my TL stolen!!

hows it going guys, well...as the title says, my car got stolen today. I was at Exxon and parked. I got out and while i was lockin my car with the remote some poor, bum looking white guy around his mid 40's snatches the keys from my hand and goes in the car and locks it so I cant get in. He then drives off with my car......Kinda stupid the way it happened i know but man. Called the police and what not and got the all that info from them. My question is does a non-navi TL have some kind of gps system in it where you can track its location or no? If not, you guys have any pointers to help me out in this situation? thanks alot in advance. really means alot.

well, according to my 6th sense, your TL is on your driveway or you don't even own one.

Nice try.

I'll bite. The answer is no (unless you installed Lo-Jack on it).

However, based on the story, I still call

What year is it and what are the last 5 of the vin #. If it has onstar they can pinpoint it down to within 30 meters. A little more description please.

If it's a 3rd gen TL, it won't have onstar. Even if it did have nav, it only tracks the satellites and reports it's position on the screen. It doesn't send the position out to a remote source like onstar or a cell phone would.

You are aware you don't have to spin, extend your arm, and point the remote at the car for it to work, right? But this thread is crazy. Let me guess, you're going to go to the dealership and demand the car be replaced under warranty?

I'd definately do something a little more and just stand there and watch while he attempts to steal the car. I'd probably get one of those squeegies you use to wash your car and start whacking him around with that

I did not know it was a 3rd gen tl. I own a 3rd gen as well. I know they dont have onstar Triads. I am not kidding you. If it is a 2003 it has onstar.

If my car had been stolen and a guy took the keys out of my had jumped in the car and he drove off....The guy would have never made it to the car in one piece... I mean come on sounds like BS to me.

I think I saw it on TV. Some guy was driving it in circles in the desert.

Just in case anyone has any ideas about stealing mine, It is set to self destruct within 5 seconds if someone sits in the driver's seat whose ass doesn't match my butt prints. It was one of those extra features Acura offers over Infiniti & Lexus.

They set up road blocks when someone stole your TL? And, if it were my car, I wouldn't even want it back - it's been violated.

Now you got me thinking about what Doogie Howser did to the backseat of Kumar's car in "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle." That's not cool.

You need some anger control dude. There was no need to get hostile unless it was YOUR car that was stolen. Lighten up!!

look man
we're sorry, our main goal is to help people
but the problem is that the chances of that happenin are very slim
you can just shut all of us up by maybe scanning the police report or sumthin

So are you guys saying that tl_luvva = VtecTL?

Sorry, VtecTL, but we TL'ers are just a skeptical bunch, having been fooled quite a few times in the past. It's not so much that we doubt your veracity, we just aren't sure you are telling the truth, so what TacoBellSauce said about scanning some of the reports is a good thing to do if you want to verify what you said.

Hey guy, sorry to hear about your stolen TL. Mine was stolen also.

In reference to your question concerning a GPS system. The TL does not have a GPS system in it. It has to be purchased aftermarket.

My car had Mobileguardian installed. It's like LoJack. With Mobileguardian, your car can be tracked on the interenet as well as over the phone. My car was recovered, however, because the thiefs were involved ina high-speed chase, the car is a total loss.

thnx alot for the info ed-head, as for city and state where my car was stolen, it was in millersville, MD. I understand you guys have been fooled in the past but I mean, I do have better things to do than go on some forums and bs about something like this and if I was bsing, what would I get for it? my cell phone was in the car when the crook took it so i had to temporarily cancel my service with verizon. i wish had gps turned on in my cell so i atleast had that to try and recover my car.
