Well today was a real monday for me :/ . So i Walked out to my truck at lunch time to grab my wallet and i noticed my interior had more light entering  which was odd (all my windows are tinted). So as i get closer it looks like the window is down.. Ok weird.. walk around and yep someone smashed my window and stole all my belongings including my backpacks and wallet right out of my work parking lot where crime rarely happens. 

 

I think its time to buy a security dash cam and was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction.

Cameras are great, maybe next time you'll get to watch it happen.  I hate to say it, but if you hadn't left things like back packs and, worse, you wallet in the car for the thieves to see, you probably would not have been broken into.  Not saying it's your fault, but you did make yourself a target.

Sorry this happened to you.  It is an awful, violating, experience.  I hope your items are replaceable and the thief gets the correction he/she needs.  Looking forward, a camera is a good idea. Even with a camera though, chances are you won't get your stolen items back.  I have  a heavy gauge aluminum box, chained up in my locked canopy for the times when I need to secure items in my truck.  My setup is not bullet-proof, but may discourage a quick smash and grab.

I agree. I have to tell my wife at times when she goes to work to stop leaving her phone in the car. Even when we go out, she will try to leave her wallet in the car. I have to remind her to take it with her. It's the temptation factor for a casual thief, "Hey, it's sitting right there, this will be a quick one". Hopefully he will be able to get his stuff back.

We both have a dash cam, but I see that as only good for when I'm driving to have for accidents. I leave it in my car for the parking lot accident when I'm gone, but I'm sure the camera will be gone as well if my truck gets broken into.

Blame the victim is the cop out for everything , you should not have to go the work and take all your stuff with you with out being robbed  because your stuff is in sight of a theif , but truth is if they get caught they are given all your info ,because you accused them or video-ed them, but u are not allowed to get any of there info because now they are protected from you ,

 

Laws are 2 protect the thieves, my neighbors camera caught someone going into there car stole a few dollars and a small wallet with all her new born baby papers that she put there for her appointment the next day, when  she  called the   police they were real apologetic but in reality they said you will never see your stuff again , she asked if She should call the news and show them the video the guy looked right at the camera, their advise was don't !, because they could come back and hurt you so just cut your loses  , he video-ed the security camera footage with his cell phone made a report and left that was 2 + years ago never got her stuff or satisfaction of an arrest , camera did not help her at all !

Stay on topic. OP is looking for opinions on cameras. Blaming OP is not the purpose of the thread

I know he is wanting camera info but every time I hear of someone getting their wallet stolen it reminds me of the Old Charles Bronson movie Death Wish 2 where a gang of thieves steals his wallet and the shows up at his crib, kills the housekeeper etc.  OP be very cautious in the near future.

Most comments are connected to the topic and I think members should be allowed to offer related items for an op to consider.  I do agree that when personal criticisms are given it is inappropriate but alternatives should be welcomed. (imo)

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
