?? Are audio stickers ads for thieves ???
I see all these guys with huge stickers of "kicker, pioneer, alpine,
etc...." displayed on their windshield or rear window. And I ask to my self, isnt this advertising their stuff to thieves? I myself had a sticker of Rockford that came with my amp on the inside of my car, but after thinking about it, I removed it. What do you guys think??? |

Definantly a big sign that says "Hey there is lots of cool stuff in here, come look." I have never understood the concept of advertising the fact that you have expensive audio gear in the car. It just seems stupid. But then again so are the guys that come home everyday with thier stereos blasting, again just letting every would be thief know exactly what car to come after. Les |

it is, but then again it really doesn't matter. Most people who have a
system stolen, have it stolen by someone they know, not a friend but still someone they know. I guess it also depends where you live though. -- sl2perfect ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online!

If my neighbours can afford Porsches, BMWs, and Mercs. I think they can go
out and buy their own damn system. Plus I keep my car in my garage. Secure your subbox and other equipment with a padlock or other cabling (Almost like the Laptop locks). That way it isn't like someone is just taking your speakers out of the car (with the Alarm going off), but the guy will have to use bolt breakers, and you can't carry those in your back pocket. By securing the equipment, my insurance covers my equipment, if by any chance someone gets by my alarm. "jp" wrote in message ...

?? Are audio stickers ads for thieves ???
BIG YES!!... thats why car audio equipment makers have decals. It
advertises their brand name to everyone, including thieves. Equipment gets ripped off, and being the addicts we are, we buy more equipment to replace whats been stolen. I have had 2 systems stolen off my driveway, one in a nissan king cab pickup and the other in my 2-door accord. Both were on rainy nights, the sound of rainfall masks the noise. My folks live in a wealthy california bay area suburb with homes currently starting at $550,000. My parent's small neighborhood had a rash of 48 car thefts/break-ins in a 3 week period, one of which was my accord and its $5,000 system. Eventually they recovered the car minus the stereo / rims, in the (insert derogatory slurs here) getto. All the (insert derogatory slurs here) getto trash know where the "good stuff" is and they steal from them. I have since moved out and have my own garrage to park my current system. So... as cool as it looks I stay away from decals of any kind.

What do you guys think??? Stickers or playing it loud. Same effect, if not worse. If your system sounds good, they can also follow you and then rip it off. This is why I don't bother with 3rd market crap. Just try to buy the best upgrade when buying a new car. Way too much cash/insurance hassles/broken windows issues. Dan |

Either that or you're doing something wrong. I've been putting audio
systems in my cars for ten years and have never had anything stolen. -- Mark Zarella zarellam at upstate dot edu "Dan J.S." wrote in message ... "jp" wrote in message ...

Maybe not most, but quite a bit are. Many others are largely people
trolling through parking lots, etc. Brandonb Mark Zarella wrote: it is, but then again it really doesn't matter. Most people who have a system stolen, have it stolen by someone they know, not a friend but still someone they know. I don't think so. |
