Mar_DC2 · « **on:** 08:20AM 09/11/2003 »

last night, my girlfriend came to visit me at the dorms up at the U. i went outside when she got here and i noticed she parked in the row accross from my car. we went back to this party for about 20 minutes, then decided to go get some food. we walked to my dorm and i dropped off my skateboard, went back out to the parking lot and a saturn SUV was sitting where my car was, no broken glass anywhere. we thought maybe someone had moved it as a joke, so we walked around the whole lot and it was nowhere. I called the cops and they arrived about 10 minutes later, got all my info, searched the lot again, then called it out as a stolen vehicle. after they left we drove around for 2 hours seeing if we could find it and had no luck. this morning i got a call at 8:30 from the university police saying they it had been found on 2000 W 1100 N, completely stripped inside and out.

i'm pretty pissed off about this, it was taken from a very well lit parking lot between 9:15 and 9:45, with the doors locked and alarm armed. if anyone knows of someone selling Si seats or wheels or radio then please let me know asap. i have no idea as of yet what was taken out of it, all they said was stripped inside and out. and if anyone know's who took it, give them a good a s s whuppin for me, then notify the police.

Holly sh!t, your car was stolen from the dorms at the U...I thought they were suppose to be monitoring those parking lots day and night. Sounds like they found your car in a pretty rough area in North Salt Lake. I'm glad they found your car, but it really sucks that they stripped it. It seems really strange that there wasn't any broken glass or anything. I'll keep my eyes opened...sorry.

utahteg · « **Reply #2 on:** 09:02AM 09/11/2003 »

Oh btown, keep an eye on ebay and see if anything turns up there...you never know.

Mar_DC2 · « **Reply #3 on:** 11:25AM 09/11/2003 »

yeah, i'll keep monitoring ebay and honda-tech for people selling Si parts. keep an eye out for an Si gauge cluster with 92,000 miles on it, its probably the only Si cluster you'll see with that kind of mileage, so if anyone knows of one that someone is trying to sell, please let me know.

im going to go check out the car in about an hour and see what else is missing, but i think if i can find the cluster, then i'll find the culprits. it has the VIN on it and everything, so that's what i'm looking for right now.

i was suprised too, the lots are so well lit that i wouldn't think anyone would even try to take a car from there. especially at 9:30pm. from the time i last saw my car to when i discovered it was missing it was only 20 minutes, so someone either had to have a key, or really knew what they were doing. thanks for the concern.

Dude thats so f u c k e d up its a s s h o l e s like that that make this world s h i t t y just because those b a s t a r d s cant afforda nice car and think stealing is cool. Kanzen said it best "car theifs are the lowest form on this earth". Ill keep an eye out to who had the car before u mabey they had a spare key im so sorry dude

utahteg · « **Reply #5 on:** 03:22PM 09/11/2003 »

That's a really good point bballracer...if someone was able to drive away in your car that easily I would think that they had a key to it or something. I hope that something turns up for you soon.

Staats · « **Reply #6 on:** 04:20PM 09/11/2003 »

If i were u B i would go and get a report from carfax or dmv or were ever and look at all the old owners they might have details but even if the alarm as on even if they had a key the alarm would still sound because they dont have the remote to turn it off unless they poped your hood and cut the wire. they couldnt do that if u had the alarm wired to your trunk my dads a P I (private investigator) if you need anything he might be able to help out but i keep checking ebay for u so well see what happens

Damon · « **Reply #7 on:** 04:38PM 09/11/2003 »

Holy s h i t!

That sucks. I agree. Sounds like someone with a key. Did you buy it from a dealership or a person? I'm worried for the same thing. I know when I bought my car I only got one key and one alarm button. I know there's a second of both out there somewhere.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Hope you catch 'em $:-\$

Mar_DC2 · « **Reply #8 on:** 04:48PM 09/11/2003 »

here's an update:

the car can't be salvaged, they vandalized the s h i t out of it and the estimate is already past $8,000 just in parts. that's not including engine repair because they tried to get the VTEC solenoid off and f u c k e d up the head, and there are still parts that they havent looked over. the way they got in was they peeled the window, pushed it of the rails and broke the ignition. there's blood all over the steering wheel and on the window switches, so i dunno if the cops want to investigate that or not. they took my strut bar, rear view mirrors, front and rear seats, speakers, side skirts, front lip, rear spoiler, tail lights, owner's manual, garage door opener's, an air freshener that my mom gave me for christmas, and fuel pressure gauge, all of that plus vandalism. so keep on the look out for those parts. my parent's have to get their garage door opener's changed because they took the opener's i had in my car and i had documents with the address on it. i seriously don't understand how someone can find so much joy in ruining other people's lives, but there's not much i can do now, just hope they get caught.

i'll get pictures up by this weekend.

Staats · « **Reply #9 on:** 04:55PM 09/11/2003 »

Well if the cops were smart they would run the dna from the blood through the computers and see if a match comes up and rum the fingerprints because if there was blood they obviously (or probably wernt wearing gloves so they werent that smart. and even if they find out who it is there is no guarintee (cant speel tonight) that ull get it all back if there broke a s s guys and if u sue them whos gonna pay to get ur stuff back
Good luck with it all dude and i cant honestly say i know what ur going through but everybody on here loves there rides and would hate to have this happen so u know we all got ur back in anyway well all keep an eye out

Mar_DC2 · « **Reply #10 on:** 05:29PM 09/11/2003 »

yeah, unfortunately you can't run a DNA sample through a computer and find a name. they need a suspect and they need a sample from him before they can test the DNA from my car. it's basically a lost cause unless i can find the parts. even if i do get all the stuff back, the car probably can't be salvaged. right now the estimate on restoring it back to the way it was is going to cost more than what i bought it for.

Integra Posse · « **Reply #11 on:** 05:48PM 09/11/2003 »

WOW! This story sounds like what happened to me except they didn't get my car......I feel soooo lucky right now! I feel sorry for you and hopefully you have it insured. I bet someone was watching your car, looking out for it. They stole it in a period of 20 minutes, geeze they must have been just waiting for you to leave then pranced at the opportunity to steal it. Sorry and I'll be looking out for your stuff.

1slowCX · « **Reply #12 on:** 05:53PM 09/11/2003 »

Btown.....I have had it happen, I know what you are going through... Make sure to keep a high note...don't get down on it... Ill be looking for ya....

Hey btown there is also the chance that it is that asian gang that jeff knows?!?! give me all the info and ill talk to him bout it...

Sorry bro it sucks......worst feeling in the world is when you go out....look and nothing is there.....

Mar_DC2 · « **Reply #13 on:** 06:00PM 09/11/2003 »

yeah if you want to check it out, that would be cool. just let me know what info you need and i'll give it to ya.

lagguer · « **Reply #14 on:** 06:30PM 09/11/2003 »

Dude I'm so d a m n sorry. I hope things get better for you. Mine was broken into last night and almost stolen. It would have, had it not been for that new ECU.
It's so frustrating to know that there are a s s h o l e s out there not willing to work for anything and they screw everyone who actually works hard for their stuff over. I just hope those dickheads get theirs in the end.

Not sure what your talking about, but I do know Civic windows are easily popped out of their guides. Just poke a screwdriver in the rear top of the window and pry it out. Viola! You're now close to being in the car. Definately wouldn't set off most shock sensors.

Mar_DC2 · « **Reply #17 on:** 09:59AM 09/12/2003 »

civic's and integra's have little knobs on their windows that if you break and pull out, you can peel off the window seal. that's called peeling the window. if you peel off the seal and put enough pressure on the window to break it off the rail, then you can get enough room to open the door. thats why you need alarms with window and door sensors or else you'll get what happened to me.

MitzuRida · « **Reply #18 on:** 11:52PM 09/12/2003 »

That sucks real bad i hope you find out who did it, that must have been the worst feeling to go out and see your car gone.

Kanzen · « **Reply #19 on:** 09:43AM 09/13/2003 »

Sorry to hear that B.....Most likely your car will be totalled out by the insurance company. Just start looking for another car or buy your car back and get what ever is left over and fixed it back up.

OverLord · « **Reply #20 on:** 11:26AM 09/13/2003 »

That sucks man. I am sooo tired of thieves that cant save their own money to buy parts. It pisses me off to no end that I work my a s s off and someone can just take everything in a few hours. If you find out who did it, let us know We will add their name(s) to the list (damon knows what I am talking about)

jdsoren · « **Reply #21 on:** 02:05PM 09/13/2003 »

That really sucks, really bad...hopefully you have good insurance coverage and proof of all your mods. It can be hard to get insurance companies to pay for aftermarket parts. Just be glad that you at least have your car back, my truck was stolen the first of June and I still haven't heard a thing.

Mar_DC2 · « **Reply #22 on:** 03:33PM 09/13/2003 »

thanks for everyone's concern, it's really appreciated.

it turns out honda's estimate was lower than they thought it was going to be, they're estimating $6,600 in parts and about $2,500 in labor, but that's not including engine repair. there's a clicking sound in the head when the rev the motor up and let off the throttle, and oil was spurting out near the VTEC solenoid because the the theives tried to take it off. so it looks like it might be a toss up between totalling the car and recovering it. ive already got my eyes on an EG and a few other cars if it comes down to that. it sucks to think about driving a 100hp beast after driving an Si for a year, but oh well.

Teknik_DC2 · « **Reply #23 on:** 07:05PM 09/15/2003 »

Hey B-Town im sorry to hear what happened. First it wasn't anyone from the gang that I know because there all in California right now. plus there alot cleaner then that. I can tell you though from what it sounds like is that it is the same people who stole Seans car back in April. And they don't have much time left to get Seans stuff back. Let me talk to my boy up here and he'll have his boys kick the crap out of them even more and try to get you some money back. If it is the same one's who took Seans car there going to get the crapped kicked out of them for Sean's, and your car's being jacked. I'll keep you updated on the situation.

Mar_DC2 · « **Reply #24 on:** 07:49PM 09/15/2003 »

if you can find out who it was then that would be greatly appreciated. i already have some people who will join me in kicking the crap out of them. i don't care if i get my money back, i just want them to hurt.

Teknik_DC2 · « **Reply #25 on:** 10:10AM 09/22/2003 »

Hey B-town I know who stole your car. All I have to say is that the people who stole it are going to be very very sorry for it next week. Oh by the way it is not the same ones who stole seans car. So yea there is going to be some butt kicking for you next week.

Mar_DC2 · « **Reply #26 on:** 01:38PM 09/22/2003 »

oh man, thank you so much. please send me any info about them that you have, and any evidence you have. since my car was stolen there have been two instances in less than a week of people trying to break into my parent's house and it needs to stop asap.

please send any info to purpleturtle03@earthlink.net

OverLord · « **Reply #27 on:** 06:41PM 09/23/2003 »

Btown Let me know whats up I would like to get my hand in the pot too.

is insurance payin for your loss or wut? either way it sux. same thing happened to me about a week ago and insurance wont pay. I talked to the cop about it and he said they have 3-5 hondas stollen every day just in his district. No more hondas for me

Mar_DC2 · « **Reply #31 on:** 07:31PM 09/29/2003 »

insurrance paid me $12000 for the car, but that was barely enough to pay the loan off. why wont your insurrance give you any money?

Damon · « **Reply #32 on:** 05:28PM 09/30/2003 »

I pay like an extra buck a month for gap insurance. Anything the insurance doesn't cover, my financial institution I got the loan from will.
