no, sls isnt responsible for anything that happens to your car in their lot. but the way i see it, if a business wants to build a good reputation, they should at least have cameras on the lot where their customers cars are kept - especially if theyve had a serious problem with theft.

It's pretty hard to fit cars into a shop that is already full of cars. I don't know how that is supposed to work. Plus, do any of you know how annoying it is to have to push dead/broken cars in and out EVERY day and night? Do it for a while and tell me how you like it. It's not the responsibility of the shop to pay for damages to your car if someone breaks into it in the parking lot. If you took your car to Wal Mart and let's say that your battery died, and you had to leave it there for 2-3 days, and someone broke into your car and sole your shit and broke your dash, do you think Wal Mart is going to pay to fix it? Nope. Not their problem. Same concept here. Sorry not every business in the world has video cameras to catch thieves.

You guys keep saying that it isn't the shops responsibility, and talking to a few shops in town I guess you guys are right. Some shops have policies on this and some don't. the policies are for cars that are in thier possession. So the wal-mart analogy is really a moot point here, since walmart would more then likley have a car towed that sat there for a few days. Whereas at a shop, that has the keys for a vehicle has some responsibility to the vehicle and yes I think most shops would do this for a good rep and return customers. I know I won't go back to straight line for anything. They may be good mechanics but they have not impressed me. I believe this is the type of thing that most shops don't want on thier record. I've also talked to a few more legally knowledged people and they concurr with me that if something like this were taken to court the shop would lose. though thats not going to happen here, cause like joel said "good thing I have another one".
-
Dude, "You would lose in court". There have been many break ins at numerous shops and dealerships. They are not responsible. Yes, some shops may try to help you out. But all in all, 99% of them do not. Your situation sucks and I dont wish that upon anyone. Do you have a detachable face? Should you have taken it off? That could have deterred everything. All in all it sucks and the fag who keeps breaking into shit needs to be taking down.
-
no eclipse faces don't detatch, they have a security system in them that make the deck worthless if stolen. Also but I'm not for sure on this one, I think they are trackable... but yeah, people need to just not steal stereo's it's stupid and pisses people off. I know if I were to of caught the person doing it I would of done my best to send them to the hospital.

Walmart is open 24 hours a day except for sunday night, so they wouldnt really know if your car was there for a few days...I have a 98 gst out side SLD/SLS and I realize it could get broken in to any night, so guess what I did? I Fab'd up a stand that holds a gun and the gun will shoot if you break in to it!!!
I took 0ut my spendy Electronic Boost Controller, Took out the CD player, And if some one wants my stock shift knob go for it , gotta get past the bullets..

I don't know you but, basically your acting retarded here.
First off, Walmart was an analogy. You know what he's saying. Secondly, take it to court, you will not win. Next, you show up at 11pm, leave your broken probe to get looked at. You tell them to fix your timing, but its obvious you have more problems then that. You seem like the type of person who, would have them set the timing, and then blame them for "breaking" the stuff thats already broken.
It's all right though, I'm sure they don't mind having a person like you not come back.
My car sat at Straightline for months, out in the parking lot. However, I did remove my face plate, and my AFC... Common sense tells you should do that if you leave your car outside anywhere. Sorry that this isn't rural north dakota anymore... Fargo has a problem with car thefts. It sucks, the people are the scum of the earth. But badmouthing / blaming a shop where YOU parked your car, doesnt make sense.
Go park your car in a parklot down in the twin cities. Leave your cd player there. Leave it for a few days. Do you honestly not know HOW easy it is to open a door without breaking a window? Seconds if the thief has done it before. Cd players pop out in another few seconds. Look point being here, is that a store where you park your car, shouldn't be responsible for you parking your car and getting shit jacked. Hell for all they know, you could have come with an extra key and tried to blame them. Any store in the twin cities would just laugh at you.
Make a police report (they wont do anything), listen to what other people say, hopefully you can get it back.

Jim is absolutely right, every businesses down here will tell you to park at your own risk overnight, most won't even let you park overnight. That's why the Mall of America will tow your car if parked overnight, because they don't wanna pay personnel security extra hours to watch over your car. I once dropped off my car at BZ2 to get a tint job done. Their shop closes at 6pm on Sunday, so Tony from BZ2 asked me to come get my car before they closes. He also mentioned if I don't pick it up now, BZ2 will not be reliable for my car. Once your car is out in the parking lot, it is your responsibily to watch over your car.
-
I'm willing to be that someone knew what cd player you had in your car and knew that your car was there also. The reason I'm saying that is because there's a bunch of other cars that just sit outside around there and none of them have been broken into and had stuff stolen out of them. There's even been a few nights where our own cars have sat outside in the parking lot all night, windows down, keys in the ignition, and nothing ever happened to them. Coincidence? Make your own decision.

I am sure they would be smart enough to know the deck wouldnt be worth anything to them.

troy you make a good point there. and yeah the thought that they might of taken it themselves at sls crossed my mind briefly(running all possibilites through my head) but yeah, i will deffinatly say that they would know an eclipse is a bad deck to steal. Also that just would not be smart, since if they got caught with it, well I think they would have some real problems as a shop with the law. so I ruled it out right away. I am happy I posted this thread though, even though alot of people have been condescending towards me. it was interesting to read the replys. and yeah looking at it, things look like all I will be out is my time to rebuild the dash since I already have the parts. So thanks to who ever took it for not breaking any windows or panels. but all the same if I find out who it was they better watch out.

You guys honestly think that one of us would steal something out of a customer's car? Are you fucking kidding me? That's probably the most retarded thing I've heard yet. If I wanted a CD player, I would go buy one, or maybe I'd just install one of the 2 that I have sitting in my tool box. If Tufte wanted one, he'd go buy one as well. But considering he has aftermarket stereos and/or headunits in almost all his vehicles, I dont think he'd want your deck. Since we're going this way with it, we could go and say maybe the owner of the car went and stole his own stuff out of his car to try to get new stuff and have someone else pay for it. Pretty fishy how the doors were magically unlocked and the hatch was popped open, but no windows broken out huh? Like I said, whoever broke into your car was obviously good at it, doing it w/ out breaking windows or something, and they obviously knew what you had in there.

how many cars have been outside of sls and have got shit jacked? i hear it all the time. how come i never hear the owners cars getting jacked you knwo i bet there cars have spent a couple nights outside? tintmasters leaves there cars out overnight never heard of anythign getting jacked form them i have seen the wrx outside a few times and that a much nicer car then anything sls works on. why wouldnt u invest in a camrea or two outside then u could find out who did this but yet it still hasnt happened. well whatever its not my prob just pointing things out...
