Saturday from 3-5 am I was drinking with my boy when I come out and realized my window was smashed... its been going on for awhile here, so anyways I went to the dealer and got it down for $430.00 :thumbsdow. This guy is always doing it around that time, but shouldnt my alarm have went off when he hit it?

If you have full coverage your insurance will probably cover it with no deductible and no hit to your premiums. If you have to pay for it yourself you may want to check out Safelite Auto Glass. I have used them for many vehicles in the past and it's nice that they come to you. They have 3 different windshields to choose from, ranging from $264.95 - $285.95. According to the website that includes the glass and installation. Only other additional cost is tax plus it says you may have to pay a $28.95 molding and installation fee, but I have never had to.

The alarm is for opening doors and turning the car's ignition, not for windows being broken (audible by a microphone).

Sorry to hear about your luck. You can get aftermarket alarms that will page you when something like that happens. My co-workers remote goes off all the time on windy days when his truck gets hit with a little debris.

Although, even with an alarm you'd probably still have a broken windshield.

I say we organized a posse...
Sorry about that. Hopefully karma will get back to those that did this soon

Jelous POS! I say set up a video camera every night until you catch him. Then do what Paul Kersey would do.

funny you said that nycoupe, i was parked at montauk one night sleeping in my car and my windows are really dark so two morons must of thought no one was in the car, so they came up and tried to break, i had a small beater bat in the back under the seat. so i grabbed the bitch and jumped out the car and was like wtf! so ofcourse they say oh sorry we didnt know, i mean really what the hell you mean you didnt know, they were trying to break in and got caught red handed, they took off running, but i got one of them and did alot of damage, it was alot of fun cause it was pitch black and no one was around, so one good crack to the back of the head take em down and than the timberlands did the rib work.. i got that bastard good... i hate them clowns out there that do that crap.

djtokki: hopefully you catch those pricks and crack there heads in and teach em a lesson, maybe if they wake up in the intensive care unit in a few months, it will teach them a lesson.

Just hope they don't remember you or your car. They may get revenge on you as well. I hate those type of assholes! Theft should be delt with in the manner of finger removal by a pair of pliers and a blow torch.

Sad thing is the Law is on their side if you did cause bodily harm because you tried to protect your property.

nobody touches my baby..instead of sons of anarchy tv show they should have sons of accord owners cuz im pretty sure we all will go to war for our cars haha

In oklahoma if someone tries breaking into/stealing your car while you are in it you are within your full legal rights to shoot them. Gotta love the laws in my state. We don't put up with that shit around here. I don't carry bats/knives, I carry a .45 S&W, and a .380 Ruger LCP.

I know I would. You gotta defend and protect your family.

ohhhh shit i would feel bad for anyone who tries to run up on you!!!:wavebye:

If this is going on a lot around you I would definitely invest in an aftermarket alarm. Mine is pretty sensitive, it went off the other day from the vibrations from the garbage truck. Haha. I have the Clifford Matrix. When someone thinks they are slick it beeps at me and lets me know right away. It's essentially my best friend.

Sorry to hear.......The same thing happened to me a month ago. Someone smashed my passenger side rear glass out and entered my car and the factory alarm did not budge. I am thinking that they climbed through the Window. The car was ram sacked and I lost my GPS, PSP, Radar Detector and IPOD and some of my baby sons clothing. The disturbing thing is it happened on a busy street on a Saturday night. Must have been a crack head though because they left my credit card and who would steal a bag of baby clothes?lol

Same here in NM and in my home state of TX. I plan to use my 9mm or 12 gauge on anybody who I catch trying this stuff to my property.

i think most states let you defend yourself if someone is trying to unlawfully deprive you of your personal property. one of the basic rights in the constitution. just don't shoot them as they're running away.

me and a couple of friends are gonna wait for him friday night, I already saw his face caught on cam. He goes around stealing sh** from people and hes getting away with it. To bad he doesnt know we're on to him. Hes gonna have bad karma coming to him real soon =D

The funny thing is he didnt steal anything from both mine and my boys car.. this idiot does it by himself and takes his time. He hit up another car today from what i heard from my boy. He hits at mid night camped out yesterday inside this cafe with the cam aimin at the cars. He didnt show up so hopefully friday the night.
the thing is we're plannin on breaking his fingers then call the cops. Would we have a charge for his? as in assault?

I wouldn't break his fingers. Loop two zip ties together and use those to restrain his hands and/or feet until the police arrive. Say you just "happened" to have bought some earlier that day and they were still in your trunk.

You don't want to get into trouble yourself.

You can attempt to make a citizens arrest, and if he attempts to attack you then you have every right to defend yourself...just food for thought.

Idk about only the doors opening... i was playing basketball the other day and the ball landed on my car and started alarming. i think as long as the car shakes hard enough it will trigger the alarm... or i could be wrong! :dunno:

Personally, a pager alarm is a false sense of security. If it's a real thief do you want to walk outside with a bat and possibly encounter 1 or more people with anything from prybars to guns? It's not worth it, it's only a car. If it was legal to shoot someone for trying to break into my car, I'd be the first one in line for a pager alarm. Risking coming up against someone with a gun when I'm not allowed to shoot first, no thanks.

Make your alarm as big a deterrent as possible like 2 battery backup sirens on the outside, a few pain inducer sirens on the inside, some strobes(real strobes like from http://www.strobesnmore.com/ not the riceboy toy flashers), cut some tones out of your exterior sirens so that they don't sound like every other car around. The best part of security is to leave NOTHING in plain view. I put a false panel over my avic and a quick glance in the car looks like it's a boring stock accord. I won't even leave sunglasses in plain view, that's what the novel little holder is for.

If a real thief wants to take something in your car, or your car itself, there is NOTHING you can do about it aside from something like lojack and praying they don't crash it or part it out before the police find it.

Yes you would, and he could sue you as well. He could break into your car, strip it clean, and take a crap on the hood, if you lay a single finger on him you can be charged. If you attempt to unlawfully detain him, and he gets a good lawyer you're looking at a felony. Beating the crap out of him might get you off better than breaking his fingers. Intentionally breaking someone's fingers can be construed as torture. If you're found guilty of torture, please bring plenty of soap on a rope, you'll be away for quite a while.

That's the fun of our BS laws these days. Criminals run rampant, while the rest of us can do nothing without risking getting in trouble ourselves. I always like to look at texas, where brandishing isn't a crime, it's a way of life. Do you think there are many armed robberies or even car thefts there? Hell no, because you never know when someone is going to unload in your ass. If we're going to let the criminals have guns, let the rest of us carry them to keep the criminals in check. What fun is it to be a thug when you don't know if the nerdy little guy on the corner is going to pull out a 2.5" .357 Python and take a bite out of crime.

dude if you are going to wait at night for him than you and your buddy get ski masks and good aluminum bats... come up behind him barefoot, so your shoes dont make noise and BUST HIS LEGS UP BAD! crack his knees really good, so he is in a wheel chair for a few months.. than stick your fingers up his nose and drag him by his nose to the curb where he belongs.... dont call the police at all... let him cry....

It is lawful to make a citizen's arrest and lawfully detain someone whom is commiting a crime. If during such an event, you are threatened or attacked, you are within every right to defend yourself.

Breaking someone's fingers without cause is a big no-no, and he is right, you'll be behind bars for a while. Know your local state and federal laws well, you never know when that information could come in handy.

This what i should do. GET A BETTER ALARM SYSTEM!!!!

It is lawful to make a citizen's arrest and lawfully detain someone whom is commiting a crime. If during such an event, you are threatened or attacked, you are within every right to defend yourself.

I was talking more to the point if they broke his fingers then held him captive, they would be up the creek without a paddle. Citizen's arrest is one thing, if you can detain them without harming them you're ok, but hurt them then decide to detain them and you're in a world of poop.

I had a friend while I was in the in the Navy who got in a rather mean fight and then decided since the other guy had started it he would do a citizen's arrest. 2 problems with that, Fighting is only a misdemeanor, and deciding to make the arrest after he beat the living crap out of him. The other guy's lawyer had a field day with my friend. Absolutely clean record, never arrested before, even had the glorious triple golden stripes on his sleeve showing 12 years of spotless military service; he ended up with a week in jail and 3 years probation for some BS unlawful detainment charge. Of course since my friend was in the military he got double trouble, thankfully the base CO was a bit more kind and just gave him restriction and 2 months no pay, but he also lost his golden stripes.

Also in my area the law is 'Any Person' may make a citizen's arrest ONLY when a felony is committed or there is reasonable ground to believe that a felony has been committed. Breaking a car window is misdemeanor vadalism at best. If you unlawfully detain someone they will get a ticket and you will go to jail.

As I said, the laws SUCK, they protect the criminals not the citizens.

Edit* I just looked up the NY law real quick, which he lives in, and it's "New York State Consolidated Laws hold that:
Any person may arrest another person (a) for a felony when the latter has in fact committed such felony, and (b) for any offense when the latter has in fact committed such offense in his presence. (N.Y.C.L. 140.30)" It's even more stringent than California stating that the detainee must commit the felony in the presence of the arresting person.


Another excerpt:
Making a citizen's arrest maliciously or with insufficient evidence of wrongdoing by the arrested individual can lead to civil or criminal penalties. Additionally, it is in violation of a suspects rights for a citizen making an arrest to use unnecessary force, to intentionally harm the suspect, to hold the suspect in unsafe conditions, or to delay in turning the suspect over to authorities. A citizen making an arrest is acting in the place of an officer of the law, and as such, is required to uphold the same rights and civil liberties as an officer of the law must uphold.

A citizen who violates a suspects rights, or who violates the applicable state law in detaining the suspect, (for example, arresting a suspect for a misdemeanor when the state statute requires a felony for a citizens arrest), risks being sued or even charged with a crime. Additionally, if it is found that the arresting party did not meet the pertinent state requirements for a citizens arrest, any contraband found on the suspect will have been found illegally, and charges may be dropped entirely.

Damn this guy is good, he changes up his time.... well I read what you guys wrote maybe i was just talking out of my a** finger is just to much. =D Got pepper spray that i found at my house maybe that will do. To keep you guys updated he hit 12 other cars this week. we reported this to the cops and they aint doing nothing about it... cant wait till i find him arggh

Better yet....Lay under the car...snatch his legs and drag him to a curb and go all AMERICAN HISTORY X on him.

:thumbsup:

Personally I wish we could pummel the fockers to death, there would be far less crime if us citizens were allowed to help out, but sadly that's not the case. I'd just hate to see you get screwed for trying to make the world a better place.
