Got my car with my 50gb Empeg stolen today.
And carplayer.com is out of stock

So, if anyone in sweden sees a black Audi A4 Avant -02 ( Reg: TDY 705 ). Please give the police a call

My condolences. I hope you get it back

Nice car, I'm sorry to hear about this unacceptable incident though.

I'm currently looking at purchasing an Audi.

Sorry about your loss, car probably going east as many others from Norway...

I noticed you listed the Empeg as stolen first.
did you value it over the car?

Fredrik, so sorry to hear of that. I hope everything turns out ok, I am sure all the board members in Sweden will keep an eye out.

the empeg would be harder to replace :-)

He'll have no problem finding someone to sell him a new Audi, and I would hope that the majority of it's value should be covered by insurance. But insurers can be funny about stereo equipment, and even if they do pay out, he will still have to find someone to sell him an empeg.

My condolences.

well it's no doubt that if my car caught on fire (i seem to have a talent for this) that I would grab the Empeg without thinking twice

Well seeing is how one of the units in my apartment complex just became a pile of ashes (in the last oh say 2 hours) my roommates and I(while watching the firemen work) were discussing what we would take. My list was pets, empeg, and a bottle of liquor. Everything else is fairly easily replaced and I have renters insurance.

As msaeger and genixia said. Its harder to replace the empeg...

Somewhat good news...

The car was found earlier today with the jerks that stole it. Dont know yet if the Empeg still was there.

They probably tried to get away from the police and drove throu an field, so I'm a bit worried how the car looks like...

Stay tuned for updates

Well at least they didn't find just a couple parts with your serial no in some chop shop.

So, for example, [censored] would render the player useless?

I know that I would. Like someone mentioned, the empeg is harder to replace. I can always get another car.

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.

Okay, I give up - what does it mean.

something like:
I've got a catapult. Give me all your money or I will catapult a big fuckin' rock at your head!

LOL

Var i landet var detta?
[eng: where in sweden did this happen?]

Puh! The empeg was still there!
But the remote is missing

Some damages under the car("small"), some burn markes in the ashtray - but the worst was that they had been smoking in the car

(It happend in Växjö in sweden btw)

Thanks for all support!

/Fredrik

But the remote is missing

Then hurry up and get yourself a new remote from the Empeg store before it closes down for good at the end of the month!

! The empeg was still there!

Excellent! (I love my car, but if the Empeg was stolen I would also be more upset about that. I can always get another car...)

but the remote is missing

Worst case, buy a Kenwood remote from Archeon!!

Some damages ....- but the worst was that they had been smoking in the car

Ah, Sweden!!

Will do!

I probably get some colored lenses while at it...

>> Some damages ....- but the worst was that they had been smoking in the car
>Ah, Sweden!!

What? You all smoke in the car?
Ugh!

ewww.. smoking in a car distroys it those bastards, i wonder if they played with the empeg at all?

No. NOBODY smokes in my car !
I once had a friend who didn't believe that when I said it. He kept on insisting that I would drive with the windows open....on the motorway!
So I finally got tired of his nagging and kicked him out and drove on. I tuned on the next exit 10 minutes later, and passed him on the other side. He was still standing there (but he hadn't seen me). So I turned back on the next exit and picked him back up. He'd been standing there for a good 30 minutes. Keep in mind that this was before the breakthrough of GSM phones, so he really had no place to go or no-one to call.
At that time he was pretty pissed about it, but at least he'd lost his appetite for smoking!
Actually we reminice on that story quite a lot, but we can all laugh about it now.
Oh yeah, my friend has also stopped smoking since then...

Yeah, when you got it back, was the same playlist playing? Or did they figure out how to search and stuff and play their own playlist? If my car was stolen, I'd be happy to know that the thief was at least jamming on my stereo.

Better this way. If they couldn't figure it out, they probably just left it there. It looks like it was a case of joyriding. I am glad you got it back in (mostly) good condition.

You might want to alert support, and make certain they take your name / serial number off "The List".
