Walked outside today and have a huge dent, scratches, and my door handle is bent back. Somebody took a screw driver or something and bent back the door handle and tried to break into my Tahoe. Really pissed me off! Wonder how much it will cost to fix. Guess I'm lucky they didn't get in it cause I have 3 12" subs. I hate living In the hood and my car is to big to fit in garage.

Sorry about that man. The idiot must be a noob to the car break in game though or he may have got away with your system. Get a loud ass alarm!

The alarm never went off. Wonder if u can even see my system cause it's got tinted windows and it was dark out. My system was all I had in there though. Maybe I should invest in 5% tint all around

Tint may not matter if the person heard you had a loud system at the stop light. I bet that's what the perp(s) were after because people don't just go around breaking into cars and hoping something worth selling is inside! They have to be confident something worth it is inside either by seeing it, or hearing it.
Sometimes they may just break in if the car is customized from the outside though.

That blows, I hate having to leave mine outside in the area we are in with all the prizes punk kids running around. Luckily having a light bar on top of the truck has seemed to do a good job of putting a little safe bubble around the house.

With 3 12's...I sure you do alot of 'free advertising'......doesn't mean you should get your vehicle broken into though.....but just sayin...darker tint won't make your music any quieter ;)

Hope you get it fixed quickly....

WTF is wrong w/people??? Seems like you can't have anything nice these days without some ******* trying to jack it from ya'.
I swear, it would be real justice to have some kind of electric shock system that gets activated when the alarm is that would incapacitate someone long enough for you to find them laying there....then it's game on!!!!

You have a thief in the neighborhood or on your street.
I had 3-5 (dunno exact number of them as there was always more than a handfull standing around) hood rats move into a house down the street from me about 3 years ago. they always sitting in front yard smoking drugs while running their loud systems. We had 7 houses and cars broke into in the first 6 months after they moved in.
So everyday I drove by and saw them doing their thing, I called the police and said someone was flashing a gun to drivers as they went buy or trying to sell drugs to drivers, etc. Must have done this 10 or more times.
These assholes moved out shortly after.

Setup some Cameras and a DVR box to record it.

As well as install some motions lights with Duel 100watt halogens on your garage door eve. one set on either side of driveway.
Adjust them so they don't come on until someone is at the back of your vehicals. Be sure to point them Directly at the vehicals.
Then black out the front of your house except for a low wattage front door light.

If they come up to the vehicals at night when their eyes are adjusted to the night and those lights blast them, they will be temp blinded and get cought on cam.
Then print out his face and post it on all the stop signs, the guy will stop.

Sounds like its time to move to a better location if everyone is getting broke into around your place.

Just wondering, did you have an alarm and did the car have wheel locks?
