Default ITR-585 attempted stealing!!!

Well folks it finally happened to me!! Some low life asshats tried to take my pride and joy. What they did get away with was my Recaro's and my Eclipse head unit. What ***** to try and steal a car in someone's driveway. Please don't flame for car not being in the garage, my garage is the bermuda triangle. So all people keep your eyes peeled for two black JDM Recaros and an Eclipse 8455 cd player.

Did you interupt them or did you discover it after the fact?

Just be glad you still have your R. Still sucks, though.

And clean out your garage!

I noticed after the fact. I wish I had caught them. I'd probably be in jail myself!!! I happened to be going to the market last night, I looked in to check on my baby and I didn't see the familiar outline of my Recaro's. My heart and stomach both sunk. Then to see the ignition all broken and torn apart. A tear came to my eyes. I almost lost her.

Haven't posted awhile, but you gave me the link ITR-585

Happy New Year! Congrats to your human baby

Sad about them ganking your seats in your other baby though Keep it safe! mount cameras outside your place or even use that first alert gate thing to alert you if they trigger it

ITR owners are very protective fathers arn't they (talking about his new baby)? Just a thought.

Sorry about your car man.

The more work and money I spend on my car... the more I fear this. Sad thing is, my best bang for the buck with insurance was to leave the car the way I bought it : (

Shouldnt the eclipse CD player have a tracking device in it? I almost bought a Eclipse CD player for that exact reason. Call Eclipse if you have the Serial number and get them to track it.

Eclipse probably has a code you need to put in order to use the head unit, similiar to the Acura OEM CD/Radios. That Recaro kid seat in the front of that convertible. Is that okay for kids? I thought kids are only supposed to sit in the back of cars. I guess if you have a pickup it's kinda the same thing. Better to put them in back I assume?

Sorry for your loss but be glad they didn't take your car. What nerve to do that in your driveway, be very careful. Thieves are scum, they tried to jack my car at 1:00 in the afternoon with people around the premises. This is why I don't want to drive my car anymore and I'm so paronoid. There are times when I just want to sell my car. Congratulations on your new baby
