Thieves are the worst. Sorry to hear they got away with your stuff and damaged your truck. I think train horns hooked up to an alarm system would make them run, especially if the train horns were mounted inside the vehicle. Maybe have it hooked up to a separate hidden battery so when they cut the main battery line, they get really surprised. A lot of money and time but would be awesome to see them running away deaf.

her purse was under the passenger seat and my gun was in the center console. None of which were visible. Im sure what they came in for was the $1000 radio in the dash.

I understand that totally but it's like leaving a ten on the seat and having a thousand in the console and then saying "dam, they stole all my money". I leave that stuff at home or have a hiding place where they can't donate that much time to find it (like the time they stole my fender washers). I don't know how they got in then, maybe a slim jim.

No. I guess you missed the point, I know they will break in for a nice radio but the minute you install it your break in chances go up which is why I say hide things that are valuable or leave them home if you can. This way they only will take what they see. Don't get me wrong, I was burglarized 7-8 times and I know how it feels which is why I am trying to help others. They are not going to spend time going through all your possible hiding places but will smash and grab what they see.
