Default My R was just stolen...

God, I never thought this would happen to me. I'm so pissed off right now I got home last night at 11:30 and went to bed. My roomate woke up at 12:30 and it was gone. Just like that, no broken glass, no alarm, no nothing. Police are a bunch of bastards too, they say that if they run the plate number thay can figure out that it's stolen. WOW. I have the next two days off of work, you better believe that I'm not going to bed until I find my R. PLEASE, anyone in AZ if you see a CW R with a TRP (temp plate) get at me. 480-778-2511, just leave a message if I don't pick up. I'm so ******* pissed...

Man, I am so sorry! I will keep a look out for you.

Anything on the car to make it stand out from other CW Type-R's?

Any idea how they got it? I am worried now. I better watch out.

Flux - I think he's referring to http://www.tirelock.com/ . The weird thing is that the guards at my work actually carry 3-4 of these with them!! They must work pretty descently to stop non-paying parking violators.

Mugen - I hope you can find it asap. Can't believe people just still our hard-earned money + sweat.

yeah, but telling people what they should have done right after teh car was stolen is lacking a little tact if you ask me... but he was probably just trying to be helpful. It has been a long day and I'm a little grumpy.

It looks like H-T members are averaging one stolen ITR per week. That is one per week too many.
Sorry to hear about your loss but it seem this is becoming a prime reason why there are SOOOO many ITR's for sale. I've been sort of looking in the past couple of months or so, the number of ads seems to have tripled with prices getting lower.

That sucks man. I don't think I've seen but about 2 other CW R's in Phoenix so it should stand out if they're running around in it. Unfortunetly it will probably be found stripped in the desert if it was a pro job. That's pretty wierd because on Saturday I had my garage open all day while doing work around the house, the R and my GS-R race car were in there with hoods and hatches open. My wife goes out to our storage room and comes running back because some dude was in the garage. I go check it out and nobody was there. Now this might seem normal with the garage wide open, but I live on a quiet street with a big mesquite tree that shades the drive with Land Rover and BMW parked behind the Tegs. So it's not like you just drive down the road and see the cars, you would have to be looking. Just a heads up for Phoenix, we're under attack! Good luck Mugen, I hope they find her in 1 piece.

Sorry about your car
Check all the body shops, garages etc in the bad parts of town, you never know you might find it. Just remember to keep your cool if you do and call the cops.
Good Luck

I'll keep an eye out down south. I NEVER miss a CW ITR.

And nobody come after me, I bought mine fair and square

Sorry about your R Mugen.

I guess if you want to keep your ITR, better disguise it. Take off your wing and paint it silver. Now that is one motherfucking fast LS! Oh...and if they ask you about the moonroof, um...I don't know hehehe.


Sorry to hear that Mugen. Hope you find it Fucken bastards!

They came in my ******* garage to get the car... Imagine! How the hell should I protect my goods, if even in my home their are not safe....

That really sux d00d!!! This is getting way out of hand. At the current rate that the R's are being stolen, there will be about a dozen left at this time next year. Hope j00 find j00r R d00d.
