The joke's on them... the stereo was broken.

But the doors... I kind of need them.

8. thanks, but
It'll cost a bomb to ship them. I'll find a set locally.

Actually, this is worth an insurance claim; the winch alone was $900.

We have a Provincially-owned, not-for-profit car insurance company in BC, so claims don't affect your rate/policy unless you're at fault. Theft/vandalism claims don't count.

Still, I think my deductable is $500. Sheesh.

4. damn.
I've had vehicles stolen before, and that sucks. Worst part is arranging to get around for a few days until the rental car is arranged.

At least I still have wheels.

3. That sucks, dude
We had stuff stolen out of our Jeep, but never the doors. Harsh, man. Soft top, or hard top? (I'm guessing soft top...)

5. Soft top, but full steel doors w/ roll-up windows.
Luckily I have a set of half-doors and vinyl windows, but 'tis the season to be rain-proof.

12. Ugh. I'm sorry to hear that....
I'm glad you have some 1/2s for the time being. Good luck finding (making?) replacements :hug:

6. Eh...you wanted safari doors anyway, right?
Winches aren't cheap, either. Some people just suck.

9. I'm more curious...
...about who is organised enough to steal a 100lb winch and a set of doors that probably also weigh 100lbs.

Worst part is, it's probably another Jeep owner. That's just crappy.

11. And...aren't winches fairly securely bolted to the bumper?
I mean, this took time. I'm positive it was another Jeep owner, or on behalf thereof.

7. Shit, CA. I'm sorry to hear that.
The onset of winter is NOT a good time to be missing your goddamn car doors.

10. Jeeps should have signs on them
that say

"Steal from me"
Most are very easy to break into.

That sucks about your Jeep though. :(
