Khol's had no video cameras in the parking lot.

I'm going to retract the screen from now on.

I'll definitely look into this!

+1 on non dvd..and you have it in both cars?...i guess 3rd times the charm? Or will you fix it and have this happen again?

Good luck

I think that'd be the best solution.

i feel for you man. my car got broken into recently also, they just stoled the Sirus radio (got it replaced for free

I also got a hit N run 3 weeks ago ;( 3,000 in damages.

Break ins happen all the time, cops dont do ****, neighbors ignore alarms.
this is why if I EVER, EVEr catch someone braking in my car or anyone elses, I will take matters in my own hands and NO joking, brake bones with a baseball bat. No joke im so fed up with theifes, i hope I get a chance to catch one.

Whoa! You left it there with the screen out? I'm sorry to say, but it sounds like you were asking for it.

This is the exact reason why i'm leaving the stock stereo in there. If their going to break into my car, they're going to do it to steal the car (which is much less likely then breaking in for a stereo). plus i have a system in my other car for when i need it.

Sorry to hear about that man! And they didn't even get the stereo.... what a waste. Good luck in the future! BTW, Nice MR2! I def. wouldn't leave that just anywhere.

Yeah if your going to have that stuff visible your just asking to get broke into. Def get a alarm...maybe tint the windows so they can't see?

Good luck with everything.

PS. I can't believe they don't have cameras in their parking lot?! Don't think I've ever seen a retail store that big around here without tons of cameras.
