Default They got me......

Well we have had a lot of snow in the last week here in the NW and unfortunately I was out in it in my S2000 when it hit. I ended up having to park about 2 blocks from my house and walk home (I live up a large hill). Every day for the last week I have gone to check on my car and every day it was fine, until today.

I went down to dig it out at around noon and it started raining on me so I went home for a while came back at 8pm and realized I still wasn't going to be able to get out from the snow wall that the plows had built around it. So I went to the shop to pick up a tow strap and got some dinner. Arriving back at the car at 11:30PM I knew something was wrong because my dome light was on....as soon as I get out I can see that my seats are gone and when I get close I realize that nearly the whole interior is gone. They stole the steering wheel, stereo, stereo door, gauge cluster, gauge cluster housing, shift ****, seats, center console, 1 door sill, and it looks like they just cut the wire harness on everything instead of unplugging it.

I am really angry right now, both at myself for leaving the car there and at the rat bastard thieves that can't leave other peoples property alone.

Well if anyone is in the PacNW, help me keep an eye out for these items if you don't mind. I know they will show up at some point.

I would LOVE to catch the people responsible for this. I hope insurance takes care of it....Allstate has treated me pretty well in the past.

Interior was black....unfortunately not a uncommon color like blue or something like that. I am going to be scoping Craigslist and Ebay and hopefully something odd comes along.

so someone is going to sport an S2K cluster and other components in a civic?!? Great...!

sorry to hear about that man! i just had my EH2 swiped and stripped.

unfortuneately the theives will need the plugs to splice it into whatever model honda. sounds like your interior harness will have to be replaced, i doubt a honda dealership will splice new plugs.

Good luck...I heard that the Pacific NW was becoming as bad as South Florida as far as seat thefts go.

Hopefully, your insurance won't total the car.

You know honestly the car is so F'ed up right now I almost wouldn't mind if they did. Then at least I could start fresh with a new one.

With everything you described that's missing, and the harness being cut... It will probably be totaled.

I am kind of assuming it will be with the amount of damage. I went to the body shop and before they even got to the seats or any of the wiring damage the estimate was nearing $9000. That is with all new parts though.....I'm not sure what Allstate does as far as sourcing parts goes.

On a positive note the insurance adjuster gave me a window of time they will come and write their estimate and it's only a week (from today to next Tuesday). So that's nice, at least I will have a answer within a week.

So the estimate from insurance was over $13,000 in damage so it looks like she is getting totaled out. Kind of a relief really.....going to inquire about a buy back on Monday. I will keep everyone posted with information.
