mario_82_ZXT Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Well, it was only a matter of time till it happened. There's been a huge wave of car break-ins in my neighborhood (you can see lots of shattered glass in the surrounding houses). I guess someone really really wanted my stereo, as they punched a hole in the corner at the end of the window, then realized the lock was in the middle (93 SE-R) and proceeded to punch another one out. (Last night was one of the few nights that I didn't put the face plate away...) Needless to say the passenger seat has blood splattered on it, and it's of no use apparently to the Tucson PD as they only get a sample if I knew who had done it. Or even make it out here only if I knew who did it. No report or anything, just some paperwork to do describing it so they have it "on file". Any suggestions? Mario PS I hope the crack-head who did it has a hard time pawning that radio off as it requires a code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Ideas...Yeah find a new place to live and not because of the break in, because of the police! Damn you have a DNA sample handy, if nothing else they could hold it until they had someone in custody. Anyhow, to get the blood out use a baking soda/water paste and scrub it.

Datsun350Z Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Sorry to hear about the broken glass, blood and stolen radio. Karma is a bitch. Hopefully his hand will get infected and fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I've had good luck using Turtle Wax upholstery cleaner. Bummer about your car. My Mom lives in Tucson, had her Neon stolen out of her parking lot. The cops were actually pretty good, they found it 2 months later in Mexico.

naviathan Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hydrogen peroxide is ok, but it will pull out more than just the blood if the material is colored. That's why most hair bleach for women use hydrogen peroxide as an activator, it reconstitutes the bleach and promotes color stripping as well.

283VZ Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Stay away from Hydrogen Peroxide or cleaning products with "OXY" in them it's Peroxide in disguise. I assume the blood has dried, so chip/flake off as much as possible, then vacuum the area,then mix 1 cup cold water,2 tablespoons ammonia,1 tablespoon or less mild detergent,apply solution to clean towel and aggitate the spots a little,don't scrub ! then blot with another towel or vacuum with wet dry vac, repeat until clean.

283VZ Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 You haven't had color loss on clothes in the washing machine because the rinse cycle uses much more water probably 15-20 gallons, to flush all the Peroxide out, not possible on carpet or upholstery.

Hartspank Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 * I'm Winston Wolfe. I solve problems. * You have a corpse in a car, minus a head, in the garage. Take me to it. * You know what you two look like? Like a couple of guys who just blew off somebody's head. Stripping off those bloody rags is absolutely necessary.

mario_82_ZXT Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 as for the blood. seek the help of a private investigator if it ends up being worth the price and you want pay back. some guys will do it for cheap cheap cheap! No money , I replaced the window with a JY one ($65, last one in town). It's ridiculous how easy it is to work on the doors of these Sentra SE-Rs. The biggest pain was vacuuming out all the glass shards. As for the blood, I did the baking soda paste (only thing I could find in our house haha), and you could see it start to be absorbed. Then with water and tide on a towel I got it pretty much all off. While working on it in the garage I saw a raggedy 1st gen eclipse with a fart pipe blasting some music with two "types" inside. As soon as I made eye contact they rounded the house and flew off. Wouldn't be surprised if they were scoping out the houses... Here's what it looked like: They cut themselves making the second hole. My car didn't go down without a fight! lol I've found a place I can store my Z at but it's 45 min away, and the damn thing isn't running right now (gave my MS box to my dad). Thanks for all the suggestions, Mario PS Pulp Fiction and Superbad are f'ing amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Well. A Louisville slugger is a good substitute for money. Baleeee'dat! Just keep an eye out for illegal activity, or warn your neighbors. And most importantly, find out where that DSM is usually hangin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
