For the very first time ever I felt so angry and heartbroken that I want to kill the person (F^%*%$ thief) who stole my baby. This is the event of that whole day, I left work at 1 AM with my boy and went to his house and I parked the car across the street. I properly locked my car up with autolock pro on my gas pedal and alphalock my back rear driverside wheel with the lock side faceing inward and then that alarm lock itself. So that was 1 something AM and we hang out on the step of the house to 3am and that was the last time i saw my car parked up. So we went in the house and hit the sheet. At 10am i was up and getting ready to go to my house. So my boy and I stepped outside and look across the street and disbelieve our eyes that where i parked the itr lastnight wasn`t there. So i thought it was a prank or something from my boy, so i asked him and he said, "why would I do something like that".....after he said that it hitted me hard that this is not a prank. So i ran across the street disregarding the traffic to where i parked my itr at and found one oem lug lock and one regular lug on the ground.....at this moment i definitly know for sure my baby is stolen.....so i called the police and reported my car was stolen and then i called my XYZ GPS to find n locate the car and try to disable the car. After that i got active status of the car and the location where the car last moved to. So 20min later the cop came and i gave them the address to the location where the car might be found but the cop was useless b/c the address where the car is at was in another city and they can`t pass the city border. So i was mad as hell that i got the address and they cant do anything about it, but to tell me to call the other city's police and let them know what is going on. So i called the other police dept and told them where the car is and they told me to relax and they will look into that....so i was thinking this is bullshit like it wasnt that important to them.....so i was that f$%^ this the car probably getting stripp right now while we waited for the cop to do their job, so my boy and i decied to go and find the car ourselves. so we went online to get the direction to that address and we head to that place and drove around looking for my baby and i remember that my alarm pager has a 1 mile range, so i was pressing the arm button repeatly until i got a lock status on the lcd screen....suddently a locked signal.....i was so happy that my baby is around somewhere nearby, so we parked and set on foot to find my baby and we walked around this address that we got and it was a public self-service five story parking lot so we searched from up top going down each level and i was pressing the arm button on my alarm pager and the status came back as lock but i dont hear any chirp sound.....so we went down to level 2 and my boy suddently stopped me and told me to press the button again b/c he saw a light signal marker flashing and so i did and he pointed out where it was and we ran to it and discover it was my baby and there was noone inside the car. i was so happy in tears that i found my baby itr....so i called the cop and told them i found my car and later they came and file a recovery report( no thank to them).....i was happy that i found my baby but i was so mad when i saw my whole ignition ripped out, ecu was mess up, gas pedal was saw off, scratches all over the rear driverside rim, alarm siren was cut, and f%^& up my whole rear-end which was pushed inward.....so f*&^%#@ mad!!! So i called the insurance (thank God for full coverage).....got it tow to a body shop(all oem part from japan gotta love my insurance).....AND now im waiting for my baby to get fix up like new again. Thank you for reading the saddest experience that i went through with my baby itr and sorry for any grammer typo.

p.s. to all the itr owner out there, what should i do better to keep this from happening again when i get my baby back from the body shop??? thank you for any advice that you can help me with. (another itr saves from being stripp to the f%$#@^ thief....hate them so much)

Just random separation of your post in paragraphs for others to read.

Glad you recovered your R.

 

Glad to hear you got your car back. Honestly you have have got all your friends and waited for the thieves to come back and pick up the car. Could of laid the biggest *** kickin of your life.

 

GPS to the rescue!! I may need to put one in mine... Did you guys think about waiting in the shadows for the theif to return?

 

wow.dude.
sad story, but at least the outcome was good.

you are one of very few whom get there's back.
so kudos to you for that, glad to hear that you recovered it, hopefully you can nail those guys for jacking the car.

 

WOW

 

did you take any pictures of what was left after the thieves got it? Not a sad atory. Sad is seeing a completely stripped car when you find it.

 

Oh man, I don't know what to say. Im very happy that you got her back. Your story is like one of those "only happen in the movies" type of story, seeing how you did all that searching and actually recovered her. Sheesh, I recommend the bigger and better wheel boot from http://www.mitico.com

I got mines for 450 with shipping. It may not stop a tow truck but it sure as hell will stop them from driving off with the car.

 

wow i'm glad you got here ok with minor damage.

 

holy crap i cant believe you actually were able to find your car .. that's crazy. congrats on getting it back, there are alot of people who arent as lucky as you.

boot it or loose it. if you cant hear the tow truck picking the car up i would suggest another parking situation. your car should always be on your mind all the time you are away from it. some can handle it most can not. its not an end all solution but it lets thiefs know your serious.

will you listen?? ahhh probably not

 

man how lucky you are ....how much did that GPS system cost you?....o BTW, those OEM lock nuts suck...get some after market locks...try getting 3 diff. sets

 

damn that sucks but at least you've got it back.

next time tell them you're headed to the address yourself with a 12 guage in hand. That should get them moving

ditto on this question. congrats on finding it too.

 

 

I would have rounded up everyone I know and waited in parked cars for these ***** to come back and hand them a beat down..

EXACTLY++ you to do something like this to get some law enforcment to even lift a finger. you tell them you're taking matters into your own hands with a gun in each about to go crazy you'll probably have 20 cop cars and thw SWAT team show up LOL

You would be waiting for a good couple days. the thieves obviously left the car there to see if it had a gps or if anybody would come back for it. if the car was still there after a few days then they would of moved the car to there hide out and strip it..

YOU KNOW DAMN RIGHT!

Glad you found it, I bet the thieves were pissed to come out and find no ITR for them to strip.

 

Now all you have to do is check the parking lot CCTV and see who took it...

 

Glad to see that you recovered your car. Waiting it out a couple days to see if anyone would return to the parking garage to move your car would be worth it if you could get the chance to beat some faces in. I know I would've, lol.

 

i guess he can just take his car back and park it at the same spot, wait out for those thiefs........ a gang beat down+video tape =

 

DAMN GPS FTW! thats great you got the car back. if it was me, there would be a huge risk and danger in the back of my mind when going to get the car...who knows what kind of people it wouldve been and what risk to your life it cost to get the car back? but screw that, i wouldve done EXACTLY the same as you and when adrenaline is rushing thru your veins, nothing else matters

 

damn, did they take the alpha lock'd wheel off and put a different wheel on?

Is that why you saw lug nuts on the ground?
