You guys wanna see where it was stolen from? There was no one around, there is no one around...This is a needle in a hay stack...

The yellow dot is where it was parked in the gravel lot.

I dont know how long that will stay up cause its Angel Fire, but you can try.

Unless they pass by there often they probably thought it was abandonned. I've seen a few cars abandonned around here, even in places that *aren't* the middle of bumfuck nowhere. Of course, I was curious, so I came back to "visit" these cars a few nights in a row until they were towed or stolen or whatever. One had a smashed windshield that held together, but was obviously hit with a baseball hat, and under the wipers were a handful of tickets from the Aylmer Police, probably for parking in that lot overnight so many times.. buggers. Car didn't have plates either.

But less than a day later? I mean seriously.... the nerve of some people.

Yeah, I have my fears it will end up like Blairs car that was stolen in Kirkland, about 20 mins from my house, and 40 minutes from where mine was stolen...

Wholy crap man...

They took EVERYTHING.... Or did they actually leave a few bits in and he took them off for salvage before taking the pics? Jeezus H Christ... Fusible link box, sub-zero resivoir, charcoal canister... things that wouldn't bring any money at all really, and they're gone...

Geez... Suspension, Tranny, Engine... this took more than one person for sure, and a garage to do it in... you need a lift to do that. Find out where it was dumped from rx7Passion where it was dumped and have the cops stake out the spot.... not exaclty the part of the chain you want to retrieve your car at, but at least you can catch the *******, if it's the same guys..

Start checking any local garages that even *remotely* know how to service these kinds of cars. Any import shops... It would take a lift to be able to do that much to the underneath... or a month of one guy in his garage, but that'd get suspicious to his wife dontcha think?

DAMN! It seems that everyone is having bad luck with RX7's. This really sucks TJ. I'm sorry and I hope you get her back. I can't even begin to imagine what I would do and how I would feel if someone stole my 7.

i know how it feels. my rx7 was broken into at my job at best buy and my stereo stolen (went in through the passenger side lock)

then 2 weeks later, the car was gone when i walked out of the store after working 12 hours on a saturday and just having bought a new stereo....

i got it back the next day though, it was found in newark.



sorry man, but i know exactly how you feel, and its worse than most everything thats ever happened to me, aside from my heart bieng broken (but this is damn close, but in a different way slightly)

Yeah, in hine sight, the friend that picked me up was in a Jeep 4x4 and very well couldve just towed me home if we had a chain. I know its "illegal and dangerous", but it wouldve been better than getting it ******* stolen...

I really missed my car today...I know this might sound lame, but its kinda like a death in the family. You still think about the person everyday, and expect them to be there, but theyre not, and they wont ever be again...

Well, I just got home, its 12:24 here. Its not late compared to some nights...

I know that I shouldnt loose hope, and I kinda try to live this from one day to the next, but today, I looked at the calender and realized, "Its been gone over 4 days...". That just makes me think that there isnt much left to look for...But I struggle to hold on to the shread of hope that I have that Ill find it sitting in some guys garage...

Right now, I honestly wouldnt care if they stripped it and had all the parts laying around, just as long as I got the car all back. One piece isnt even a requirement anymore, Im shooting for a "U Build It" kinda thing now...

Hell, maybe Ill get lucky and they will have pulled the engine for me so I dont have to do it to rebuilt it, lol.

Maybe you'll find it and they'll have the VIN numbers swapped and it'll have a 13B with a blowthrough turbo setup. You'll get the car back and they'll go to jail.

Hehe, yeah. That would be like my cousins friend down in Portland. He got his T2 jacked, and the thieves actually put **** INTO the car when they had it. It ended up with a new stereo, speakers, amps, subs, BOV, some other misc stuff, etc. Anyway, the cops found it cause the dumbfucks were driving it. Turns out, since none of the other (obviously stolen) stuff was claimed, he got to keep it all, lol.

Wouldn't it be cool if this was some underground Rx-7 Club plot to steal TJ's car and give him a fresh BP engine while he wasn't looking??

Here's hoping. Sorry to hear about that man, I hope you find her.
