Default ATTN: CHICAGO AREA! STOLEN EM1!

Hey guys,

So this horrible day has finally come, and I became a victim of the notorious honda theft. I really didn't want this to happen and I tried my best to prevent it, but these low life's got the best of me.

Here is a quick run down of my story: my parents live in the burbs, but i live in chicago (I go to UIC), and I work in the suburbs as well, so I have to bring a car with me. I used my beater for a while, but it was showing it's age and things were breaking left and right, and with lack of extra finances I had to bring my em1 to the city.

Info on the car: 2000 Milano Red Civic Si with the following mods that stand out: USDM ITR seats, Koni/GC suspension, and Apexi WS2 exhaust. I took the front lip and the spoiler off, and the car was sitting on steelies. It had a two way alarm with motion detector, "The Club" on the steering wheel, and a few cutoff switches installed, so it had to have been a tow truck job. It was parked near on the street near the intersection of Harrison and loomis, and I narrowed down the time of theft to be between 12am and 3 am today.

If anybody sees the car or any of the parts surfacing around, please let me know or call the police. You can pm me or call me at 224-623-7529, my name is Adam.

I doubt i'll see it in one piece again, but i'll keep my hopes up.

Here is a link to my for sale thread (how ironic, huh?) where you can see some pictures:

http://hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?t=2971936

Again, the car looked exactly the same as the pictures, except it had no front lip, no spoiler, and steelies instead of the wheels.

Thanks for looking, and any info would be greatly appreciated.
