watch some TL forum member come on in a couple days and be like...my TL got stripped while I was sleeping!!! That wouldn't be good.

I wonder why the thing was stripped, I mean doesn't look to be any frame damage from being in an accident...

beats me...?

I know huh. But...if you think about it, they must of not had access to a lift. Looks like a backyard job to me, since if you had that in a REAL shop, the engine would be gone for sure.

P.S.

Not to mention the windshields...the rear glass is the most expensive @ $700.

P.P.S

Add the seatbelt too.

Because they probably visited this forum and found out about all the tranny problems and figured there was something wrong with the engine as well

They couldn't take the engine or tranny cause then they couldn't drive it to dump the car, most probably broke into the car found the valet key stole it, striped it then dumped it. ebays gonna have alot of acura parts very soon

I don't think they could drive the car to dump it. From the pics, it seems like the radiatior is gone too.

Man that sucks balls I don't know why anyone would have their valet key in their car. Leave it on the key chain but have it on a hook or something easy to take off if you do indeed allow a valet drive your car. Personally I never let a valet touch mine.

I had several funny things to say about those pics, but following what someone else wrote...I have to take a moment of silence first. Now, damn! It would seem there was sufficient time for someone else to take the car apart. I say, they just saved another time to get the engine out. I doubt they blew it! There is so much control on this engine how could they blow it. I'm tempted to take a road trip and get me some parts.
