no longer aligned.

I am so fucking pissed right now I could kill someone! The cop dusted it for prints but it looks like all they have are smudges (good palm print but the cop said it is unlikely to help).

 

that's f'd up man. sorry.

 

So i guess insurance will be covering the paint job you were asking about earlier. The entire front end of your car will be repainted. You might wanna make a deal with the shop and have them do the whole car if you pay a lil. Might cost you like $500 more to do the whole car.

 

man, sorry to hear about that. hearing stories like this really gets me pissed.

may death come swiftly and severly to those theives.

 

Sorry to hear Hope they catch the fockers..

 

damn friz. lucks not in your corner. sorry to hear

 

i would suggest moving to a better town...
i feel your pain. when you get robbed it feels like you got beat down or something. sorry.

 

dang..... sorrie to hear abt that dude

 

dang. after reading about all this shit getting jacked, I'm gettinga shock sensor and attaching it to my stock alarm. "fuck the fucking fuckers"

 

Not even in the town I live in! No place is safe (except in a garage!)

Anyway, here are the pics:

 

OH my god!! I can't believe that someone couuld be that desperate! I'm sorry bro. It makes you just want to hurt someone.

 

Fucking Savages... WTF is up with some people.

 

What theater/town?

 

Christ man thats painful to look at.

Sorry to hear about this ferizzo.

 

ferrizo-- Fu^& man.. makes me SICK to see that.

 

^werd x1000!!!

 

Wheels were stolen in Natick (AMC theater)
HIDs were stolen in Braintree (AMC theater)

Looks like I won't be going to the movies EVER!

Believe I want to hurt someone now. I've though about buying a gun, taking my car to the movies, hiding in the bushes and waiting for someone to try again!

 

goddamn... if u ever find out who did these and theres not enough evidence to get em... let me know i'll roll through

i would be so pissed if that happened to me... holy shit

hey it looks as if your icebox is getting more cold air though.

 

damn... sorry to hear about this feriz... thats horrible.

 

I thought the same thing last night just to try and calm me down.

 

damn dude, that fucking sucks. headlight thefts are common here as well.

here's a few things i do to help not get them stolen:

park in a well lit area.
park where there's some traffic.
park backwards... leave the headlights exposed to the public (works best in areas with some traffic)
add a shock sensor to the headlights, they will blink if the alarm goes off and light up the whole area.

 

:'(

 

BTW did you drive it home at night w/out the lights, get it towed or what?

 

when it happened to my buddy, they told him to just turn on the fog lights and drive that way... it was like 2am.

 

Do you have an alarm or shock sensor?

 

Sorry to hear that. I thought this was an old post b/c I remember you posting a while ago about something being stolen on your car. Then I read the thread and realized it was your wife's wheels. I don't know what I would do if someone broke into or stole something on my car. I have never even let someone drive my car or even sit in the driver seat. I would probably do this I can't say I feel your pain but I feel bad for you.

 

That is really fvcked up! There are some really desperate people that would mess up the whole front end for a couple of HID's.

 

Sorry to hear of your troubles.
Although it sounds like an excellent justification to the wife for spending a couple of grand on a nice Home Theater system.

Shawn, true.

Chap, at first the cop suggested I get it towed but I told him I live close enough and can use my fogs (at least they are a little brighter than the CLS fogs - not a dig, just that it was helpful). I ended up following the cop to the station because I wanted them to see if they could get the fingerprints off the car (not that I have any hope it will help).

 

OUCH!!! Those pics are painful to watch!!!

I hope they catch those fawkers!!

 

Since this is so common, what do the theives do with the head lights? Sell them, swap them into civics? I just don't get how it's worth the risk and the trouble for headlights.

 

take out the hid's and sell them for about $200.

 

Both. Now that it is illegal to get aftermarket HIDs its a nice profit for the thieves to steal and sell them. Think about it, it probably costs 200-300 bucks per HID so you figure they can sell them for half the price and make out pretty darn well...meanwhile our insurance goes up because it now costs 2k-4k to replace everything!

 

They sell them to the place that repairs your car. I am not kidding either.

 

perhaps the HID bulbs and stuff yes, but i doubt the casing.

 

You're right, the casings are tossed cause they get messed up when you take a crow bar to one.

 

Damn man that sux. Thats something i never thought of
