Wilson Sasha got Stolen

[Sonus]

Hi,

On new years 2015 my Wilson Sasha speakers in Argento Silver got stolen, along with everything i owned.
The serial numbers are 001 and 002.

Keep an eye out for me.

Thanks!

+1 totally agree...very sorry Sonus

Terrible news. That is one disadvantage of smaller Wilson speakers. I would like to see crooks rip of my 650lb. Per channel X-2.2's....

Sorry to hear that. I hope that they will reappear sooner or later on the used market. 001 and 002 serial #s are easy to remember.

I'm surprised that someone stole hifi equipment. I got a friend whos house was robbed when he was on holidays, and nothing from his hifi was stolen. He has a $300.000+ system. His dedicated listening room, which is in his basement (has no windows), was used as a place to cut open his safe. The thievs literally used drills and some other cutters to open the safe a few feet from his speakers !

They did break the safe eventyally, but took cash only (half a million USD).

Easier to carry $500,000 USD than an over $300,000 sound system

Better get a security system with wireless motion detectors and battery back-up power.

Thank you all

I already have a replacement (X-2.2) on its way and should be installed next week.
I consider it a treat after what we have been through

You will love the X2.2 way better than your Sasha

Silver lining...great to hear...killer good speakers

I feel your pain Sonus. My Sashas ( in candy apple red) were stolen when we moved to Portland a year ago. The scoundrels actually took them to the dealer to potentially audition them to a prospective buyer. Cops could do nothing unless caught, originally, red handed. Possesion of stolen property! Ha, the district atty wouldn't even suggest arrest as defense atty would only have to say they were bought at a flea market. They just let insurance take care of it all.

I strongly encourage all to catelog your gear, take lots of pictures, and if you have the receipts, keep them. Then make sure your insurance policy will cover.

I did replace with Alexias.

That is terrible. I hope I don't live in your neighborhood. To be honest, when I come home the first thing I do is make sure the stereo is here.

 

[Sonus]

Let the healing process begin

The X2's should sooth over your loss very nicely. They are great speakers.

I agree. A big leap over your stolen speakers

...now if these get stolen...do you get WAMMs?

I apologize...actually, getting anything stolen is pretty traumatic. i genuinely did not mean to make light of that. Enjoy your mighty X2s!!!

 

[DSkip]

I'm curious - did you find out how they were stolen and make necessary security changes? I would hate for you to have to go through this scenario again.

I'd be a little scared to buy replacements immediately until I knew they would be safe and secure.

I have 1080P HD cameras all over, a new 3G battery backup monitored 24/7 security system, on top of that i signed up for a private security company patrolling the area and visiting my house few times a day and (always the best part for last) a big mean dog outside.

I sure hope this will stop them from coming after me again.
