Default My stolen car was found.

Here is my original thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1218588

But, I got a call today, saying my car was found. The police tell me nothing, only that it is not driveable. Then, they use their towing company, not the one I specifically told them to use. Now I have to pay their ridiculous impound fees. :banghead: The car was found at 1840 West 340 North, in SLC for the lcoal people.

Here are some pictures:







I feel I am VERY lucky, they did not take more. The other blue Si in the impound yard, was stripped clean. They took my Skunk2 Strut bar, AEM CAI, NOS brand nitrous kit, and my valve cover. They also took my brand new sunglasses, and my daughters car seat. *******. They also hit something, and fucked the bumper, headlight, hood, and fender up. The interior is dirty, and trashed. They keyed my roof, and my hood. The hood has, "have a nice day" keyed in it. ******* will get their *** handed to them if I ever find them. I will have no problem knocking the **** out of the bitch either. They drove the car without the valve cover, as there is oil all over the engine bay. But, the oil level still reads on the dipstick, so hopefully no damage was done to the engine. I will be towing it home tomorrow, and going over it very carefully, to find stuff that is wrong. Oh, and of course, the ignition lock and switch are busted up. It looks like they popped the steering column plastic apart, and used something big to bust the ignition lock.

might not be car theives, otherwise the only thing you would've got back is the chassis on bricks... you **** anybody off lately? especially somebody with an si. think about it... i would've at least taken your wheels.

Joyriders, punks, stoners. They looked like white trash stoners from the videos. In fact, the area of town I went driving around, was the "white trash" ghetto. I was only off by about a mile. I thought about if anyone wanted to get back at me for anything. I changed my mind on that, since they tried stealing two other cars before mine.
