How Huge a Risk by Leaving Items in Trunk and Compartment for Service?

AoshichanX · 10-08-2007, 01:37 AM

Hey I complained about a slow I-Drive to my SA and I have an appointment tomorrow morning. Judging from the items I have in storage, I'm not sure if they'd steal anything or not.

I know by the time I finish writing this thread, I could have emptied out my car, but I've spent a lot on detailing products, and they're all safely hidden in the "secret" compartment in the trunk. I don't want to take em all out and my mom would be like

:

Would you recommend me to spend the extra 5-10 minutes to clean my stuff out? Would they really steal stuff? Here's what I have (details are for fun haha):

Passenger Side Compartment
- 2x Microfiber Towels
- CD
- Vehicle Certificate

Central Compartment
- 2x #2 Ticonderoga Black Pencils
- e90post.com guide to adjusting Logic 7 EQ settings

Trunk
- 500 ML Grey Goose
- 2x Microfiber Towels
- 2x Tennis Rackets
- 1x Racquetball Racket
- 1x Workout Gloves + Back Support
- 1x Meguiars Ultimate Quick Detailer
- 1x ONR Diluted Quick Detailer
- 1x Clay Magic Clay Bar + Lube
- 1x Black Magic Tire Wet + Cobra Applicator
- 1x P21S Wax
- 1x QUIXX Scratch Remover

EDIT:
Oh yeah, how long have your upgrades typically taken? 3-4 hours? 8-12?

I wouldn't worry about it. We had one instance I can remember in the last year of a moron (and he really was) washing cars stealing change from customers. He didn't last real long.

I've gone in for servicing with a body in the trunk, don't worry about it.

Dead or alive?

sambonator · 10-08-2007, 02:06 AM

I see dead people...

trancemaster · 10-08-2007, 02:25 AM

LMFAO @ this thread

rleven · 10-08-2007, 03:06 AM

What Grey Goose and no vermouth. How stupid. Oh yeah, but so is this thread.

wj4 · 10-08-2007, 03:11 AM

I don't really leave anything valuable in my trunk. Just some tools, flashlight, books, and maybe my backpack. I never worry about my car when I go to the dealership.

as long u give them all 5's, everything is cool.

Master Deep · 10-08-2007, 03:27 AM

I always take out my ipass and garage door opener and tire guage (it wasn't cheap). Rest I leave in there.

But also keep in mind I have like nothing but a few burned CD's and maybe $1 in change in my car besides the above. I try and keep it clean. lol

typeszh · 10-08-2007, 05:15 AM

Take out the stuff you would be really pissed if found missing. Simple enough?

karliejai · 10-08-2007, 01:06 PM

the grey goose is a good idea

I think the OP spent more time writing that post than if he were to actually clear his trunk out, relieving him of unneccesary stress...

Silvr&Blk · 10-08-2007, 01:29 PM

From past experience, you should be cool leaving ur stuff in the trunk wid the dealer. Valuable item like an ipod, wallet, jewelry I would definitely take out (no brainer).

TMNT · 10-08-2007, 01:37 PM

By the time you finished creating this thread, you could have just taken all of the stuff out.

But seriously you should be ok. Like another poster said, anything worth some serious money like an ipod, camera, or expensive sunglasses I would take out.

Sedan_Clan · 10-08-2007, 01:40 PM

I haven't had any issues regarding theft.

RRGOO7 · 10-08-2007, 01:53 PM

i bet the tech will start sipping the goose...

stooken · 10-08-2007, 01:58 PM

i take out all personal items.

nmulax · 10-08-2007, 02:39 PM

Why do you drive around with a bottle of Grey Goose, Clay bar, tire wet, wax, and scratch remover?

Gort · 10-08-2007, 02:51 PM

Must get the urge to detail the vehicle after a Grey Goose bender
