Didn't leave keys in it... was locked... parked in front of my apartment... no broken glass... car GONE. Probably never get it back.

 

Hm. I always thought it was harder to jack a car that has an immobilizer system.

 

Wow, I thought I was having a bad day!

Go full coverage I hope?

Sucks to be carless. You have another ride?

 

Wow! sorry to hear that! Pros at work again!

Bent09 had his CLS stolen like that here in Houston... during the day...and it was all caught on the security camera!

Praying you get an improved ride and enjoy it... and SOON!

 

Love to know how I was careless with the doors locked, the keys in my pocket, and parked in front of my apartment.

 

car-less not careless. which neighborhood do you stay in? never thought a CL would get stolen in SF. was your car modded? i used to always park my car in the streets

 

Sorry! Only mod was an M5 lip spoiler. Hayes Valley. Had car parked there for the 5 years I had it.

 

HEY i know someone stole it, but I am so sure you'll get it back. They only made 3511 6-Speeds. Just look on autotrader. com everyday. How many miles were on it?

 

This sounds really dumb, but you think it just might have gotten towed?

 

Hey.. its all good... I know youre just mad-as-hell rite now...

 

Yeah. They probably towed it away.
Start looking for chop shops around town. Spread the news in local forums.

One of my buddies Si was stolen, everybody here knew that car and people started seeing a similar car about a month later. we went and checked it out finally and it was his with some parts changed (including the vin number). But it was too late. They had sold it to some guy who acutally had the title (for the different vin). his insurance had already paid him, so he was like fuck it.
Those guys got busted though. Cops found over 10 cars there.

 

That sucks. I've been seeing more and more stripped cars on the insurance auctions. Sucks, fuckin jswaps happening in civics and tegs. Low lifes

 

It wasn't towed. I was parallel parked between two cars right underneath my bedroom. I did hear a car honking but only twice. There were some thunderstorms going on and it was right after a loud clap. I was half asleep and didn't think anything of it. Been three days... finding a stolen car in SF is about as much of a priority as making sure someone's bathroom drain isn't clogged up.

Obviously the theif knew what they were doing. I'm sure the car got chopped and parted out. I have another car but still sucks. I did find one like mine with 20,000 fewer miles for sale in Socal but it looks like it's at a pot lot with aftermarket wheels and shifter knob. They want 11k for it (61,000 miles). Have to wait to hear from insurance before I do anything. Might just drive my original car which is a 71 VW Bus and not get a second car. Tough to compare a CL-S 6 speed to a Bus!

This is the other car:

Found two White/Ebony 6 speeds for sale too... very rare and nice but my CL was almost paid off not sure I want to get back into payments again.

 

wow im amazed that this could happen to a cl and even in SF! im never taking my car to SF unless i have an alarm. Sorry for your lost hope you can find it.

 

Sorry to hear about your loss and I hope they find it for you. It might not be chopped yet because sometimes the thieves park it for several days to a week just to see if it was tracked by lojack or some other tracking system before they do anything.

 

I hear SJ is chop shop central. NOW I'm a Lojack believer! LOL.

 

thats true but thats only if you're driving a civic or integra haha. hope they find the car and good luck. hopefully you can get another cl6.

 

Wow. Sucks to hear that man. Good luck with insurance.

 

Car jack dollies, rolls out from between cars, car gets pulled on top a flatbed & gone.
I've seen tow guys use them. If you don't have a shock sensor the factory alarm is useless.
Also it's really easy to bypass the factory alarm once you jimmy the door open.
There are electronic gizmo's to bypass the transponder key too
Just bad luck it was your car.

 

I hate thieves, I hope they all burn in hell for eternity. My brother had his 2000 Honda Civic stolen out of our drive way a few years ago, it sucks ass man. I hope everything works out for you.

 

You sale MB's right? You don't want to go that route? I would think you could get a killer deal working there in all, but I really would not know how all that works!

 

Yes they have employee deals that are very nice. MB does not make a Manual Transmission Coupe. I do like the C Class but I'm not getting the smaller engine which only comes with the manual. Plus you put your money into it and it gets stolen!

Honestly I'll just put Lojack into my Bus and go back to driving it. Maybe one day I'll get another CL-S 6 Speed but for now I'll just save the cash. My commute is only 1 mile each way and I've been meaning to finish restoring my Bus...

I'm just glad I didn't really modify my car and lose all that money. Plus if I don't get the car back my parking tickets go away, registration fee goes away, 105k service goes away, insurance fee goes away. Sucks that I did spend over $800 for 4 new Continental tires in March but c'est la vie.

I am really shocked that the car got stolen. I think I will never own another car without Lojack now. Thing that blows so much is to have a car that's almost paid off and in nice overall condition just gone.

There is a sweet White/Ebony 6 Speed Navi for sale but I don't feel like shelling out 15k for that with tax and everything.

Those crooks are lucky I didn't catch them. I'm probably lucky too because Kalifornia law doesn't look to kindly on people "defending" their property. Were I in Texas I would have had different rights. And the SF Police told me their policy makes looking for stolen cars one of the lowest priorities.

 

I hear you on the manual thing. I still like the price on the E55 AMG, and with 469HP/512TQ, i guess an auto would do.

I've only got two weeks left with my CLS then its gone. Gonna do the one car thing for awhile and save some doe. Then I'll see what I want to get in about 5 to 6 months.

Good luck in what ever you decide.

 

CLS is a nice rig. Save some cash.

 

Lo jack isn't all that. Don't get worked up on it. Many cars are still not recovered. If they are they are found stripped, or damaged & become a loss anyway.

 

Sux man! If it makes you feel better a dude that i work with had his car stolen like a month or two ago. It was a honda civic hatchback that was hooked up. I asked if anyone found it, and he said yes it was found stripped at this garage. It's jus the days and times we are living in. Good luck.

 

I would say watch craigslist. and also If you see anyone from san fran doing a J32 in a civic.

 

The CL-S6 is a very unique car. I highly recommend that you get another one after you are getting sick of driving the bus again. BY THE WAY, There are only 15 White/Black/Navi CL's in the entire world. 2 of these 15 are on Autotrader.
This one is also posted on the Black Market and is owned by an Azine member:

His AcuraZine ad: (Ad has been closed but car is still for sale)


His Autotrader ad:


The other Black/White/Navi 6-Speed thats also 1 of 15 thats for sale by some random guy on Autotrader: Link:



And believe it or not, there is also ANOTHER white/black 6-speed on Autotrader also! This one does not have Navi though, but its still one of 43!!!

Link:


Also, if you are interested in finding more 6-speed CL's, I have all the search results right here only narrowed down to 2003 CL 6-Speeds, starting from the lowest miles: Link:


Hope all this was helpful! I take mastercard only

 

This is a long shot, but i've seen the j32a2 swaps getting more popular in civics/teggies and I can see a lot of reason for them to Jack your car for the motor and tranny.

 

I saw those! If I wanted to spend the money I'd buy the one in CT! That is a nice ride despite salt on the roads but I bet he took good care of it.

The Bus is a great car but it's no CL. I've had it for 14 years though... I will see if my car shows up, if not how much I have left over after the bank is paid off... what a mess!

The one like mine but with 21k less miles is in Burbank... 11k... I could go there but Auto Liquidators doesn't sound too good...

 

^ The one thats in CT is a gem. If i had it, I would be too nervous to drive it....

 

and i just found this on ebay: Link

 

keep an eye out on craigslist ads. anything distinctive in your car? maybe post the plate on here. I'll try to look out for an NPB 03 CL-S with lip spoiler out in sac for you.

 

Damn...sorry to hear that dawg. Maybe I should have just left the sound system stock after all. I had no idea they where that easy to snatch and dash.

 

Wow that's like 25 miles from where I grew up. VERY NICE car. Pricing is slightly higher than what I have been seeing elsewhere. My car was JUST like that but with a BMW M5 lip spoiler and painted emblems on the back...

 

This is what my car looked like from the back:



Plate is BUH BYYY (Very ironic now I know!)

 

ur car looks like every other cl-s in SF or bay area... except for the emblems on the left... mine has the lip spoiler just like urs and debaged, but i left the "S" on the right and the logo in the middle...removed the rest.... my bro has the same color as u, but same setup as mine.

good luck with ur find, didnt know they can take cls that easily. wut part of sf were u at? keep us posted

 

Hayes Valley area.

Ever see this movie Ghost Dog? The way he steals the cars... that is possible...

 

well at least the emblem placement is unique. I'll keep a look out here in the sacramento area for you.

 

sorry to hear that. my friend recently got her car stolen in SF too. she called the pound and it was not there, so she filed a police report and they found her car the next day. nothing stolen!!!!hope you find your car too.
