> [@VEE6](#): > > thats what i was just thinking since the shop claimed they saw someone with keys picking it up and they had the only keys to the car your friend should ask for his keys back and see what they have to say how is ESE supposed to know that was his only set of keys…any intelligent person has a backup set of keys. Ive called shops before and told them to just lock it up and ill come by and get it later and pay the next day with cc by phone. its not a big deal. and even if he told them he was gonna call before he came to get it, kids are extremely unreliable… not a shock that they handled it the way they did. im not sayin I personally agree with it, but i definitely understand their point of view. ps from what i understand the ppl that own that shop are loaded anyway and could probalby buy that car a thousand times over, so why steal it and ruin a good thing? ---

i think the biggest point that no one brought up… why in gods name would you take a Nissan to a Euro shop? something does not add up there. I am not saying that ESE does not have the knowledge to work on it. but something seems fishy about that ---

I am not saying that ESE does not have the knowledge to work on it. but something seems fishy about that I’d have to say they prefer working on euros and have been known to turn down jobs including imports. They did some work on 1SICEVO and some other imports I know of…They know their limits. ---

I figure, what would ESE have to offer the owner? …who obviously either has alot of money and/or a descent knowledge of his car, considering the pictures and mod sheet, the thing couldnt be put together by a fool. The only thing I can think of is ESE’s mustang dyno…why he chose that over any other shop? Location? assuming hes from Oakland…Then again, if he had that car in oakland and someone wanted to steal it…why didnt they there? Why would it dissappear at ESE in a relatively crime free suburb?

> [@Be\_Rad](#): > > They know their limits. now, yes they do… ESE might not have been @ fault but it was sitting on their lot :shrug: Not sure if htis was covered in this thread: Lastly, the owner is Nick P. (Former VW owner) Hence why he went to ESE I am sure. Kid bought this car already as is. He had it for maybe 4 months. Sucks that he had it stolen. ---

GREAT NEWS! the owner of shop in Indiana,PA Concept Illusions got ahold of me and said has almost all the parts. No car but most of engine,suspension,exhaust and wheels. The car they think was junked. The owner of the parts was notified. The state police are involved and will hopefully get the lil rat bastard that took the car. if everything works out score one for the good guys and a big thank you goes out to Concept Illusions ---
