That would suck majorly. Are you pissed? I'm sure I would be :mad:
Did you have any anti-theft devices installed?
I've never had a car stolen...my old one got broken into several times :rolleyes:

That sucks in a major way. I'm sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. My Harley was stolen right out of my garage - with no insurance. I was lucky to get it back a year later - but in pieces (it's still in pieces) :(
When your "pride and joy" gets stolen, it leaves an empty pit in your gut. :mad:
I hope your car gets recovered...................

Man that blows. I would be extremely pissed. Contact the police often and get in touch with an officer who you can contact directly about the case. Give them all the details. call your insurance company and let them know what has happened. Make sure to file a police report, or you may not be able to claim insurance if there is damage when they get your vehicle back. Did you leave the title in the car?
This kind of thing makes me want to get an alarm installed and a engine kill switch so that I can remotely kill the engine if I find that it has been stolen. A GPS monitoring device would also be nice. I may look into this. I hate thieves with a passion.

You can get GPS monitors over here. They tell you where your car is if it's stolen and are pretty accurate from what I hear :p
I'd love to sneak up on a thief who's just stolen my car and is trying to play it cool...and wack them in the head with a lead pipe or something.
Imagine the look on their face when you say something like "get your own frikkin car bi*ch!"..then WHAM! smack 'em in the head.

Man.....Sorry to hear that Egghead. It'll get recovered. Most stolen cars are. Just keep the pressure on the police and the insurance and they'll find it for you.

Sorry, really sorry to hear that egghead. You should have put my wife in the car. The thief would have returned it in less than 30 minuts after having to listen to her rant. You can borrow my old lady any time when you get another car. Just trying to cheer yo up dude. ;)

My brothers mother, from my fathers side of the family... got her car stolen ... he said she wasn't pissed, over the phone, but, I beg to differ, because, I would be pissed ... lol :)

it is very frustrating to have your car stolen.
you plan your day around transportation and when the plan fails and you must use alternate roots.
the whole day is &^%&^% hehe.....
Ya it really is a bummer.

Egg,
Do you expect to have it recovered?
egghead
September 23rd, 2003, 03:43 AM
the stats here in bc are that if its not found in 3 days its 95 % gone forever
they found mine in 20 days and they ripped out the stereo and thrashed the console and ripped the interior to get the speakers and left dents all over it and ripped off the gas lock.
they even took the emblem that says high performance suspension :(
the claims adjuster says they don't want to pay to get it fixed and it may get written off
the battery is dead and i gave them a number of my repair facility for an estimate and i will know tuesday what the outcome will be.
they probably bagged the motor but i don't know

Oh, lets hope the insurer classes it as a write-off... u dont want them to fix it knowing that its been through hell! Was the car insured for what its worth or more? or lots less? Might be time to upgrade like Dehc with his fancy eclipse... good luck anyway.

the car had basic insurance that inludes fire and theft

it was not the greatest car but i loved driving it down the highway with the cd blasting and a beutiful girl by my side!

those cars are easy to get into.. I used to lock my keys in my camaro all the time.. a flat 4-5 inch chisel and a coat hanger of the wire variety were all it took :D
egghead
September 23rd, 2003, 06:44 AM
they poked a whole under the keylock in the door so i think it is even easier then your method bb:)
i will have to live with the fact that my car will always be easier to open then a XXXXX (street walker;)

Those professional thieves can do it quick.. but if you want to sell it later, you want to minimize the damage to the car :p

I am hoping to get the same thing.
If they write this one off i will get a newer one with the digital dash and computer ignition keylock.
it will probably be a GTA model.

well the insurance man called me today to say that they have decided that it is not worth repairing the body damage on my car.
it only had some minor dents and the steering column was thrashed and some of the interior.
They have decided to give me a check for $3,015cdn

So what's your plan with that money now?
egghead
September 25th, 2003, 21:30 PM
to find a firebird with t-tops is gonna cost me around $3500 minimum.
that is from the latest local paper.
I might buy a used 47inch wide screen high def tv for $1000
an 89 4x4 jeep for $600 and 3 months insurance for $300
and a 800mhz celeron laptop for $500cdn
egghead
September 26th, 2003, 09:10 AM

celeron 800 mhz toshiba laptop
but i found a car that looks exactly like this
http://www.angelfire.com/creep/egghead/images/all047.jpg

i might be able to get it for $2500 :)
