Saturday morning around 5:30 am I got woken up by my Compustar. I was staying at my girlfriends place and the ITR was parked out on the street. I jump out of bed, run downstairs, out the front door. The guy is still in my car. He hears me coming jumps out of the car and starts running down the street. I chase him for about 30 yards then give up, as I am only wearing my boxers, no shoes and I can’t get any real grip. All it all it is a pretty shitty situation. I don’t think he was smart enough to actually steal the car looking at the aftermath. But it’s still a serious pain in the ass. It seems that he pried between the window and the roof of the car. ITRs have a small clip that holds the top of the window to the car so that you can’t just pry it open that way… So he broke the window. He also dented the roof of my car. Then he broke apart the steering column, in doing so he damaged the immobilizer sensor so now the car won’t even start with my key. The whole situation is pretty shitty. The car would have been in storage this week but I was having some issues with my truck so I kept it out for a daily driver. The joys of owning a ITR I guess.
Ouch, man that sucks dude. Atleast he didn’t steal the car. It just blows chunks that you have to get all the damaged things fixed.
Did you get a good description of the guy?
That really sucks man. I guess it could have been worse though.
White guy, I would say late teens early 20s, medium build, dirty blond hair, clean cut, wearing a blue track suit… Someone that would blend in pretty much anywhere… Its to bad he got away. If he didn’t I would be posting about having a thief beating party in the basement… Oh well.
thats shitty. Framless windows FTL!!! I dont know how he dented the roof and broke the window, he much not be a good thief. I can get in a honda with an alarm, roll down the window and take a deck without an alarm going off aslong as there is no motion sensors. Soo easy.
Sorry to hear dude, I hope that in the futur some time you run into this guy. Make sure you do the right thing and kick his ass when you do.
allen you heat bag! haha
Sorry to hear. How much will it cost to have your immobilizer fixed?
That’s horrible, sorry about all the bad, that would’ve been nice if u caught him. :partyman:
I should have a ajuster out to see the car this week… its sitting in my shop right now, I would really love to wash the car but its missing a window so that isn’t going to happen. The Integra doors are a full framed door. The dent was not there prior to this happening though. My guess is that when the window broke he pushed the crow bar he had into the car. Its kinda strange because there was glass on the roof of the car. I know about the whole door handel pop thing two… On the plus side its nice that it was someone that didn’t know what they are doing… This way I still have the car, even though its damaged.
If anyone was to hear something about this and wanted to let me know. I am sure I could pass them some money for a name and adress. I would love to sit down and talk with the guy that damaged my car. It happened in the Capalino (sp) area.
Variable’s looking for a rat!
Well maybe there is someone that knows the guy and maybe doesn’t really like him that much. All they would be doing is help educate someone on the reality of fucking with someones car and how serious the end result of doing that can be.
In a unrelated story. One of the guys from Cevo had his civic stolen a year and a half or so back. One of the other guys in the club happen to see the car in a parking lot across from his appartment. So the owner and a couple friends got a van, went and waited for the guy. When he came out they simply drove the van up behind the car. The guy that stole it didn’t think much of it. Then they went up to the car and grabbed the guy… Took him to a more descrite location and used some golf clubs to re-educate the guys face. I bet that guy thought twice about stealing a car again. Personally I feel thats the only thing that is going to stop a young offender from doing something like this… It will likley work on older people aswell. I called the police under a minute after I started chasing him… they had no intrest in coming to look for him what so ever.
wow that really sucks… so u had a silent alarm? fuck that was me and i caught him id do the same thing as you and beat the shit out of him and invite anyone else in on it lol.
good luck trying to find him. hope u get ur car fixed up good.
btw did u see his face? and would reckonize him if u saw him?
Ya he looked straight at me when he got out of the car. It was parked pretty much right under a street light. Hopefully he lives around there and a bump into him at the mall or something like that.
did he look scared?
he probaby saw ur car in the past and today just came back to take it so yah hopefully he lives around u, ill help u beat the shit out of him(i got all sorts of cool weapons)
i wonder what works better, silent or like a regular alarm, atleast the regular alarm might scare the guy off, but the silent you are more likely to catch the guy…
^^ yah and if they know u have an alarm cant they cut some wires to make it useless?
Well I set my alarm to silent… in reality not many people would actually do something even if your alarm was going off at 2 in the morning. IMO your best off with a 2 way that lets you know so you can personally do something about it.
awww makes me wanna pay that extra 60 a month for underground parking:( shitty deal dude,hope you find the perp and bust his face up good!
stolen a few car stereos have we? :lol:
my 240 was so easy to break into. hit the sunroof and the latch comes down and then pop it open and push the 2 buttons and the sunroof comes off.
