My buddy's 10th Anni was stolen last night...keep an eye out pls!!!!

He lives in Sylmar (91342)...it happened somewhere between 10 pm and 4 am

Please keep an eye out...its a 10th anni with S5 front bumper, missing front turn signals, side markers, and front fender molding

Still has 10th anni wheels

Also has a rope tied to tow hitch (dunno why)...

There is a butt load of extra parts in boxes in the hatch and had a crappy torn leather black seat (no pass seat)

Engine bay is stripped to bare motor and wiring from our swap so thats an obvious sign.

Here are a few pics

doing the same, it would be nice if there was a way to put out an amber alert type of thing since 7's are getting taken alot. Like some type of live email or txt, that way when it happens, word can get out to more of us faster. Then once WE find them, WE deal with them. These are my security measures that we should take to protect our cars, pager/txt msg alarm, club on the floor pushing against the brake, and one on the clutch. removable steering wheel, with hub lock as well, shifter lock(http://simjack.com:8185/GearShiftLock/GearShiftLock.htm). also check out this guys ebrake lock,(http://crxcommunity.com/viewtopic.ph...e786349089d701) My hope is no has a tow truck, if they do, were S.O.L. but hopefully they dont so while they may brake into our cars, they wont be able to take them.

Ok guys...the car was found yesterday and we are gonna check it out today...I'm pretty sure the motor is gone and maybe other parts but the car is at an impound lot in Pacoima (CA) aka a city known for gangs, violence, and thefts...go figure. They want $400 to reclaim it...maybe not even worth taking it if its been stripped

Sorry bud, that blows. And of course it has to be a 10AE too, not some POS non turbo coupe like mine.

Well at least you found it. Why will it cost $400 to recover the car?

Yea what kind of bull crap is that, telling someone they need to pay to get their stolen car back is as bad as the thief’s that stole the car...

A lot of times its the tow co. themselves.

I know of 2 here in So Cal that actually steal cars just to collect the fees....I suspect that happened to me once with my last FC.

Who steals a heavily modded car with $200 head unit to get it back with absolutely nothing missing and 2 months later???

like insurance companies rely on thieves and burglars to keep their business going
