rx7 thefts??? mines next?!?!
 
so i get home and my uncle tells me today at lunch time there was someone staring at my rx7 for the longest time, scoping everything out, and when he asked wtf the guys asked if it was for sale... wtf this is got to be the 30th time my family has seen someone "suspiciously" checking out my car... i mean, i dont mind people looking, but they seem to be looking with some kind of intent...

whats with all the goddam rotary thefts lately... thats all i hear about now! makes me paranoid to park it in my own driveway, i would put it in the garage, but theres already one in there and another one in the driveway... and i drive my DD everywhere...

sorry, just had to vent somewhere...

hope nothing happens to it dude. keep a good eye on your car.

I was thinking the same thing. Seems to be open season for rotary theives. But we know parts are harder to find as time goes on, thats just making a black market for them. I'm putting a gps tracker on mine, then I can follow the fuckers and get my 7 back plus whatever else the foos got in their garage as an inconvenience fee. But just as a note, if anyone steals chinkst3r's 7, I call first dibbs.;) ;)

dude, take your EGI fuse out, and take precautions ASAP.

chinkst3r 01-09-08 12:21 AM

thats fucked up leon! lol but i try to keep a close eye on it... but sht is rediculous, i cant watch it 24.7 and it can only be parked outside... mayb i need a gated driveway and let my german sheperd protect it... but the goddam city wont let!

thanks for the words finishline!

its already got full alarm system, with hood, hatch and door sensors... haha even if the EGI's in, i dont think they can started without knowing a lil bit bout Rx7's cause its low comp! ... not an easy start!!!:naughty: but im still worried they not neccessarily aiming for the car as a whole...

jk man, but its true, u know how I have to start my 7 every 30-45 minutes at the meets. Thats so it doesn't take me 15 minutes to warm the car up when I do leave. Plus having a 27 yo 7 with a faulty choke, aint' no way someone other than me gonna start that car and drive it within 30 minutes. I tried to leave in a hurry before, and no way, that original Nikki don't work till she's warm and ready, lol.

chinkst3r 01-09-08 12:48 AM

LOL good stuff... i guess some rx7's are theft proof naturally! lol... knock on wood...

MaczPayne 01-09-08 03:19 AM

Hidden switches ftw :icon_tup:

I gotta electronic kill on my ignition with my security system. unless you got the remote to unlock and activate that bitch, your goin nowhere. And if they try to think of jackin it when I remote start it and let it warm up, heh good luck. The bitch dies when you put it into gear without the keys. My cars goin nowhere !! I hope your ride dont get jacked though. I love my car so I know how you feel bout yours, and someone would have to die...... a horrible and slow death....

Bondo a fake ignition switch next to the real one, put a camera inside, and watch the fun ! :D

Seriously though, one of there http://www.provantage.com/TDWR01E.GIF ouside the garage, and running on motion recording, you have proof, and since it doesn't have sound it's legal in court as proof. Wireless and records to your Hard Disk @ about $100.00 & Accessible Via Internet, from Work :D To Watch the Wife wash it for you :rlaugh:

turBRO240 01-09-08 12:36 PM

LOL at the suggestions. If a real theif wanted to take it, it would be gone in a matter of 15 minutes, even if theres no engine.

windchaserfc3s 01-09-08 01:49 PM

my brother's CRX was stolen in front of my house and was parked next to my FC... completely SUCKED!! i wish we had some sort of survalance!!! stupid jackers... a neighbor had said he spotted the car leaving my street around 3am BUMPING LOUD MUSIC... what kind of SHHXT is that?! bastards got away too :wallbash:

not much you can do against jackers.... usually, they WIN too... FUCK THAT!! now MAYBE if the justice system can punish jackers by slicing their hands off... they'd think thrice!!!

just my 02 cents...

drugblock12a 01-09-08 02:39 PM

if they sliced my hands off and I was a car thief i'd learn to steal with my feet and arm stumps......but yeah watch your baby man......i had one stolen once...i got it back but it was never the same......had to sell it soon afterwards cause the damage had been done...

finishline 01-09-08 03:13 PM

yea man, not rotary related but my old 88 toyota van got jacked twice.

once at the mall, the other in front of my house. not a cool feeling at all.
