So, somebody decided to trade me cars last night.

I go out to the ole hatch to do that daily commute thing.. and notice a strange first-gen CRX sitting directly across from my hatch.
"Hm. Never seen that one here before."
That's when I notice that my hatch isn't there. Dude... where's my car? Do the stupid look up the block, look down the block, as if I'd see my car parked somewhere else, or catch the bandit making off with the goods or something. She's nowhere to be found.

So I go inspect my "new" 1g CRX, because I've never seen it around before, and I'm not saying I live in a nice neighborhood, but this thing is waaaay too busted to belong to any of my neighbors. So, these clues tell me that this is the thief's abandoned car:
1- Broken passenger side rear window.
2- Keys in the ignition.
3- Strike that.. TOYOTA key SHOVED into the ignition, along with a Mitsubishi key, Mazda key, Hyundai key, etc..
4- Broken ignition bezel.
5- Expired registration, expired temp tags.
6- Pink slip on the floor.
Interesting.

So, I turn around and drive the Datsun to work.

So I'm going to call the La Mesa police, as that's where this silver nugget (CRX) is from. Maybe it's somebody's missing baby, or at least somebody's missing commuter car.

If anybody sees my white '90 hatch with blue interior, orange tinted front signals and Corrado G60 BBS wheels with nearly new shitty all-seasons(newest junkyard score.. installed on tuesday), please let me know. Other distinguishing marks are: cracked windshield (across the bottom, almost the whole width), Si cluster.
**** thieves.

Damn bro that sucks.... I hate theives... Atleast it wasnt your Datsun tho... Hope u get it back in one peice...

 

if you can post some pics of the car, but ill keep an eye out in mira mesa/rancho p area(i hope you get it back)

 

Don't have any pics.
It's just a really clean bone stock hatch, aside from previously mentioned quirks/wheels/tinted signals.

Thanks for keeping an eye out.

 

Sorry to hear about that man.

Another local honda is gone

I'll keep an eye out around here. Best of luck getting it back!

They found it! In Mexico.
Only things missing are head unit (I still have the faceplate), and the battery. No word on condition, that's the only info I have. If it's in decent condition, I'm taking it back for daily driver status, and installing a snap-off wheel and 2 hidden kill switches.

Here's to hoping my CDs are still in there (obscure stuff that nobody likes, only 3 real CDs), and my BBSs.
We'll see "in 5-10 days".

 

:crosses fingers:

 

my god, so anyone with any car can get across the border huh? thats fucked. ******* border patrol should check lic and registration.

 

Good luck.

 

What was said about the Crx that was parked?

 

hope it turns out ok.

Seriously.

And the CRX was most likely stolen. When I filled out the police report (after work), the cop had the car towed. I looked inside again and there were two broken clubs. Lame.

 

damn man sorry to hear, i8 live next door in Vista and i already had people jack my stereo and try to steal my car.

I never had issues with any of my CRX's or EF hatches all the bad crap started to happen when i started driving my DC integra

this crap needs to stop, and stay down south but it seems like its creeping up here

Fallbrook here i come

 

Sorry to hear, man - keep us updated on the condition that it's found in when you go get it. You may want to snap some pics of it (not to necessarily post online, but good to have handy for posts like this) but possibly for insurance purposes later on down the road. Just a thought!

Alex

 

I got your abck down here near the border if i see it...i'll give you a heads up.....that sucks buddy....

 

****** latinos

I want a lattna

hook me up with a pretty one please ??

 

Kinda OT but I was thinking.....wouldn't it be a good idea if you had a really worked car to get Lojack? That way if the car does get stolen you can find out where it is and it can be retrieved quickly before its stripped and stuff.

(not talking about your car, just in general)
