I need a 12 gauge pump action shotgun and an alarm. My charger got broken into for the second time in 4 months. Since I changed out my door handle, removing the driver door lock, this time they punched the trunk lock.

They took my car tool box and a flashlight and not sure what else, as I have a lot of junks in my trunk.

I disconected the trunk lock tonight, but now I cannot open my car if my battery dies. A while back, I did purchase a 12' choke cable for the old cars with manual chokes, that I planned to hook up to the trunk release so I can access the trunk in case my keyless entry failed. I guess now I have to hook it up, before something happens and I have to do something drastic to gain entry.

Not sure if I am going to remove the trunk lock totally and plug the hole with a large lag bolt or something similar or look at putting in a better lock, something like a star lock. Going to check out some lock places this weekend to see what options I have.

I am also thinking about re-wiring the trunk button in the car to a wire that is hot only when the key is in the ignition, this way, incase if someone breaks in the front, they cannot just push the button to open the trunk. I know they can access the trunk through the back seat, but the harder you make it, the more chance you have of the person not wanting to do it or them getting caught.

If we had laws like in Texas, I would stakeout my own car and shoot the criminals as they try to break in. :armed: Too bad too many liberals in Hawaii, protecting the criminals at the expense of the law abiding citizens.

Both times not at home. First time at a restaurant parking lot and the second time on the street by my in-laws.
Man, that totally sux. I'm really sorry to hear about that. Unfortunately, the rate of recovery for car break-ins is almost non-existant. I hate those bastards just as much as you do because they generate a LOT of paper work for us.

I'm not sure about the idea of removing the trunk keyhole access. Next time they may just dig a huge hole where the key access use to be in order to gain access to the lock mechanism. If they want in... they'll get in.
sorry to hear the bad news, i think it is going to get a lot worse so maybe you need to set out and watch for these idiots. that makes me sick. i hope everything works out for you
ever think of looking behind you when you drive?


maybe some one is following you to see where you live , park , your schedual... think about it.. do you attract alot of attention when you drive.. loud exhaust... smoke tires out, fish tail around corners,,,, damn now that i mention it i fish around corners myself.. got to stop that myself...
keep an eye out behind you .. one in the rear view mirror and one on the road.
Damn this sucks buddy, Did this happen in our neck of the woods. Maybe I should be counting my lucky stars.

So a shotgun would have been of no help. So forget that. The will just steel your gun from the car, kill someone and your going to get in big trouble. Gun solve NOTHING.

No it's a bummer they keep hitting your car, shame but a car is far less important than your life by a long shot!

Hang in there, hopefully the cops will catch them.

Gun solve nothing huh? Your statement above sums it all up. You sit and wait for cops to catch them. This mentalty is disgusting and makes me sick to my stomach. I bet youd give the godamn thief a back rub wouldnt you?:rolleyes2::rolleyes2::rolleyes2::rolleyes2::rolleyes2:

Like Five Oh said not likely anyone gets caught.

The way I think about it is that a dead thief cannot steal anymore.:reddevil:

Amen Brother!!!
I have a pistol grip Benelli M3 Autoloader w/ all sorts of accessories that I'd consider parting ways with.
Man, that really sucks dude--I was already paranoid about my car and now I'm more paranoid.

Maybe you just need to carry Five Oh around in your trunk :D
Im sorry to hear about that, this kind of BS is why I keep a Desert Eagle and a 1911 at the house!!!

LOL im going to patent little five oh action figures or bobble heads to put on our dashboards for protection!!

Five Oh when are you available to get cloned??

Actually, you discust me. You would kill someone for stealing? Your 100% sure about that? 100% sure you just shot the right person? 100% sure you will not go to jail? 100% sure he did not have friends that are going to come around after you shot him and take you out?

Its a car, your willing to risk your life over it? get real, if push came to shove you would not shoot, if you did, you would probaly ruin your life in so many ways.
I laugh my azz off every time one of you narrow minded people churp up about guns. Your short sightedness is beyond all reason. Why the rest of the world views the US and nuts is based on your total lack of the ability to think 5 min down the road from your actions.

I'll visit you in jail every month, or your gravesite!.
