Default 350z non noticable trunk button saves the day!!!

Well last night I was pretty positive I turned on the alarm to my car, but apparently I was wrong! I just got my system hooked back up (running 2 10" w3v3's) and I guess somebody in my neighborhood noticed as I usually have my system bumping when I'm driving home. Today, I walk out to my car to see all my paperwork and receipts trashed all over my car (looking from the outside of the driver's side window) and the first thing I knew was that my system is probably gone. I immediately popped my trunk and saw my system still sitting there and I was probably the happiest person in the world. I'm guessing the thief wanted to steal my system but couldn't get the trunk to open, so there was no other way to get it out. I was also surprised he didn't bother taking my amp being that it was screwed onto my sub box (guessing he didnt have a phillips screwdriver on him to take the wood screws out). But anyways, the only thing I noticed that was missing was about 10 bucks I usually leave in the car for tolls and that was it. I was really shocked and happy at the same time. All I have to say is...thank you Nissan for not having a noticable trunk button because it sure as hell saved my system!

What about personal info? You mentioned receipts etc... Information and identity theft are exploding right now.

That's why I turned the amp down when I'm about a mile from home. Yes, I do have the tweeds blowing, but nobody would really want to steal tweeds.

Tweeds are worn, not listened to. Tweets are.

I usually just keep a bag of crack in my car, that way if anyone breaks in they'll find the crack and forget about my stereo

I would guess that if the car was unlocked, they opened the door. Just a guess.
