Arrow Guys tryna steal my FC in brooklyn

Heres the story:

I was out sunday working on my fc in the street. Two white guys in their 30's stopped ina white explorer and complimented me on it. FINE. Then 45 minute slater they passed by again with a total of 5 people in the car. It bothered me. Later that night I was out when ym sister calls me and tells me her and her friend saw a white jeep full of white guys slowing down to look at my car twice in the same hour, the second time they got grilled by some guys outside and sped off.

Then yesterday my mother comes home from work on her lunch hour and sees the white explorer sitting outside 2 houses down with 3 guys inside it and 2 standing next to it. Same description I gave her, white guys in their 30's stocky but not fat, ect... She got their plate number. The 2 guys got in and left as soon as she walked up to the house.

So now im really convinced theyre after my car. I reinstalled my cctv and have it watching the car and the surrounding area. I also have half the block on lookout for these guys. If anyone here knows anything about it or has encountered a similar group before dont hesitate to let me know. I wont even bother with the cops, they wont do a damn thing till something actually happens. I know from experience.

WOW, that sucks man, Good Luck! Keep your shotgun close at all times People like that are what makes living in todays world so difficult for honest people. If you ever see them outside sitting, you could contact the police and have them ask the guys in the explorer what their business is in that area. Scare them away maybe? Worth a shot, better than having your car stolen!

I know it's probably not possible for you, but whereever I rent/lease I always make sure there is a closed garage that I can park my car in and lock it in there. It's bullshit that people that have cars that look even a little not stock have to do this, but I refuse to have my car stolen so I take every precaution I can to make sure it doesn't happen. *knock on wood*

yo WHATS up 1reven7, u came over from NOPISTONS lol.

YO tommy i know how it feels. I actually had a guy come into my yard and all and i let them get close enough to my car where i would have the best chance of catching em. I ran out with a knife but the lil ************ could run and i had chancletas (sandals) so i couldnt make it.

Good thing i go to sleep late lol

I got spring break so lets see if we can get that garage in LI empty so we can get ure car over there for now so u can put ure New 7 in the garage in BK

Did u put the tranny in yet?

the FC community in NYC aint that big, so these ******* must know someone that has one. I do recommend parking the car in a garage for a while, try to take pics of these ******* and post them. also, pull the fuel plug thats on the gas pedal and main ecu.

Damn man, that sucks but i know the feeling. I had incidents like that in the past. Back then (i dont do it now), when i want to use the FD, i have to move the car thats blocking it cause thats my defense on theft for overnight since i dont have a garage. In the morning when i go to work, i take out the car, and double park it on the street. I then take my car and take it out and double park it on the street too like a house away from mine and i would leave the car running (like an idiot) but its like 7am in the morning, anything can happen. Anyway nothing has ever happened but all it takes for me is 10 seconds and my car is gone cause since i leave the car running, when i go into the other car to bring it back in the driveway, someone can run to my car and take off. I dont do that anymore.

But what i would do is call the cops saying you "suspect" unusual activity that is going on on your block (dont say concerning you) and give the description of the white explorer with the plate. I bet you anything traces lead to some **** that they will get locked up for. Hell, i bet that explorer is stolen.

I say move on them now, dont wait for anything.

I just came home and saw a cop outside (directly infront of my house) giving someone a ticket. I stopped and talked to the officer who was sitting in the car. He told me to call the cops the next time i saw the explorer and report a suspicious vehicle. I figure even if they dont get busted for doing anythign they will know theyre being watched.

LMAO the funny part about the shoepolish is that I already wrote a threatening message in the dust on the window. "theifs will be shot, survivors will be shot again" But sadly you cant see it at night

If it was around here there would already be a shot strait up in the air. But seeing how you in the city thats probabl not possible.

bklynRX7 I had a similar situation with my vert and some latino honda kids.

Anyways the only thing that saved me from them getting my car is that I always unplug the white main harness under the ignition. This kills the car and it cannot be started. They did however find my fuel kill switch. Another option would be disconnect the ecu and take it into the house. I would do all three in your case

deffinatly take other steps but its a must to have a fuel kill on your car somewhere. The wierder the place the better. Make sure its in a place where nobody would suspect but where it isnt obvious when you are using the swtich to outside viewers.

Dude that sucks. My fuel cut switch is removable. Hit up home depot, get some of those home alarm system window switch things, the magnets. Have one screwed somewhere in the car, and the other one has to be within like 3" of it for the circuit to close. Whenever I'm in a bad area I just take half the switch (the magnet) with me.

Hope it works out.

Damn man, sorry to hear about your car being harassed.
