The dash face was bent down under the steering column, the stereo was gone, passenger side lock barrel was pulled out of the door, paint and sheet metal damage.
$1,300 damage for a $200 stereo
Mike, sorry to hear that BOB was broken into. With all the work you've had done to it, BOB is now a target unfortunately.

I remember locking my car at the mall and setting another guy's alarm off with my key fob. Not even the same car companies! I know you don't even want to hear this but its true. Sorry Dude. I'm just glad they didn't take Bob from you. I hate to say it but You can always buy more Fireworks. It would be nice if you can find out how they gain entry. If you do please let us know.

Unfortunately, I solved the mystery on how they got in.......................
And yes, those scratches are all the way to metal. I've also found a few slices in the paint. At least one on each bumper.
This is probably gonna be major to have fixed because of the paint. Otherwise it would be a simple fix.

The fireworks and subs are the least of my worries. I gotta feeling I'm looking at major repainting. Price you pay for having a custom car as a daily driver I guess. I'm just hoping I don't get screwed by my insurance company.

Was this a meeting you regularly attend? They must've known you had a subbox there. These folks probably knew you and it seems to me that they were watching you...

What do you mean by screwed by the insurance company? Did you have it appraised yet and get it insured for that amount? If not, they are only obligated to return it to the Victory Red I would think. My other concern would be the possibility of insurance premium being increased, mandatory deductible increase or even cancelled.
I worked in the industry for over 15 years and saw this happen many times unfortunately. But as you said...it's something you have to be aware can happen when you drive a high profile car like Bob. Cool looking cars like yours bring out all the dirtbag pieces of crap unfortunatly.
