MY CAR WAS STOLEN!!

On Jan. 21st tuesday morning at 4:15am a neighbor was up early feeding her new baby and heard some clanking outside. She looked outside and noticed three maybe four people with knit caps on (the tallest being about 6') pulling what looked to be a battery from a car (my 1996 EK). Then she noticed them wheeling away two wheels, so being extremely suspicious at 4am she and her husband called the cops, while they continued to go to work on my baby!

About 10 minutes later, while the husband was on the phone they here a car start and quickly pull around and drive away. At 5:15am I get waken up to the pounding on my bedroom door by my roomate saying there's an officer downstair needing to talk to me (I already know what its about). Si he asks me to bundle up (cause its 15* degrees out) and meet him outside because my car was stripped.

So....I meet him outside and he drive me around my building to where they rolled my car. At 8:30pm on monday night, I came home with my girlfriend in the car and backed my car in to a spot in my apartment complex. She remebers that the doors were locked because she went back to get somethign out but said the door was locked so she couldnt open it. I have a clifford alarm, one fo the lower models, with disabler and power door locks installed. So if the doors were locked and since my lights flashed, my system was armed @ 8:30pm.

What they ended up doing was with 3+ people (the neighbor thinks one was a girl maybe) they broke into my car quickly disabling my alarm, or it didnt go off, then worked on my steering column, broke that, and then pushed my car down the lot and around the corner. This was probably about 3:00 or 3:30am. Then they continued to unbolt my JDM red valve cover, my brand new recaros, XM equipment, amplifier, sub and enclosure, my tools, which they also used to take apart my car, a really old sorry *** modem I was about to give to a friend, my headunit, and radar detector. Of course I'm not gogin to mention what they didn't take but let's just say my neighbors saved my wallet. Thank god they didnt have a key or they woulda just driven it away, or they could have even towed it. They also got two of my wheels off, and had the third halfway off, and left both of my wheels on the grass. This meant that they left in huge hurry.

The cops believe they had a scanner because the police were closing in only a few blocks away and the wife said she heard a car start and quickly drive away, then the cops came minutes later. The officer asked if I knew any latinos becuse he said they believe that is who is doing it lately around my area in Howard County Maryland. I am not racist in the least nor was he when he asked this, but it was because that is who they think is doing it.

I told him that I had been to JIM COLEMAN HONDA two weeks ago for an oil change (yes I didnt change it because it was cold, I have no garage, and it was snowing). If I had a garage this would probably not have happened, but because i live in an appartment complex it was only a matter of time. I plan on buying an autoloc but I think that they woulda just worked around it.

God thieves have become a real problem to people on this board...Sorry to hear about that, you think they checked your car out when they changed the oil? that is crazy..

Maybe we should make a forum entitled, "What has been stolen Now"

khang77642

daymmm, BRO... sorry to hear about that. Makes me think twice about my auto-loc.

vg30dett71510

theyll be back, if it was that easy the first time just think what they could do with alittle actual planning. im not saying there right,but you either need to get a garage, or accept the fact that people are gonna steal stuff. dont floss what you cant afford to lose.

Thieves are indeed GAY!! I am sick and tired of hearing about these damn thefts!! Sorry about your car Parker, you and me should go do some investigating soon (I bet I have an idea of who might be behind this...)

(teh)H2OUUP2

Man Parker this F**ken sucks, at least you still have 80% of your car. This is why I want to get rid of my car.........I really believe now, that the people responsable for stealing cars reads this board. That sucks. This isn't a accusation but roll to Rockville, MD to the Barnes and Noble and check out the riced out cars with tons of JDM parts.......hmmmmm makes me wonder. Or the Lauerl races.

couter.net

I believe there is some truth to that, maybe not this board but another local one, when I had my first hatchback for sale I liste the mods... stereop system and etc. What do you know a few weeks later my stereo system got stolen !!

smnowell

Dude, I couldn't agree with you more! I SWEAR Rockville meets have to do with half of these car thefts in the MD/VA/DC area...******* thieves man, if I catch a thief I think I will rip his ***** off and make him eat them

Targa250R

Those seats would be a dead giveaway on anyone who may have them - weren't they a one-time-only deal?
