Tucson Camaro's

[Bodih]

So sorry to hear that Glen. Hope they catch these guys. Even so, it's hard to get back your sense of security. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

Glen,
I am so sorry this happened to you, please let me know if there is anything we can do. I can stand watch for you, I am packing too

Looks like I will be at Watson bright and early tomorrow to see about getting new fobs and changing the frequency or whatever so the old ones won't work. DAMN IT, I feel so violatated. I am walking around the house right now with a snub nosed 38 strapped to my side. Don't think I will get much sleep tonight. PCSD forensics spent about 4 hours going over everything trying to get prints. Looks like they were wearing gloves. I sure hope they try to get back in while I am home. They will never know what happend to them. By the way, the Camaro is at my sister and brother in laws house for safe keeping until I get the fobs changed.

Holy cow dude! I had the same thing happen to me twice in southern Tucson and I know just how you feel. Every day for months I would come home and expect to find my house broken into again. Totally sucks!
If there's anything I can do to help out let me know. Should I still come by tomorrow morning?

Sorry I won't be able to make it tonight. I have to bring the car by Watson and have Ziv take a look at it. I discovered a lug bolt sheared off the front left wheel today.

[Taintedveins]

Hey Troy would it be possible to get the exhaust done next week when the Hobby shop opens back up?

[Transformed]

Glen - so sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how that must feel and suddenly don't mind a bit the alarm company fee we have to pay every month. It's been a rough year for you - let's hope 2012 is a better one!

Looks like I have some work to do tonight. I discovered the sheared lug bolt this morning as I started to leave the house. The car is always garaged, and I'm in a restricted military area when I drive it to work. All five were there and tight when I washed the car last week (the other three wheels were fine).
I took it to Watson to have them check it out and make sure there wasn't other damage. They said they couldn't cover it under warranty because through their expert analysis and calibrated eyeballs, it appears the bolt has been sheared by over-torquing rather than material failure. Besides, if the wheel has ever been removed, or attempted to be removed, by someone other than their service department, it "could" have been damaged by human error. I've not removed the front wheels since I bought the car, and there's never been a reason to remove them during a service call. We can't rotate the staggered tires, and I can clean them all the way thru without removing them, so I've had no reason to remove them.
Ziv checked the price; $3.49 for the stud, $3.53 for the lug nut, and about $120 for the labor. They don't even have the bolt or nut in stock!
So they sent me packing over $130 worth of warranty work. I picked up the parts at another store for less than $10. My biggest fear is that I'll discover further damage once I remove the tire and rotor, and it won't be covered because I'm the one that pulled the parts off. I hope this doesn't go South on me.

Enough of my rant. I understand their rationale (as irrational as it is). I'm just disappointed that they would let $130 stand in the way of customer service and a potentially very dangerous situation.

Wow!!!!! I am really Sorry to hear about your break in Glenn and Your Camaro problems Bob. This is definitely no way to go into the Holidays. I sure hope that everything works out for both of you.
I also hope the start of the New Year will bring better times for all of us.
Everyone have a safe Holiday Season all the best……..TJ

Extended the door ABL lights last week, and installed the dash lights tonight. I still have some adjusting to do, but loving the outcome. Should look great at night with the top down. Pictures are a little grainy (the best I could do in a dark garage.

That sucks! Good luck with getting it changed out.
