Stolen from Lake Forest.......

Very close friend and I decided to chip in to buy a type R shell and build it into our project. We had all of our investment lined up and ready in his garage. We had near every part from misc bolts all the way to the engine. All we were waiting on was a pair of Recaros and plastic framings. I get off for summer so we were waiting till next weekend to start putting things togather.
Last night someone decided to break into his garage an litterally take every thing including a couple pairs of new shoes and a full box of life water. the only thing left was the shell......Thousands of dollars out the door. We didnt have any insurance yet so I really dont know what to do....My friend was out on a date with his fiance when this all happened somwhere between 7pm-2am.....Please keep an eye out on ebay/craigs.

I have seen, heard and personally know a couple ppl getting their Hondas stolen but not like this..
If anyone has information please call 911 and let us know

EDIT:::: So it turns out that home owners insurance will cover the stolen parts as long as we have the receipts......The thing is that one some of the parts we have no record b/c we bought them off of craigs list. But for things like the engine and all other ordered parts we will get cash back from the insurance company. I just feel bad becasue Lake Forest is a very nice neighborhood. I just cant believe that this can happen around this area...........

Sorry to hear man. That is what thieves usually go for, the stuff in the car, not the car itself.

 

can you trust all those who knew about this "project"? hard to believe this to be some random theft, unless the garage was open all the time for the public's viewing pleasure. if your friend had home owner's insurance and receipts, that might be something to follow. that bites

 

sounds like someone you guys are acquaintance's with might have done it

 

This is crazy man........ Theft in Chicagoland area is out of control...........

F.ck thieves

 

Chicago... AGAIN. I'd say chicago has become a serious danger zone for ITR's.

 

Sounds like an inside job.
A random thief would not know ITR parts were inside the garage unless a huge Neon sign was outside stating it.

That is the TRUTH

 

if everything was in your garage, you should be able to use your home owners insurance, right?

 

WOW, that sucks. 100% sounds like someone you know, or they have been watching you guys for a while. GL man

 

Yeah, sounds like an inside thing to me, I'd look at the people who knew about the stuff...

 

speechless. sorry for the loss. lake forest is not the type of place i would expect something like this to happen.

the neighbors must have seen or heard something unless the house has one of those long drive ways. wish the best of luck in this unfortunate situation.

 

They even took the water!

 

Definetely sounds like an inside job....try to remember who you told.

X2!

 

if all the stuff was stolen from his garage shouldn't it all be covered threw his home owners insurance? i know when mine was stolen my homeowners insurance covered most of the $ that my auto didn't.......

yea, it definately sounds like an inside job. sorry to hear, that really sucks

 

most thefts happen by someone that knows you very well and wouldnt be a suspect.. sorry for your loss

 

def. in inside job i agree....you going to sell the shell by any chance?

And Humans!

 

Sounds like Craig list is more becoming the Thief list.

 

Naw we arnt going to sell the shell. Fortunately my friend has disposable income so when
he gets a check from the insurance we are going to continue our project. We both invested half and half but since it was stolen from his house hes pitching some extra cash.
