early this morning....my alarm went off for about 5 seconds....just enough to wake ma *** out of bed.....looked out the window and what do you know a guy walking around my car and a dood inside and both my doors were open and hood popped up....now thinking in my head WTF????......grabbed my jeans(usually hang it somewhere close by for instances like this) stumbblin while putting them on and ran down stairs....to go outside and started to chase em....but they got into their car...and it was too late for me......now it's up the cops to look for them since i told them the plate number and $h!et.....well it was personnalized plates


and next time i'll be waiting for them with their craw bar that they left in car and use it more "adequately"

I KNOW SOME LOW LIVES SCUM WHO CAN'T EARN THEIR ISH THE RIGHT WAY AND HAS TO MESS WITH OTHER PEOPLES ISH ARE READING THIS, DON'T FORGET SOMEBODY ALWAYS KNOWS SOMEBODY AND YOU WILL BE CAUGHT DA FACKED UP WAY!!!!!!

 

You know you can go to DMV, tell them the licence plate number, and they'll tell you their address.... Cost about $25 I think.

 

Where are you located, hope your not another N.Y. victim. Also a guy on Honda-Acura net just had his R stolen in NYC. You got lucky man, time to get a garage b/c I'm sure they will be back.

 

Do you have a hoodlock and have you disabled the power doorlocks?

 

Sucks.......good luck finding the guys and defending the R. I hope nothing was broken..

 

WTF??????.......i'm in NJ right across the bridge.......

well lucky enough they didn't leave me any souvenirs...like a broken window or any holes.....


JonD...thanks for that info...but i'm sure we'll see each other at the tracks one of these days....somebody always knows somebody and eventually he will get what is right for him.

 

Did they get in the car by prying away the window and hitting the power door lock switch?

If so, disable those switches ASAP!

 

Fort Lee area is very bad for auto theft. As is most of dirty Jersey. But If I were you I wouldn't sleep until my car was indoors.

 

How do you disable the power door locks...or should you just push them inside the door?


Indy

 

i am wondering on that also how do you disable the power door locks..plmk..thanks

 

sorry to hear what happen....I'm glad that they didn't get your car....hopefully you can catch those people...

what's a hood lock?

 

To Disable Lock switch All you have to do it this. use a small flat-edge screw driver and pull back that little tab (size of a dime) that is right behind the door handle. under that is a screw that you need to remove. once that is done, the handle and black plastic ill come off and hang by some wires. Just unclip the white plug that is connected to the silver lock mechanism and re-instal. no need to buy the RS door handles. This way you can always re-install it.

Bastards pryed my window and pulled the lock mechanism on my GSR a few months ago and stole $1300 worth of stuff (insurance didn't do jack). I promptly installed tint/alarm and did the above procedure. Not only that, but I always put my baseball cap over my center console now, covering any stereo equipment that may or may not be there.

As far as hoodlocks. Are there there different types or brands that I should look for? Also who do youall get to install, acura?

thanks

 

Disabling Power door locks here i come!!!.. My 94 accord had the same thing happen. they bent the window back to get to the door lock and it worked without even breaking my window. Those windows can bend far!!


tjtruong

 

you should be able to install it yourself......don't really wanna post up how and where to put it....just because this is a public board you know.......

 

yeah, get acura to install it...

D

 

Is that sarcasm, or are you being serious?

 

i dunno

 

If you disable the power locks you should go get the LS door handle, unless a potential thief KNOWS there is no switch they will stil PRY out the door with something and mess up the roof, door etc. With the LS they don't even see the Easily spotable shiny silver door locks that Honda has been using for what 20 years now?

 

now by unclipping the white wire...isn't that gonna disable even the alarm door locks?......

 

The connector that should be disconnected is the one that plugs directly into the power door lock switch. This does NOT disable the door locks (controlled by alarm and/or key), just the switch itself. Its prolly a good idea to remove the switch itself so the thieves wont even attempt to use it next time. Dont bother trying to get the RS door handles....they are still on back order.....thanks to this forum

 

wtf white wire you talking about? there's a 3 pin terminal that plugs into the back of the door bezel for the power lock switch, GRN/RED, GRN/WHT, and BLK/WHT for the driver side... just unplug the damn terminal.

and no, has no effect on keyless entry.

Yea the RS door handle from the local acura dealer here is on back order till august 8th. I order mine on the july 23rd.
