Last night, some clever thieves stole the air bags from my Mazda 3. They somehow entered without breaking the windows or causing a lot of noise. The car was locked. I heard a few honks last night like a taxi coming to pick someone up, but never thought it would be thieves.
The police spent four hours at my house this morning. Two regular policemen and one CSI-type who spent three hours going through my car for clues. She found three possible clues which may help. Mine is the second car hit in two nights on my block.
The car started with no problems after I reconnected the battery and I drove it to work. Someone tell me, what is the purpose of these stock security systems in modern cars? We purposely tried to get the alarm to sound, but it was impossible for us.
Now I need to find out how long it will take to fix the car. I'm unsure if US airbags are different than European ones.
