Today, I got a new CD player for my car and an alarm installed for added security. After work, I saw my windows smashed, the CD player gone, the alarm wires cut, and a note that said, "Try again." FML
I agree, your life sucks (20113) - you totally deserved it (1063)

Your thief is amusing, his theft is not.
Sucks to be you, good sir.

This is either really funny, or its own species of epic fail.

Don't buy your car alarms from car thieves, unless you hate your insurance company.

if there is finger prints and he gets caught go to him and say CHECKMATE BITCHHH!!!!'

same here. if her thief was that skilled he should just drive off with the car.

#31 - not necessarily. CD player theft - rarely gets caught. Car theft - much more serious issue, and the car is way more easily recognized. I'd totally go for the less risky yet profitable approach, and just jack the stuff *in* the car. How much skill does it take to cut wires?

the message here is clear: we'll take your stuff if we want to

Just import a security system from South Africa and anyone foolish enough to try to break into your car will be in for a surprise. Or, just do what most people in cities do and don't leave anything valuable in your car.

Get an 8-track player and you'll be able to leave your windows rolled down.
Occam's Razor: the simplest solution is always the best.
It's simple. The thief must be someone you know. Otherwise, they wouldn't have said, "Try Again." It could be anyone who knew about the installations. Check mechanics, coworkers with the police. Hell, it could have been family doing it as a joke. But check the people. My guess is the mechanics because of the fact that they were able to remove the stuff. But it's just a guess. Good luck on your clue hunt.
#25 that made me lol. P: The OP is a man btw and that really sucks. I feel bad for you. :( Better luck next time :D

did u happen to think that the person might know you or was watching u? bcuz it seems they knew that the stereo and the alarm were new.

for installing a cd player instead of getting a Bluetooth speaker for an iPod or just an iPod dock, YDI, and nobody ever answers but what does OP stand for, original poster?(like of the story)

I'm really sorry 'bout that,
but i have to give that guy some props for such a wicked sense of humor :3
fake. people who steal aren't going to take the time to write a note, much less spell it right

haha that sucks.
but i love the "try again" part with this fml. haha

Haven't you ever heard of detachable face plates? More to the point, why get a CD player at all? An MP3 player and a tuner is all you need, and if you bothered to look, it wouldn't have cost you much more (if at all) than what you did buy.

#2-did it say ANYWHERE that the OP bought it from a thief? No, no it did not. Also, some people LIKE listening to CDs, or they have alot.
LMFAO. That's hilarious. Put another one in. Plant a trip activated C4 charge in the car. And blow the guy to pieces. Hey. You might lose a car and a radio. But in your new car i bet no one will touch anything.

I heard myths in Portland (OR) that if you have an audio store install your car stereo equipment/cd player they will come to your house and steal your equipment. I know people that would drive a few hours away and have them install the equipment there. I don't know if its true or happens in other places. But its something to consider.

This has actually happened in Hood River, OR. The place is still in business, but most wont do business with them.
I've always said, if you're going to commit a minor crime, do it with a sense of humour.

I still use a cd player. Mainly mp3 cds. They are cheep when they break compared to the expensive, broken mp3 players I have had in the past. Easy to just make another cd.
Mine has two USB ports, RCA input, Aux, and Bluetooth, but I still use the CD player on occasion. It's nice to have the option.
Dude... your car needs to be able to defend itself.
Like... try making it look less expensive.
Also, try enabling the car to deliver non-lethal electric shocks when one touches the handles or other metal part without disabling the security system.
I'd like to see the thief steal another radio after being tasered by a car.
