My car on blocks?!!!

well everyone
i woke up this morning to find my car sitting on cinder blocks with no wheels and my suspension gone.
thief had no idea what they were doing.
tried unbolting almost every single link on the rear end before he found the right bolt to pull off.
did a little research around the neighborhood and was informed that a green fc was spotted going up and down the hill all night long.
this green fc belongs to some idiot named thomas konkle. dude lives in the puyallup area.
i drove out to his house did one drive by and noticed his car was sitting extremely low.
so i pull in the driveway get out look under the car and sure enough my silkroad coilovers are installed on his car
longstory short i got buck with the kid and got my stuff back
rx7 community beware!
lock your cars up tight!

Keep an eye out. He might come back. Did you report it? I'm glad you got your stuff. back. I live in a small town with no people and I'm still scared to leave my baby anywhere. Some people just have no respect.

i did call the cops.
they refused to do anything even after i told them i had eye witnesses of this tom kid loitering near my car at odd hours of the night.
thats police for you. they will write you an exhaust ticket in the blink of an eye but actually do their job?? never.
i was away from the car for a full 24 hours so thats why he was able to get them installed on his car jack. kid was stuuuupid. it took him 2 hours according to neighbors who heard his car
it took him an hour and a half to pull them off his car with me standing there watching.

this is one of the reasons we're keeping my cousins TII at the same height it is now....and all the local rotor heads here seem to look out for one another since its a small town. Anyhoo

Glad you got your stuff back, I have no idea how you kept your cool and refrained from rearranging his face, I know I would go apeshit!

i gave him the option of an asswhooping from hell and me going through with the police report or he could let me take his carbon hood.
id rather not have him file assault charges like i knew the little punk would have.
hahahaha this guy was literally a foot and a half taller than me and was squirmy as all hell when i started tossin him around his own garage

Wouldn't be surprised if he calls the police and said you stole his hood and COs. Next time instead of calling the cops and saying someone stole your stuff just say, there is about to be a need for an ambulance at this address if cops don't show up soon.

Glad it turned out well though. Get your butt on the track son before people steal the rest of your stuff!

So this guy obiviously had to pop the hood and the rear hatch to pull the top side of the coil overs out, right, no air tools just wrenching away at night. No one saw a thing, crazy. Crazy yet you figured out who did it. I think I would just stole them back the following night, and used the same cinder blocks he used on your car, mind games. lol

Awesome. Wish I could have seen that going down with cell cam going. Grats on getting it all back, and props to the people who bothered to give you info on what they saw instead of not getting involved.

If I had been in town you know I would have been there with you. I don't let people do this **** to my friends. People work to hard for their stuff to have some scum take it. I probably would have given the cinder blocks back in a not so nice way. As in he wouldn't have any glass left in his car. I'm sure he learned a lesson on messin with the little guy. lol.
