CAR HAS BEEN LOCATED AND COMPLETELY STRIPPED.

If interested in updates please see the last page of the thread. THANK YOU!
__________________________________________________ __________________
I received a call from Jess this morning saying the GSR wasn't where she parked it last night. It appears the Geezer has been boosted again. Gosh i love hondas.

We moved from our old residence just 1 month ago in hopes to avoid this ****, i guess it didn't help. The car was parked directly outside an extremely well light hotel which i live directly across the street from.

This is twice the car has been taken from about 20 yards of where we sleep. Last week i noticed hand prints across my hood from what i think may have been the thieves testing it for an alarm. The car had enough dust on the hood that the angle in which i sit on the car made it fairly noticeable from the drivers seat. To be honest, i haven't thought about that again until this morning.

To make matters worse i am out of town on business. Jess is stranded with no car. Her co-workers are assisting her after she is done with the police.

I'd like to say i am pissed, but that really isn't the feeling i have right now. Its odd really, that someone wasn't happy enough with what they got the first time around. I guess i should look at the positives, and that i we don't have children and that we can afford another vehicle once the insurance company compensates us.

Well... thanks for reading. I hope this doesn't prompt me to do something i have contemplated for too long now. I love the R, i love this community, but the fact of the matter is that owning the car isn't realistic anymore at this point in my life. I am hanging on to a vehicle that gets tracked about once a year if i am lucky. I am not saying i am bailing, but there is going to have to be a lot justified to keep the damn thing.

Growing up sucks... thieves suck....this morning has sucked!

Damn, Jon. Really sorry to hear, bud. I really wish there were stiffer penalties for thieves (of all kinds) in this country.

Hey, I know a TSX you can have. Only $329 a month. May owe about a grand on it when the lease is over next Summer.

Damn Jon... sorry to hear man. At least the R is stored somewhere else and you shouldn't have to worry about it. Thieves do suck, but until stiffer penalties are put in place they will continue to do what they do.

Hope they recover it. If you need anything from me, just say the word.

Sorry to hear Jon . Sounds like the timing couldn't have been worse . Keep the R and buy a different car to replace the Gzzr. I hear MINI's are really nice .

<----who thinks Jon should make a trip up to the Pacific Northwest and kick it

I am damn sorry to hear they ganked el geezer again Jon. Your thoughts above are why I didn't buy meats R after mine got liberated.

Get an Evo for Jess, I've left the keys in the Tank for months hoping to get another ARRHH and nobody wants to steal that POS.

I don't have the best internet connection right now, but thanks for the replies guys. It really does make me feel better. I am a long ways from home right now and can't do squat but think about this.


Tran.... i thought of our conversation Sat night also. Ironic eh?

Rob.... when you bring it back, can you have that bitch detailed at least this time. You did a shitty job last time it was recovered.

Opie... i will be rolling back over the Tappanzee sometime Friday. I will hit you up to see where you are. Maybe we can grab a
