Well chances are if the lojack was still operating, the car won't be that picked over. Glad they found it though!

That's actually pretty smart, you could hide it as a sensor on the block or something

I'm glad they found the car.

It does sound as if he's a little too attached to his car though.

To a lot of young people, an ITR and the work done to it is the most important single accomplishment and possession in their lives, and the friends they've made in furthering the project could be the most important people in their lives.

This makes the theft of an ITR a bigger deal, emotionally, than it would otherwise be.

I understand that, and yet maybe some of us need to realize that it's only a material possession. Sure, you should value the relationships you have with others who have similar interests as you, but never forget that an ITR is only a car.

In the event of theft, it would be the principle of the theft that bothers me, not so much the car itself. Well, I'd also be annoyed by the fact that I'd have to deal with my insurance company.

Seriously. I am trying to build my confidence on myself. Not my car or other possesions. Rather some permenant possession such as knowledge, skills...etc.

If my R ever part with me and I don't get to play with cars anymore. I will feel truely empty and meaningless in life.

Well, me being young maybe I don't have the same outlooks you guys do, but for me, the car is the single most expensive thing i own, so of course i'd want to take care of it

Well, I'm not so young, and my car is still the most expensive thing I own


But what was mentioned about developing friendships and relationships based on these cars is true - I've met a great group of people just by having a Type R and interacting with people on this board. And now even though my R has been sold, they're still around. Good stuff, that.

You heat the nail on the head...
ITR=important....
Friendships Developed from ITR=priceless.

Truthfully, i know there are people out there that do this kinda chit. Whoever stole that R should be shot. Anyone who does that kinda **** should be shot. I say this because i love my R and i know how much the other R owners out there feel.
I think every R owner out there should copy down all the numbers on their cars ( IE Vin, block numbers and stuff). I myself put a special mark on some place on my block and head so identify my motor even if the numbers get sanded off. I know it doesn't help but if i see my motor in anyone elses car, they're going to die. Hope she's alright.

Who hates seein **** like this go down cause stupid broke *** idiots can't buy their **** legit and make their cars fast. They gotta use other peoples parts. Broke and cheap *** ****. Touch my R and i will personally kill the person that stole it and their family so they can share the same fate.

Ok guys, phew, another good turn out. Although the damage is unknown.

Here is Jose's reply and followup:

they found my car last night in newark, thank god for LOJACK........it was stole from union city NJ and they recovered it in Newark, figures, whoever stole it, reallt wanted
it......it was behind 2 steel gates in a garage....broke both gates, rolled it out, and towed the ******* thing away, no im here biting my nails, till 9am cause i havent slept,
to go to the towing place to see the damages, and if the insurance company is going to fic it, or say its total loss, which i dont want........in all honestly i have about 9000
dollars in motor work.......all im hoping is that they didnt steal the motor tranny or head.........ill keep you guys posted, and im getting some pics of it, today when i go to
the yard............thanks for the support

Actions speak louder than words.

Do you really think you'd do what you claim you would?

Would you throw your life away over the theft of a car?
