Unbelievable. You have a serialized SIRIUS radio and it's stolen. You report it. You think SIRIUS has sympathy for you? Forget it.....

View this news report. A thief steals your SIRIUS radio, and SIRIUS doesn't care. They will still activate your thief's new radio.

Anything to keep Sirius' subscription numbers up.

Think about it:

Legit user's Sirius radio stolen
Legit user buys another Sirius radio and activates it.

Stolen radio sold on Ebay
Stolen radio activated again

WOW! Now Sirius gets TWO subscriptions!!

What a scam!

The video link did not work. Here is a link directly to the story:

Sirius is encouraging theft! Not to mention the cost of a broken window and other damage to the vehicle. Plus the time and effort to fix it all!
