i dont have a modified car, but i do have a lifted truck and i thought it was safe up here, considering crime rate in va beach is almost as high as it is in nova.... i took my truck to midas to get work done on it at the beginning of the Fall of 03' semester, and when i went to pick it up the guys asked about all my stereo stuff... i thought nothing of it besides a couple of townies who hadnt seen a nice truck in a while.
got home from my girls place at 4am that night, then got up to go to my 8am and walked outside to a "would have been" totaled truck. i had over $5,000 worth of stereo shit and other gadgets inside the truck stolen. they happened to know every bolt size and where every screw was as it was taking apart, not ripped out. none of my bolts or screws were stock because i had a lot of fabricated pieces... damages ended up totallin in the neighborhood of $8,500 and having 39 tickets we did not report it to insurance, because it was high enough.
the police wouldnt do anything, not even call a detective to the scene so my dad highered a private investigator and it turned out two kids that worked at midas were on probation for grand theft and had no alleby (sp?) for the night my truck was hit... u can assume all u want but there was nothing further we could do because its not about what u know, its about what u can prove.
~sorry to hear about all other instances, i feel ur pain
