Well when I was home last month I parked my truck in its usual safe haven and went home, normally I check in on it every day, but this time I went two days without checking and when I went back to check on it I found the driver side window rolled down, the CB ant. missing and the passenger door daylite window shattered, that's the little square window by the feet.

I already knew without looking that obviously my CB and GPS and anything of value would be gone. The person cut off the seal on the outside window and then used the CB ant. to bash in the inside window, since it's double paned. They stole my CB and GPS and all the DVDs and CDs and computer games I had in my shelf. The police came and took the report, but of course there isn't much they can do, the stuff is gone and the thieves would obviously have worn gloves.

They left the CB ant in the cab of the truck, and also they didn't steal my XM radio thank goodness.
I went out and bought a new Cobra29 chrome radio at a cost of $90.00 and I took it to a CB shop in Ohio and had it peaked and tuned, connex board and a LED color changing meter light installed for $70.00, which I thought was a good deal, until the CB blew up and started smoking!
Hell I couldn't even hook it up it would blow a fuse every time, and the CB shop man said he didn't know what was wrong with it, it must be the wiring in my truck he said.

So later that night I took it to another CB shop along my route in WV and it turns out the first guy had no idea what he was doing, he had everything shorted out, even the meter light! It costs me another 80.00 to have him repair the CB, which was a mess, wires melted and burnt together. He finally got it all working though, and now I've learned a valuable lesson, don't ever leave anything valuable behind when you're away from your truck! Even though I've been fine there all these years, it only takes that ONE time to lose everything.
