I had someone steal the CD player out of my Jeep once...the dumb people cut the wires so funky though that anyone who TRIED to use it would get a nice suprise because it would never work lol! Thats Karma for you I guess...they caught the guys trying to sell it at a pawn shop.

Yes, steal a stereo in such a way so that it will never work again, try it in your car, find out it doesn't work then try pawning it...

Lucky for us, the pawn shops here have a stolen serial number database sent to them by the police. If you get something stolen, you can regster the serial numbers off of the product and if a Pawn shop gets someone trying to sell it, they will A get your item back *if it works, if its broken you're SOL* and B charge the moron selling it for the theft. The thrift stores have the database too. Does your area do that? I hope so, hopefully they can catch the people that did this. And even if the police wont get them I have a feeling something else will
