AB Please help! Stolen FC

Hey guys I'd like to have your guys' help in finding a stolen RX7...

Info:

1986 Rx7 GXL, Red in Color.
VIN : JM1FC3318G0129850
Licence Plate #: NBY-340

Car was stolen from outside RX7 Specialties in the SW late last night between 10:30 and 11:00 PM on the 24th. Car was driven by a lady and dropped off at the shop for clutch work, theres a possibility the car was dumped somewhere in the area because it was semi-undrivable.

Thanks for the help guys!

Ouch! I bet Adam was shocked! I remember towing mine after the engine pull while it was waiting for a rebuild on Adams suggestion. Always wondered if somebody might help themselves to something off one of his parts cars, but not "a whole car".

Get Adam to install a fuel cut switch for you while they're doing the clutch.

Talking I found her!!!!

Sorry it took so long for me to update this.
I set out with a friend lastnight to check a few locations and drop by the shop in my search for the car. We were on 6th Ave and discussed going down to 17th Ave via 14th St or 11th St. We decided on 11th and headed on our way. Around 12th Ave I saw the distinct orangy-red colour ahead parked on the other side of the road and in between traffic I was sure I saw the shape. When traffic broke, we knew it was an RX7 and as we got close enough to see the rims, we knew it was mine. The licence plate was still on it and no damage was done to the body. It seems the reason I took it to the shop stopped them from going too crazy with it.

thank you all for the eyes and the comments
I appreciate the sense of community here. If you see me in the streets, give me a wave.


I am the happiest girl in the world!!!!

Just get Adam at Rx7specialties to install a "concealed" fuel cut switch while getting the clutch done. Way cheaper than an alarm and when it dies it'll just get abandoned.

I'm seconding the hidden fuel cutoff switch. It's cheap and ridiculously effective.

I already have a fuel cuttoff switch but I was thinking of asking him to move it to a concealed area.

thanks for the input guys

Whoever steals a 7 better have gas money on them for the getaway.

Glad to see you got it back.
