All this happened in the parking lot behind the shopping center where my stores at, in the same parking places I was told all employees had to park. This is the third time since the first week in April a vehicle of mine has been broken into. My truck twice and the EX once, they tried a second time on here but didnt get in.

So far Im down :
2 Ipods
A head unit
A GPS
$900 for a check that was taken and cashed an hr away (still waiting on the paper work to get to the bank so they can refund the money)
A door handle assembly (the whole plastic piece where your handle is)
3 key cylinders, both on my truck and one on the EX.

Tonight a girl from the Bone Fish Grill had her car broken into also. The shopping center has 24hr security too by the way....

I would ask the folks if they wanted to pay my insurance and for my lost items as well...if not tow me...at least it would be cheaper!

Check your thread in the 7.3 section. I never messed with Viper stuff when I used to do it, but their stuff isnt bad when you buy it online and install it yourself. There are other things out there but for 2 way paging its great. I have 3 buddies with that kinda setup on it and it works too well sometimes! Make sure you adjust it to where its not TOO sensitive!
