this is a cold case that is still not resolved to this day, help me solve it please.
In year 2001 I had a holden commodore with a big stereo in it. 2 x 12 inch cerwin vegas in the trunk, with two very high power amplifiers. Around 800rms went through those vegas and on the rear parcel shelf were a set of 7x10 kenwoods, splits in the front and CD deck. I used to park the car inside every night but the car was known around the suburb for its monster stereo. Put out around 140db
It was Christmas night and I returned home about 1am.. (Boxing Day morning).. one day ever I parked the car in the driveway , really tired and thought to myself, who is gonna steal it on Christmas night. Even thief’s have the night off (didn’t watch home alone)
Went to bed... all I remember is hearing my dog bark like crazy, but it was a zappy dog and I was pretty tired. I did get up and look out the window and no one seemed to be around. When I was driving home streets seemed quiet. Dog just didn’t shut up though. Didn’t hear nothing else though.
In the morning I walk outside after breakfast to find my side rear window smashed in and my boot lock completely damaged. I looked in the car, no kenwood 7x10s and both my amps were gone when I opened the boot with the key. Somehow they didn’t open the boot as the cerwin vegas were still there but the amps were gone. Must have been a surgeon as they were bolted to the side of the boot to a board and the subwoofer box was tightly pressed against it. It’s just impossible how they removed the screws and removed the amps in the night. The screws were laid out in the boot. There is no way they opened the boot as the lock was all damaged and they would have take the subwoofer box for sure. I’m just baffled how they removed the amps through only a small opening in the rear seat (centre of seat drops down only) and subwoofer box in the way with woofers facing backwards.
Police came to view the scene, basically spent two minutes and left.
I had insurance fix the boot, window, re tinted and brand new amplifiers even more powerful than before. I even sold the 12 inch subwoofers and replaced with 2x15 inch subwoofers, it was now even more powerful. Would move the hairs on your head and be heard two blocks away.. easy over 140db this time around I also installed an alarm system.
First night I received my car back I parked it on the front lawn, I hear a pop in the middle of the night and the alarm goes off... the thief surprised this time takes off in a car parked down the street. I go outside and the same window was smashed again... was just tinted earlier that day.
So who dunnit?
The suspects
There were a few boys of similar age that lived in my street. Within 5 houses either way. They often had different people come and go and probably at some point talked about my car install.
They were the only people that had intimate knowledge of the installation, it was near impossible to remove the amps if you didn’t know where they were etc
They could see the car if it was outside from their house and I returned the first time after 1am leaving a very small window for an opportune thief.
The other remarkable fact is I then removed the stereo from the car which the local boys knew about it, that car was never touched again, parked outside, sometimes unlocked. Wouldn’t an opportune thief have another crack? They werent to know the equipment was removed. Never came back.
Could it be just an opportune criminal that heard it around the suburbs and had a crack on Christmas? Were they waiting for me to return on Christmas tools in hand? The car wasn’t there until 1am, surely they didn’t hang around waiting.
About a year earlier a SLR Torana was parked a few houses up behind a gate and a car parked behind it. Somehow without anyone hearing the car was moved and the SLR torana was rolled out and rolled down the street with no one hearing. It simply vanished and we were all home.

It’s a cold case, no one was ever caught , help me solve it.
