Arizona Republic from Phoenix, Arizona • Page 28

EDITION STATE EDITION B8 The Arizona Republic Sunday, May 7, 1989 A quick-release bracket allows an in-dash stereo-cassette player to be popped in and out of the dashboard with little effort. The idea is to take the player with you when you leave the car. Stereo thefts apparently rising, along with cost of components STEREO, from page BI which is undertaking the three-month job that will include a television and and a host of video and audio equipment. Dickner said he'll be cautious with his new system, not parking the truck at school and installing a $2,000 alarm system in the truck to protect it. Most car-stereo thefts on the streets, however, do not involve the superexpensive systems, police say.

In Mesa, for example, 25 car stereos were reported stolen during the last two weeks of April. The value of the systems ranged from $100 to $1,380. Although police do not keep "separate statistics on stereo thefts, most officers interviewed said they believe such thefts are on the rise. "It's something that's a constant problem," said Phoenix police Sgt. Steve Wing, supervisor of the property-crime unit at the Union Hills precinct in north Phoenix.

His unit investigates 200 to 300 car-stereo thefts a month, he said, adding that solving the crimes is difficult because there usually are no witnesses or evidence. Most thefts are committed not by professional thieves but by teen-agers who smash open a side window, wait to see if anyone has noticed them, and then proceed to rip a stereo out of the car's dashboard, Wing said. "It's do the job as fast as you can so you can go on to another one," he said. Equipment that sells for hundreds of dollars in the showroom typically fetches just $25 on the street, Wing added. "They get next to nothing for them," 1 he said.

"Enough to give them money to buy alcohol or drugs or whatever they might want that day." JoAnne Rooney, director of the International Audio Sound Challenge Association in Riverside, said the industry is changing rapidly, with advances in high-technology equipment that has become so expensive that in some cases, insurance companies won't cover losses without special addenda to policies. "We're seeing better systems and we're seeing that they are more prone to organized theft," said Rooney, whose trade association conducts contests for car sound systems. The industry, however, has responded with a range of new features and gadgets aimed at making thefts more difficult, said David Sanders, sales manager at Hi Fi Sales in Mesa. Among the newer ways to protect a system: quick-release bracket, in which an in-dash stereo-cassette player can be popped 1 in and out of the dashboard with little effort. The idea is to take it with you when you leave the car.

These tips to deter the crooks are offered from police and stereo dealers: Always lock the car. in lighted areas at night.

Although this system may not prevent thefts, the unit becomes worthless to the illicit holder, who does not know the code.

Car-stereo dealers say the best deterrent, however, is an alarm that Charles Arizona Republic that can hide an expensive stereo looks like an air-conditioning vent. will shriek when the car is jolted. "An alarm is the way to go, because no one's going to stand around and take out a system with the thing blaring," said Nick Graham, assistant general manager at Kustom Kar Sound on East Indian School Road in Phoenix. "If you've got a good system, you can protect it with an alarm that only adds about $300 to the price. We sell them as a package with the stereo most of the time." The quick-release bracket is popu-.

lar, he said, but it also makes it easy for thieves. "If you have that, you better remember to take the thing out every time you get out of the car, because the minute you forget, the thief won't," said Graham, who has installed systems at his shop for people ranging from baseball star Jose Conseco to former Sen. Barry Goldwater. Dan Palka, a senior at Camelback High School who has a quick-release bracket for the system in his Chrysler LeBaron convertible, said, "It's a little bit of a hassle to take it out all the time, but it's better than having it stolen." When he upgrades his system, he said, he may purchase an alarm. "An alarm probably is the best thing if it's practical for you," said Mesa police Sgt.

Dave Zielonka, a detective assigned to vehicle burglaries. "Still, it comes down to this: If you have something a thief wants, he's probably going to get it." TV show to focus on officer's slaying By Pamela Manson The Arizona Republic The scene was familiar. Paramedics gathered around a police officer who lay wounded in a west Phoenix parking lot. It looked like May 27, 1988, the day Officer Kenneth L. Collings was shot.

However, this time the "officer" was an actor playing Collings. The scene was being played out for a segment of America's Most Wanted, a Fox Network show that re-enacts crimes and asks the public's help in finding suspects. The segment, which will be aired at 8 p.m. next Sunday on Channel 15 in the Valley, will focus on Collings. "It's a commemoration of police officers," Michael Cerny, the director of the segment, said about the Collings segment and others that will run on the May 14 show.

A film crew with the show shot scenes late last week in the Valley for the Collings segment. The segment will portray the Phoenix officer at the police academy and at the Cactus Park precinct where he worked. Collings' fellow officers, who volunteered to come in on their day off, will be shown trying to persuade their friend to come to San Diego that weekend. Collings turns them down because he has a job scheduled. The segment will re-create the shooting of Collings at a bank branch at 21st Avenue and McDowell Road, where he was working off-duty as a security guard, and will ask the public for information on the whereabouts of a suspected accomplice in the slaying.

Collings, 32, was shot in the head when he confronted two men leaving the scene of a robbery at the Valley National Bank branch, police said. He died about three hours later. The suspects were involved in three shootouts as they tried to flee. One, Efran Ismael Conde, 24, was shot by police at a west Phoenix complex about an hour after the robbery. He has recovered and is expected to stand trial later this year in the slaying.

Police have said the bullet that killed Collings was fired from a automatic taken from Conde. The man who police suspect was with Conde, Rudy Romero, 21, is believed to have fled to Mexico. Collings' sister, Kitty Taylor of Chandler, was present for much of the filming. She said watching it has been somewhat difficult, but she hopes the show will help locate the suspect. 807-Funeral Directors MENKE FUNERAL HOME SUN CITY 979-6451 SHADOW MOUNTAIN MORTUARY Greenway Phoenix, Az 85022 971-7350 WHITNEY MURPHY FUNERAL HOME 4800 E.
