Default Thieves break into my car and it's totaled

Well, I left my car on the highway last week because two of the lugs decided to break off. I get back and saw that it had been broken into. They took my socketed P13 (didn't find the Spoon and KSROM chip in the back seat ) my dizzy, spark plug wires, cruise control, and my stock intake. Well apparently the entire stock intake assembly is quite costly coming from honda so that coupled with the ECU pretty much totaled it all out. I have given up (they also have my spare alarm remote) and I'm letting the EK H22 go. Whoever finds this in a junkyard/salvage yard will be a very happy person.

You should buy it buy and sell the parts off.

At least send me the head

I have a stock intake if you want to buy it back and fix it.

The thing is, I don't want to get it back and have the thieves tow it away while I'm trying to part it out. They know where I live and have my alarm remote. The adjuster told me they would be here tomorrow to tow it away. I took what I could. (rims, AEM FPR, AEM Fuel rail and the fuel pressure gauge)

Honestly, leaving it on the highway is what did it. Think of all the people that pass by it and see it.

What is your next car? You leaving the performance scene?

Yep, I'm totally done. I'll probably get a hatchback and take advantage of the good gas mileage. It's about time I grew out of this. Marriage and family kind of does that to you.
