Sorry to hear that. You're right. It's a pain in the ass reporting it and going thru all the paperwork and claims. I had 2 different cars broken into in the early 90's (the golden era of high end car audio theft
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
). One car was so badly damaged that it simply wasn't the same ever again and I had to get rid of it. Those guys got caught though. Nothing short of a miracle. A friend of a friend heard one of them running his mouth and the equipment was very specific. The police found it in the idiot's bedroom. The other one is a mystery to this day. I like to think that karma caught up to them...
On a sidenote, the guy that they caught I actually ran into about 6 years ago(some 13 years after the theft). He was an umpire at a softball tournament I was in. I kinda wanted to kick his ass, but he's not a very big guy and there would be very little sport in it (not to mention I'm a very passive person). I had little choice but to chit chat with him at home plate while I was up to bat and it turned out that his life had taken some pretty hard turns. I actually ended up feeling bad for the guy.
At least no one was hurt!
