Take a look at that cops website, very cool

Very interesting. Very frustrating for those of us in law enforcement.

I wonder what idiot at sirius made that decision. You have to report it to the police, OK fine. The police report/incident number verified through the agency by sirius should be enough. They(sirius) then wants the police to subpoena the phone records. WAIST OF TIME! Deactivate the radio until it is returned to the owner(not going to happen) or deactivate it permanently. The company is enabling thieves to commit crimes and not even try to help. It's all about the $$$$.

I would not WASTE my money on a SIRIUS radio or subscription simply because they hired Howard Stern. He is an absolute idiot IMHO. I would rather listen to Don Imus. Hope he goes to XM!

XM and SIRIUS are trying to merge.

Its all about the MONEY...A criminal with a subscription is better than no subscription. They don’t make a profit on the radios themselves but the subscription has a great profit margin. Plus investors look at number of customers. Its like the Cell companies when new customers get better prices that loyal customers because they are locked in for 2 years anyway..

That is crazy at least cell phone companies do a better job when you report a phone stolen.

Here's someone after my own heart. I'm an XM subscriber (have been for years now) and I'll never go Sirius simply because they carry that idiot Stern.
