because i still owned it on paper, registered and titled to me until he made his last payment.

who pays for a car in installments like that? This is obviously a case that shows why its stupid.

anyway, can't wait to see the video. hows the quality? hopefully not too shitty

WTF? Cars and houses are the two most common items people pay for in installments.

This is ATOT. Members here can pay in full on a mansion and a Bugatti Veyron without breaking a sweat.

Still recovering from that hot 3some with those 2 supermodels?

Edit: On a more serious note, OP that is awesome. Nice when the system works. Hope that scumbag gets everything he deserves and more.
 
I spot this just as I post a thread looking for technology to record other details in a car. 🙂 I need something that logs and shows the exact speed, date, and location suitable for court (can't tamper the date, etc). Doesn't have to transmit... just log.

so back on march 5th a car i sold to our fiends teenage son was stolen, he only had 200 bucks left to pay on it so i felt really bad for him (just liability insurance so he was screwed). to top it off the fucktards who stole it did it the day after my mom passed away so it just added to the stress.

anyway for lower insurance rates American family insurance offers a program called teen safe http://www.teensafedriver.com/faqs.htm where they install a camera in the car that records certain events like breaking hard, fast acceleration, hard turns, accidents. when a event happens to trigger the camera it will record a few seconds before and after the event, then uploads the video by cell IP to the teen drive safe company and the parent can see the video on their website. its a pretty slick system they have. So we were checking the website for weeks to see if the fucktards did something to trigger the camera but we got nothing.

last week i got a call from the police saying the car was found abandoned in a apt complex and was being impounded so that was good news now to see what kind of condition the car is in and i had to pay 85 bucks to get the car out of impound which pissed me off, im the victim here and i got fucked again.

the car was in good shape, they left the window down so the passenger seat was soaked from all the rain we had, the ignition was not punched which was a good and the kids txt books from school were still in there. as we searched the car we found the camera under the seat so we plugged it in.

guess what? the fucktards are on video!!!! they hit the speed bumps hard that are front of the elementary school which is just a block away from where it was stolen from. I call the detective assigned to the case and told him what i had and he said to email it to him. i tried many times but i guess the county's system blocks .mov files. so i tried putting a .mov.txt but that still didnt work so i just burned it to disk and took it down to him this morning.

so the detective pops the cd in and plays the video and starts laughing. the cop says see his right eye? and i said yea looks like somebody popped him in the eye. the cop opens a file he has on his desk and BAMM!! inside the file are mug shots of said fucktard but the thing by his eye is not a black eye but a stupid ass tattoo. not only that he several other tats one of which is very identifiable. On his right eye above the eyebrow it says FUCK and under his right eye just above the cheek bone it says COPS. lol what a fucktard. (note really cant see his right eye in the video due to the fuzzy dice the kid had hanging from his rear view mirror)

so there was another cop standing next to me while we watched this and he ask the detective who the chick is sitting in the passenger seat and the detective says that is his girlfriend and i know where she lives. BWAHAHAHAHA so busted. I asked the detective if the fucktard was in custody and he said no the mug shots are from prior car thefts. so i hope that since he is a career criminal and with the video the DA and judge locks his ass up for a long ass time.

as for the chick when they hit the speedbump she says in the video "buckle up" stupid bitch you can die in a fire too!

i will post the video when this case is settled and those two fucktards are locked up. both of them look to be in their late 20's



dont forget to sue for your $85 back.

Doubtful. But still a nice story and better than the alternative of getting away with it.

so you're saying the video was recorded but never uploaded?

yes because just before they hit the speed bump the woman says "whats that" meaning the camera because it has a red LED that stays lit. When they hit the speed bump fucktard leans over and looks right at the camera and reaches up to take it off the windshield which unplugged the power, no power no upload. fucktard then tossed it under the passenger seat where i found it.

i plugged the camera back into its power supply and the video upload.

the cameras are for erratic driving so the car would be on supplying power, they are not designed as a security system with internal batteries.

This technology sounds pretty cool.

Yea but hopefully it will never be made mandatory by the government to be in all vehicles.

Government may not, but insurance companies may either require it or provide a discount for having such.
