2008 Carbon Bronze Pearl Type-S STOLEN!!!! Please Help

I recently had a 2008 TL type s stolen today in my driveway between the hours of 12:30 am - 8:00 am. It looked like it was towed or something because there was no broken glass where it was parked. I already called in for a report for a missing vehicle and now I don't know what else to do at this moment. I have 2 sets of keys and I have them both with me. I borrowed a ride and drove around the neighborhood and the city of Hamilton Ontario Canada but no luck. I'm hoping to hear from fellow members on any inputs or advice as I am going through a rough time. Can someone show me how to upload some photos?

Unfortunately, the group of Canadian TLers on this board is very small, there's only like 15 of us that frequent here compared to the hundreds of american members who frequent here.

We will keep a watch out, though, and let you know.
Post this up in the regions board:
https://acurazine.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=323
The majority of the people who reply to this thread will only be able to sympathize for you (americans can't watch out for Canadian area)

Keep your hopes up!

Upload the pictures to photobucket or imageshack and paste the link here.

Holy smokes one of my buddies just posted on FB that a PWP RSX with Mugen Parts was stolen from Hamilton area from a driveway 2-AM to 6-AM.

Coincidence?

No details, but I believe it's a clean swipe like yours.

Sorry to hear about your stolen TL-S. Both my son's had vehicles stolen and both were found. But in sad shape I'm afraid to say. Hope the police finds yours soon and in good shape. Hopefully it's just some joy riders. To post pics, upload your pics to a site like photobucket or imageshack, copy and paste the link in here. I'll leave this thread here but you should also start a thread in your regions section, which will be frequent more by your local members. Good luck.

If you have both set of keys I would think that it must have been towed from your drive way

Sorry to hear dude. Most likely car is being stripped to shit right now. You got full coverage insurance? I would give them a call on Monday morning and ask for a rental first, after that see how much they can give you assuming the car is a write-off.

not in the hamilton area and don't frequent it much but I will look out for it. CBP Type S is pretty rare here so it should be easy to spot.

Oh shit, I saw the thread on the rsx as well. I live in hamilton ontario and Am scared now. But I do have a low jack on my car with tracking gps, so even if they did take it I would find it right away and call the Police. This is a scary thought. If I found out who did it or caught them id lose my shit. Like honestly who steals cars, what is wrong with some people

The car is insured but I would rather find it in one piece. If not then partially stripped is better than completely gone.

There were a few light mods. Nothing major. Just the wheels, tires, h.i.d. fogs and hawk brake pads. The car was from California and currently has about 40 000miles(64 000kms). Had it for a few years now.

Insurance can't do anything till Monday but there's a new home building site on the same block on my street. I'm going to ask whoever's incharge if they had security cameras up during that time. If they did then we can see if the vehicle was driven away clean or towed. That won't help much but at least I have a better idea of what went down. I'll let you guys know if I have any new info. Thanks guys

Here's a couple videos I found. One is an MDX and the other I'm pretty sure it looks like a TL. Honda Accord as well.

Check craigslist for newly list parts or mods specific to your car. Not a guarantee of anything but you never know.

although by the time the parts are passed from chop shop to craigslist, it most likely have passed 2-3 transactions so it'd be hard to track.because im sure chop shop workers arent that stupid to post on craigslist right away

After just buying my 2008 CBP type S, this really rings home. Here's hoping 1) it's recovered and if not, covered by insurance and 2) the people who did it are caught and punishes as such. Makes me want to go out and get lowjack

Having a little trouble with logins but okay now. Car still missing and currently talking to insurance. Not much news other than that. Although I'm the ads and classifieds for part sales.
