okay..

saturday night at work ( i work at the mall ), some faggots broke into my car and stole my system. ( subs, amps, deck ).

the thing is...

i drive a automatic 240, and for you to be able to take the deck out u need to get the shifter all the way to 1st gear ( to create room to slip it out).

as we all know thats impossible unless you have the car on, and press on the breaks..

well...

they decided to force it back and **** everything up..

my car now does not go into park, the shifter moves when its not supposed to.. and my key obviously wont come out of the ignition since it doesnt go into park.

any idead of what i should expect to hear from the mechanic?

thanks

kevin

Hi,Man this sux, cuz I am gettin an Alpine deck soonand I know it's gonna make my car somewhat of a target.

I know I can take the face plate out and hide it but whatother options do I have besides getting an alarm orsomething? And we know everyone puts theirfaceplate in their glove-box.

BTW, Sorry about your loss dude...

Bye!

all my friends put it under the seat :) or take it into work with them. they have hard cases you can put them in so they dont get damaged. also you could hook up a stun gun (the kind that shoot) to like a 20 sec delay to your car alarm :) thatd be cool. . . the have flame throwers in isreal. or tint the windows. or like i did in my altima, since you have a double din- leave the stock radio in the top and the alpine in the bottom, then take the face off the alpine. cool huh?good luck

That's harsh man . . but round where I live is much worse . . . Queens, New York . . , **** . . over here . .they'll steal your wife and kids and you can't do much about it . .I'de say .. just get one with a removable face at least, get tinted windows so they can't see the goods inside, and get a viper alarm, if all that doesn't work .. . just keep a bat with you at all times so that when you finally catch the faggots you'll get em for good ;-)

I know exactly what's wrong with your shifter. The pin that holds the shift linkage to your shifter broke or got lose. Take your console out, take your shift console out and you should be able to see the shift linkage is not connected to your shifter. Use a meter wire or clip or whatever to hold it back until you get yourself a SR swap or Manual swap.

Your gear is probably stuck at 2nd gear. Happened to me once and I had to shift manually, i mean, manually as in sticking your hand down to the hole that is ontop of the driveshaft and pull the shift linkage to put it on Drive....I fixed it though, takes like 10 mins to fix. Let me know if that helps.

To all that are worried about there stuff getting stolen, if you dont put stickers on your car or have wires hangin out then most people wont know you have anything. Decks, if you just take the face plate off. The main thing is dont put like alpine stickers or stickers telling what you have. Tint might actually bring people to your car, if you can afford tint and care that much you usually have a system.

ya, oh i saw an electrified club. like a steering wheel lock with a wireless remote. when its armed and someone touches it- it gives em like 200,000 volts. even if they are stealing the system they are pretty likely to touch the steering wheel.

bah. you think they would tho? honestly if its brought before a jury theres not many people who would let that by. and electrified dtun guns are not weapons, as classified by the US gov. the interrupt 't-waves' or brain waves and knock you out for a couple hours. no harm done. and if they did you could use a case about a woman using a stun gun as self defense as a precident.

anybody remember in the early 90s when you could buy a deck that came with a handle, and all you had to do was pop out the handle and take the entire deck with you? my mom had two of those in her olds cutlass cruiser (station wagon :cool: )

lol, they were cool

hey, maybe tell your ins that your transmission is fawked up (I mean, it IS fawked up...right, RIGHT?) and you would have money leftover for auto/manual swap...it's time for them to pay you back the money you are saving up per month for them right?
