My FC got broken into...Merry Christmas f#*ken thieves!!!!!!!
you pay higher rate to have a peace of mind but if they cant provide what you paid for, it is total bullshit since this is not the first time. talk to the off-site management since most on-site manager knows ****.
Make some windows out of Plexiglass.
Unfortunately I doubt Property Management will pay for it, never heard of that happening. Parking is always 'park at your own risk'. But I wish you the best of luck. Sweet FC.

Thx DF7!
damn man, sympathy is out to you. i owned a honda (dont worry its all in my past) xD and it got broken into 4 times.. i could hardly keep seats in it let alone a stereo.
hopefully they get caught.
hopefully they get caught.
wow dude, you'll see half that stuff on craigslist soon if they really were crack heads...
this is reason why invested in a storage for my pos fc, (dude you car looks great, why the hell would you leave it outside?!?!1)
I can be anywhere and have the peace of mind that my car is safe and insured by my storage if anything happens to it.
but yea hope you get your stuff back
(Same thing happened to a friend of mines,
they ripped out his SAFC and AVCR instead of clipping it but the car was in a garage too....
we got lucky and tracked down the dude who stole the stuff...no help from the police either)

Eddie, let me know if you need help getting it back to rights.
That might be the same in your case, and if so, you won't be able to get anything out of them

John, I've tried to be nice to you but you seem to have the ability to see things as you will and hold a grudge like nobody's business. Let it go already. Anyone who knows what's up can judge me for themselves. That said, you've got some serious issues you need to work out with yourself.
Eddie, let me know if you need help getting it back to rights.
Eddie, let me know if you need help getting it back to rights.
Difference of opinion I can deal with no problem.
But you blasted my character for advise I passed on to Eddie which I received from an actual insurance adjuster (calling my passed on advise "blatantly immoral") when I was in a similar situation. And only months prior you lied to your friends to get vote support for a go-d da-mn parking space!!
So nothing is lost in translation, I cut and paste quote from your post on the V8RX7CLUB forum:
"I talked my way into special vehicle consideration for Seven Stock 12. It's an all rotary event that goes down at Mazda corporate headquarters here in SoCal so them even letting me in the voting is a pretty cool."
When in fact the Seven Stock 12 organizers then publically advised the entire forum community you had no "special consideration" and ultimately blasted you for the manner in which you made the attempt. Cut and paste:
"Frijolee, we want to say that you posting a pic of your engine, and specs, AFTER THE FACT was a bit deceitful, and not so cool."
I say again, curious that you consider yourself worthy to even stand on that moral soap box. I suggest you first look in a mirror for someone with "some serious issues you need to work out with yourself".
My retort had nothing to do with not letting something go. It had everything to do with you when you of all people come off at me like that!!
Trust me, anyone paying attention has judged you for themselves.
Amazing.........

Sorry for my reaction to his bs. But preaching what you don't practice just isn't right, certainly in that profound way.
As my mother in law might appropriatley say, "El burro hablando de orejas".
Don't loose those left over cables. And remind me to show you how to install that alarm so you end up with the extra protection of a redundant set up. You'll need a door lock solenoid for your drivers door. Suggest getting a stock one out of a S5 passenger door.

K I'll save the harnesses and I'll hit the junk yard for that solenoid. When can we meet up or when will you roll through town?

I probably will be heading to Simi Valley to drop off some parts and get some work done on Saturday, so can hit you on the rebound if you're around.
For the redundant application, best you already have the alarm installed before we connect. Have the installer show you which is the door lock trigger wire and you have the wiring instructions handy otherwise.

From your description, when you get the door handles at the junk yard, get the entire wiring cable that runs from them. Should put you in a plug and play to get the door locks working. Suggest you take the lock cylinders out and to a lock smith to get keyed to your ignition key. Not that expensive to get done, and worth every penny.
Those need to be in place before I can do the rest.

i hate to be a dick. But i cant even count how many threads ive seen of Eddie posting how his car got broken into. i feel bad for you, but you need to get a real alarm. Park on the street, a well lit area. Hide a lion in your hatch.
PROTECT YOUR **** BETTER!!
you obviously live in the mother ******* ghetto. Maybe owning a car like your FC doesnt make sense right now.
put a siren inside your car, 140dB alarm should keep them from getting your ****.

The alarm I got helps me sleep at night. The management office has taken a few extra measures to prevent this from happening and the building stays lit through the night now. I'll be out in 2 months anyway, just hoping nothing happens til then which I doubt cause the FC stays at work most of the week now
John, attempting fraud at an adjuster's suggestion is still fraud. I'd call anyone out on that score regardless of who said it. I called out Eddie for considering it and he and I are pretty good friends. At the end of the day it's bad form to respond to theft by lying and stealing yourself. Why's that so hard to understand?
For the record: I didn't reveal all facts about my car in the SS voting up front because I thought listing my car as having "extensive driveline mods" was funny and I knew it would come out almost immediately (which of course it did). I never lied. I've already apologized to the organizers that my joke went further than intended and for the misunderstanding of being let into the contest when I assumed they knew (which Berny gracefully accepted... John, clearly not so much). SS is supposed to be about fun and comaradarie... Did you even notice that I was the only one of the "competitors" who didn't vote for my own car? Yeah, I voted for Eddie's.
John, you may or may not be a relatively moral person on the whole, but your suggested course of action in this instance is stealing. Care to lay odds that if I called your insurance company they'd agree with me? The insurance rep who made that suggestion to you originally deserves to be fired but that doesn't make lying about the means in which your loss occurred in order to facilitating the theft any less wrong. To make matters worse after you're finished making false statements, you then commit perjury by signing your name on the claim form that everything you stated is true and correct.
You jump all over my morals for a joke, but even if everything you claim about me was true it doesn't make my point any less valid. Hell, if serial murderer pointed out that your suggested course of action was immoral I'd agree with him. I understand that your pride took a big hit when my car won at Mazfest, but your insistence on attacking me to revisit a misunderstanding rather than address the point of the argument is weak.
I also might mention that I presently don't know of anyone besides yourself who has beef with me. If and when I discover they do, I'll be glad to apologize to them for anything I can own up to, just like I apologized to you at SNS. You clearly have no intention/ability to forgive me, but what the heck... I did what I could.

Joel, you are great with words, but not so great with actions. And as the saying goes, actions speak much louder than words. I'm concerned your actions displayed so publically were just the tip of an iceberg.
Greenman, nothing was said about Joel’s win at Mazfest. Those organizers actually DID give him special dispensation unlike what he told everyone on the V8 forum regarding 7Stock. I guess he thought misleading his friends was "funny". That cut and paste were his exact words and certainly not taken out of context. Oh wait, that was a misunderstanding.
In actual fact, at Mazfest I even mentioned to Joel I thought he did a really good job on his build. What I thought was funny was that the award was for Best Classic RX7. The Mazfest organizers obviously had a different definition of the word Classis in mind than what you might find in Webster’s Dictionary.
And to be clear, contrary to Joel’s insinuation (again with the words), I wasn't even entered in the Mazfest award competition. You had to be registered and given a number to participate. I got there at the tail end of it all as a number of forum members know.

One more point for you Joel as so far you still don't seem to get it.
If you want to voice a contrary opinion, do it in a respectful way and you can reasonably expect to be responded to respectfully. If you do it by smashing some one in the face like you did, you had better be prepared to get smashed in the face right back because you simply earned it. I don't disagree with the notion behind your response, but I certainly take issue with how you did it.

John, let it go man. I didn't get anything special from the Mazfest folks, dispensation or otherwise. It was an open entry, I entered, and was judged. I won, end of story. Since then you've said NOTHING about Mazfest except how I didn't deserve to win, how my car is neither a classic nor even an rx7 anymore, and how DivinDriver should have won instead of me. Finally you said that that it "chaffed you" that the award went to a piston car. (Hence why it seems to me that your pride for all things rotary took the hit). The fact that you complimented the quality of my build in person doesn't negate those other things.
Sevenstock put out a call for vehicles to have "special consideration" parking spots so I entered, and yes, knowing it was a primarily a rotary show I entertained myself by being coy about my use of pistons. Naturally all my friends knew what was up and given the commentary in the thread I assumed the judges knew too. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to discover they let me in. I said exactly this when I asked for my v8 friends to vote for me.
http://www.v8rx7forum.com/showthread...e-for-Frijolee
How this constitutes lying to and manipulating my friends is beyond me. When it came out that the organizers hadn't known and were upset about how things had gone down, I first apologized, then asked them to reconsider, and then stepped aside as gracefully as I could. I can post that part too if you insist. In all cases, my actions were exactly aligned with my words, so you can stop worrying about the rest of my iceberg.
As to stating things too harshly: sure I've been known to do that. But come on, what you proposed is pretty messed up if you think it through... Now you could have said something like "in Eddie's case the ends justify the means" at which point we're at an impass and simply agree to disagree. Rather than talking about why you think ripping off insurance companies is in fact OK, you instead attack me and claim I have no moral right to make any such statement and attempt to dredge up crap about a misunderstanding that I apologized for months and months ago (and for which no one seems to have issues except you!)
I'm through here and Eddie, I'm sorry we cluttered up your thread. I do hope your car is back to rights soon and will gladly help however I can (as likely will John as he's able).

You really should be into politics what with all that double speak.
Wait, maybe not. Thank you for posting that link as that was like Clinton giving pictures to the press of Monica swallowing his Johnson while at the same time insisting he didn't have sex with her. No longer any doubt about the context or authenticity of my cut and paste now, is there. Certainly supports your "credibility".
At the least, you finally (albeit indirectly) answered my question about standing on that soap box.
