Sorry to hear about that!

I'll keep my eye out for it; but you're right, it's probably stripped by now!

Will do. I'm right up the road in Gburg tonight until 9pm. Sorry to hear that.

I am almost assuredly of no help here, but you have my sympathies. I had a car, a new one get smashed up pretty good by some teenage moron driving 50 mph ON STREETS AFTER AN ICESTORM, ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS, speed limit 25, who ran a yield sign and hit me good. Car, out of service, for four months.

Dad loaned me his beloved Dodge Caravan, brand new also, but told me, "If you put so much as a scratch in my van, I will kill you."

So, I always parked the van within, maybe 25 feet of my balcony, so I can keep an eye on it. On one particular Sunday, I go outside to use the van, and guess what? NO VAN!

The real rub here? This happened on FATHERS DAY, 1989! Imagine telling your father that on his special day! Worse, he was out with relatives enjoying dinner, and naturally, I discovered the van was stolen, probably, three seconds after they left for dinner. I called him so often that the batteries in the cordless died. What anguish!

Disclaimer, and I want no flaming from the few, but welcome females we have on the board here, but I now have some concept of what rape feels like. Really.

This may sound cruel, but I hope the thing is recovered immediately, intact. Or, I hope the thing is never seen again, or is so stripped that the thing is a total loss, such that you get the maximun insurance money.

My CLS6 is always locked, parking brake on, in a locked garage. Make it as hard on these bastards as possible. I clearly remember a "60 minutes" segment, where car thieves generally stole $50,000 BMWs, MBs, Porsches, etc, and turned them over to the people who parted them out for $1,200 to 1,500 a car.

ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR!

probably in DC. my legend was stripped and found in DC after 3 months. in some parts of DC its KNOWN taht people torch cars there after they steal it and cops don't even show up for WEEKS. and if they do show up they only come to recover 1 of the cars they came for not OTHER stolen cars.

civics and integras are too high risk these days. my other brothers integra was stolen last year right from my driveway in broad daylight also, found it a couple miles away a month later in some neighborhood. the old guy whos house it was in front of said "it had just been sitting there for a couple weeks and i didnt think much of it"....the dumbasses who did steal it couldnt even get his rims off either, but all the bolts were stripped from them trying to.

anyway, the civic was parked behind the MCPS board of edu. building right off 355 in rockville. the only people that would be able to see it are the guys that play soccer back there on the field, so if none of them didnt take it im sure they saw who did. ill be checking it out tomorrow, hopefully someone is dumb enough to be driving it around there.

It will turn up in PG county, probably Hyatsville stripped of everything including airbags. Sorry to hear about the theft. I know a few people with civics and accords stolen and they all turn up in PG.

Sorry to hear that man. Just curious, but did the car have an alarm or any other anti-theft device that would have prevented them from jacking it? I kinda feel a blanket of protection with my Viper 2-way, with how it will attempt to page me if the alarm goes off. I know that when I'm out of range, it's just as good as a standard alarm. "If there is a will, there is a way"

Sorry to hear about the civic. Can't really replace something you put time and effort into.


Someone I worked with had his legend stolen from his apt complex parking. 2 months later he takes the trash out, has to walk to the dumpsters on the other side of the complex because his are filled. His car is there. All nice, clean, & waxed. The guy who stole it lived in the same complex and had been using it. He said the guy had the car in 10X better shape than he kept it. The thief actually had repair work done. The thief never saw the car before he stole it, thought it belonged to a vistor.

Some of those legends were easy to steal.

I would say if you didnt find it abandoned or wrecked somewhere by now, your not going to find it. I really hope he had insurance.

yea he had an alarm, but those are just about useless. he did have insurance for the car, but the only problem is having receits for the $4k+ he had invested into the car.
