Look at picture 6 then look at the last picture. were these pictures taken by the same person or persons that vandalized the Car?

 

Looks like its got an idle issue .

Are you asking because they have the same "date stamp" on the pictures?

 

Wow I did not even notice that! where did this happen, i wonder if the Cops have these pictures. These should be sent to Worlds dumbest crimminals.

I wasn't suggesting that the crooks took the pictures. I was just trying to understand why you made this thread.

I am pretty sure that the dealer took both sets of pictures (before and after). I don't think a crook would take pictures. But, I don't know why the camera shows the same date for both sets. I remember this story, and the parts were all stolen overnight, so I don't know how there could be pictures of the car fine, and then all jacked up, both on the same day. Maybe the dealer never set up the date on their camera. IDK

Come on man....use your head.

They are two different sets of pictures taken at two different times. The first 11 pictures were taken at one time when the car was delivered....and the remaining were taken after the vandalism occured. Probably the next day. Most likely two different cameras were used unless they just disabled the date stamp on the first set. The first 11 pictures have no date stamp on them. The rest of them do.

November 8, 2007 fell on a THURSDAY. Nobody's gonna pull off that extensive of a theft job and rob a dealership new vehicle storage lot when they are OPEN FOR BUSINESS in BROAD DAYLIGHT.

If you're a crook looking to do such an elaborate theft job as this one.....you're not gonna sit around and take the time to take PHOTOS of all the parts you just stole. Especially one that shows an image reflection through the vehicle paint on the spoiler. A smart thief gets in and gets out. That's it.

Sadly there are criminals retarded enough to do something like that.....but this is not one of those cases. Looks like the guy in the spoiler reflection is a tech for the dealership judging by the jacket he's wearing with the white patch on it.

I mean do any dealerships have camera systems cuz my dealership when they had the mugen si sitting in the showroom for 3-4 months and didn't move it was sitting outside i think ppl messed with it as well, just seems stupid to have that car not locked up in the building at night.

 

REPOST

 

wow even with the keyed lug nuts they still stole the rims... holy hell... well if theres a will, theres a way and thats all i gotta say

 

Nothing special about the lugs... wheel locks arent added to PDI or later. They are pretty much the same lugs just like a charcoal color
