[djomlas]

yea 1st nite out, well it was parked outside the whole day, and then troughout the night...i really wonder if the lights made it out in one piece

[Bavarian Motorist]

So he left it out and the next day all these things were missing? That sucks really bad

this is why I say never leave your car parked with the top down. If the shady dudes can be this stealthy with the windows up just imagine how easy it is with an open cockpit.
I think there is a way of disabling the alarm with a computer device and opening the hood without having to get into the cockpit. Once the alarm is neutralized opening the doors isn't super complicated.
I can remove those headlight in under five minutes (both sides). I'm sure a guy who has hit up many Pcars for their headlights can do it even faster. There was a rash of headlight thefts in southern california and it inspired some not-so-profesional theives to give it a shot. They ended up causing thousands of dollars of damage to the wiring by improperly disconnecting the harnessess.

sorry to hear about that.....

If I caught somebody doing ANYTHING to my baby....it wouldn't be pretty

but a 8 iron to the skull never is.....

Never underestimate humans, desperate enough and we as a race can do just about anything. Like escape from alcatraz, steal the headlights off of a car, or even try to break into a minimart by going through the roof. I bet theres someone who could steal the seats out of your car in daylight.

They just pry right out, the plastic clips snap off the bottom and they're gone. You need to watch out when shopping for lits that they are intact and the clip is in place, if it isn't it's almost a certainty that they are stolen.

I wondered about having the VIN etched in to them maybe or putting stickers on saying "security etched" or "security tagged" or something.

I hate to hear stuff like this happening....good luck on the repair.
