Default sideskirt stolen on christmas

I live in Arizona now and I came home to Washington for the holidays. I left my Type R here to finish it once I finish school. I've been away for 5 months now. Had a great Christmas with my family. so anyways, Christmas night I was going to hang out with my old friends who I haven't seen in a long time. we met at a local Fred Meyers, where I have left my car numerous times. I have always felt safe leaving my car in certain spots in my hometown, this being one of them. I met my friends and my friends left there lexus and mercedes there with my car and we took my other friends vehicle to grab food. we were gone for about 5 minutes. when we got back, my passanger sideskirt was gone. its depressing that the first time i have drove my car in 5 months, that had to happen. I guess a lot has changed in my town since i was last here.

Well I hope everyone had a good time for the holidays! and got a bunch of precious car parts.
happy holidays!

I'll see your stolen side skirt and raise you a set of mint srd's on vision rails, a sk2 shift ****, and spoon horn button jacked on the 20th.

Idiots couldnt even figure out how to remove the steering wheel,... and it was on a quick release lol.

Why did you go back to your car within 5 minutes of leaving it?

Sorry to hear about the sideskirt theft. Try to put a positive spin on it and use it as a learning experience perhaps.

A friend in Olympia had his entire stock ITR stolen a few years ago (he posted pics on here). Later the car was recovered stripped, cut into pieces and left down I-5.

I don't EVER let my Civic out of my sight in this area even. I'd do the same if I had an ITR. They're fun cars, but you need to have a daily driver so you can even go grocery shopping.

Here's my friend's old car after they recovered it. I couldn't find the thread.

Stupid thieves...makes me wanna go James bond style and booby trap my car to assplode in their face if they touch it. I get a *free* $15k from insurance for a new R plus one or more thieves will be rotting in hell. Even better if it doesn't kill them and instead maims them in the most inhumane way possible.





Yes.
