The Sound of Silence
 

I went to get the boat out of storage Monday... took the cover off and much to my disgust...

all of my stereo gear gone!

head unit
component speakers
2 amps
6 x 9's
2 subs w/custom boxes
lots of cut wires

my buddy's boat had all his stereo equip stolen too...

havent talked to insurance yet, but the deductable is $500... and i have no idea how they value couple year old stereo stuff... over $3000 invested... we'll see i guess

not cool

Thieving Bastards! :mad:

Man I hate to hear this stuff. Makes me 1/2 scared because I leave my boat on a lift all summer. 3 yrs so far no problem. Good Luck

Let's hope they buy drugs with the money they get from the stereo equipment, then overdose and adios!!!!!

That's why I never buy things off of these traveling salesmen. I was in a parking lot a few weeks ago and some guy in a van pulls up trying to sell me stuff. I said NO. I pulled around got his tag # and gave it to the first cop I ran into. :mad:

thats why I built a big storage building outback and stuck my Smith & Wesson sign on it. All the toys are pretty safe in there. double dead bolts
and a steel door. have not done it yet but I will put some more motion detectors on the rear and sides of the building.

you hit the nail right on the head...

the deputy said that the area has a lot of meth heads and that the storage facilty's owner's son and grandson are into drugs and have had problems with the law... apparently it was an inside job.

Too bad dead bolts don't really do anything. Two swift kicks and that door will be ripped right out of the frame.

Motion detectors, firearms, and dogs are where it's at.

no its a steel door with a steel frame fastened to double 2 x 6's on each side. I actually tested it for the kicked in method. It was a used older factory door I got for free. I have it swinging OUT. No windows in the building at all. I bet with a cordless sawsall and 5 minutes you could cut thru the wall in the back.
Im sure a good running start with a 6x6 post might take the door down.

if you really want to keep them out solid concrete block, super duty doors and avoid windows. Couple nasty dogs would help too or alarm
