3G TL Front end stripped....

Greetings all,

what the fuck ohhhh hell no

have you called the police THEN notify your insurance company? any security footage at that lot? (probably not)
search local sale for your front end along with ebay and cl

best luck to you and i hope the thief get ran over by a semi on new years day

Yeah... merry Christmas to me! They cut multiple wires and I'm not sure what EXACTLY they were aiming for... but they did one heck of a hack job. I'm not going to speak much on the details, but... I hope they're happy!

What the hell?

Looks like someone got into a front-end collision with their TL, and stole parts from yours to repair theirs? That's the only somewhat sane conclusion I can come to.

Damn... good luck finding them.

looks like they knew what they were doing. i'd keep an eye out for any other TLs cuz as someone said before, they could be using the parts since they were pretty specific of what they wanted.

Yeah, I'm on top of it. Nothing good comes to thieves, it's only a matter of time. This seems like it's becoming quite common. The car was located in a "secured" garage. It's a complete joke honestly and some of these people around here think they live in fantasy world just because there is a gate with a key card. It's quite ridiculous.

Thats nuts, Id have to concur with the wrecked TL theory. If you have a friend in the DC police have him look for a TL accident. In the present, make the best of your misfortune....
