some insurance companys will never cover anything stolen from a vehicle with a soft top.( its in the fine print just gota read it) when my grand pa had the tracker it had a soft top..they stole the radio and CB all screwed down..so usually they would cover it..but because its a hard top they told him there was nothing they would do

they did however replace the top

I got hit last year. Funny thing was my nice sterio went out 2 days earlier and I swapped a Wal-Mart cheappy in. They got the faceplate and couldnt figure out how to get the radio out. They stole 6 CDs that were scratched that I swore I would throw them out the next time I saw a Garbage can, but then I couldnt get myself to do it. So they got nothing but a faceplate that doesnt fit anything and some scratched cds.

Heres the funny part. In the back seat were a pair of Sony 6 inchers still in the Box! Or how about the WALLET in the door pocket! Just goes to show ya how dumb theives are.

Most of the time, the theives either know you, know of you, or nowadays, heard you. Those impressive sound systems that the youngsters play so 'deep' in the cars, those cars are usually marked, especially a conv't.


100% true.

I just bought a camera to watch the driveway. What kind of recorder do you use with yours?

As for alarms, I haven't had much luck with them. It won't save the top, but might stop a 2nd intrusion.

So true. Farmers woldn't cover anything non-factory. (As in any speakers not in the 4" dash grills.) CDs, tools, etc are "home owners" insurance.

Oh, and they have something called "betterment". That's when they take off an additional 1/3 replacement cost for a 2 year old top.

Maybe I need to borrow the neighbor's PitBull/Mastiff, eh? I saw one of them pick up a basketball and pop it.

last year i got hit, but in my 5 door tracker, they smashed a window, stole a $600 Stereo, found the faceplate which was hidden in the pannel near the earbox, stole a minidisk player (worth $250) which was in the glovebox, broke the dashboard, but then they left my bors wallet in the road near the car, and left my bros CD wallet which has about 200 CDs in it ???

We then tried to claim the things and damage on insurance, basicly to set things right it cost us about $850-$900 of stolen stuf, insurance would only give  us a miesely $250 >:( and this was with full cover plan..... dam buggers, so we forked out everything ourselfs, so that the primiums wouldn't be raised on us just for $250

you know the idea of adding a super high db siren to the interior with a bright strobe light, would add a little extra to my rig, i'll have to look into it. this would bug the sh*t out of someone trying to spend more than a few seconds in there.

the driveway  >:(
