Default Another one bites the dust

In Spartanburg, South Carolina at 11:42 Monday night, my baby was stolen. It was a championship white 98 Integra Type r with a jdm front, carbon fiber hood, and had the hid lights. The funny thing is the clutch went out. So I'm sure it was a struggle for them to get it out. Other than that is was pretty much stock. Please if you have any info let me know. I never would have imagined this would have happened here, in my apartment complex.

Only info I currently have is it was a white 4 door Chevy cavalier. More than one person. And again this is in Spartanburg, SC near USC Upstate college.

Thanks for the kind words. Yea, I'm sure she is long gone by now. The armrest number was 1131 or 1138, can't recall right now. Yea, an apartment complex wasn't the brightest place by any means but this isn't Cali, or so I thought.

Update: Car was found last night in Gastonia, NC.

Apparently, completely stripped with the windows down and of course it had to be a downpour of rain that afternoon/night. I have yet to see it so I'm unsure of the extent of damage but the investigator seems to think there is very little left.

So, my next question is how much is a shell worth and maybe the suspension pieces?

my WAG? 2K-3K for a bare shell with 5 lug suspension depending on what exactly is still there? (which hopefully is STILL there?!?) good luck, you'll find PLENTY of people willing to pick it up from you if you're on the east coast. you wouldn't consider putting it back together? then again, you still live in the same apartment... with no garage. maybe it's time to move on for now.

Yea I feel like I should just move on, which f$#king sucks b/c I loved that damn car. I've had it for 4 to 5 years, put over 100,000 miles on it and had a countless number of good memories in it. Always kinda planned on just keeping it and having it around.

Will let everyone know whats left as soon as I find out. Also, I wanna get pictures up but of course my digi. camera was also in the car.

All i had was an alarm and locked doors which must have been cake for these guys b/c it took them all of 15 minutes.

I'm trying to get some pics b/c apparently someone has some of it on Carolina Hondas. Once I do get them I will need some guidance on how to actually post them up.

Again, just wanna express my gratitude to all, for the support I have received.

Edit- Just seen the pic and it's def. my car. LowLife F'in Thieves

well i only have 2 crappy cell phone pics just for proof of the car being found!
what i saw gone was the whole front end, hood was gone, spoiler, most of the interior, badges, lip kit if it had the type r kit on it, and the rear 5 lug was taken off.

sorry I hear, but I thought it was going to look way worse. if the driveline is all intact I would rebuild it.
