Replaceable stuff. More of a "look how easy this was" post so folks can be mindful. I was just trying to locate my horn because I realized my horn was disconnected and figured they had cut the wires and I was going to have to splice something. No! They physically disconnected it. So I for starters would like to relocate the horn. I'm also going to look for some train horn or something that is extremely loud and tap into the factory wiring.
Absolutely
Where exactly did it happen? Going on your forum name, these crews work the 10 - 45 - 35 triangle when popping cars. they're transient taking advantage of travelers all across Texes and soft targets just off the major highways.I live south of 10 and seen this happen constantly over the years.
Good catch on the forum name, but my job keeps me all over Texas and this happened in San Antonio at the Homewood San Antonio Sea World location which is off the 410 loop just north of 151.
Know that area well, used to be a member out at Hyatt Hill Country Club. That is prime hit spot, lots of money moves in and out of that entire area and most are super soft targets of opportunity since they're tourists. And being a fellow texan, you're well aware of the triangle I'm talking about and how these crews move like gypsies grabbing anything they can without fear of getting caught. I've even seen them steal appliances from every vacant rental in a neighborhood in that area in one night...
The way it should be!
Yes I am and yes it was a soft target op. Shit happens. So now I'm just on a mission to make it more difficult as possible because I stay in hotels often. First time at that hotel and probably last. Unfortunately it's a part of life. But next time I will rather explain holes in my hotel window than missing my shit I need to work. It is what it is though.
Well glad keeps honest good honest. And at the end of the day I can only draw the unwanted attention or make it take longer. I'm not an engineer, so I can't fab the door locks, so let me in my abilities bring more attention. By all means take the idea. If I'm mindful, maybe I'll make it a how-to thread.
Yea I was an unfortunate part of a 8 car/truck hit about 15 years ago. Lost a lot that day, never again. As you said, it is what it is. Stuff is replaceable, but pride was scared forever.
That area blows. I remember staying right in that same area and the week before someone stole all the Catalytic converters from the cars parked in the lot. Hotel wasn't even surprised.
