Long Sad Day.

[James]

Well today seemed like any other day, then my Car was stolen. In Broad Daylight, and within an hour it was driven 10km away, brutally ripped apart, destroyed and found by the police. Im still in shock and i cant beleive my car looked like that. Im absolutly disgusted..... I'll add more later as to whats going on.:(

'86 Toyota MR2.....

[RX-7_TWINTURBO]

Time for some vigilalante action :guns:

[FiveFreshFish]

My condolences.

Shitty situation but at least they found it right away. My MR-2 wasn't found until 26 months after it had been stolen.

[Melinda]

OMG JAMES! Just when you were trying to sell it! Seriously hun, I couldn't feel any worse for you...if you need ANYTHING, please let me know. Keep smiling and hang in there, better days will come :)

[AenimA]

[ecstasy_civic]

[James]

Im not gonna post where I was when it was stolen just yet, waiting to here whats happening with the police and insurance. But It was locked, or atleast im pretty damn sure it was, I dont think i have EVER forgot to lock my car...when they found it, EVERYTHING was smashed. NOTHING interior/extreior wise is salvagable

It should be covered, i just hope sooner than later, because of the fact that im only 19 and didnt have collision coverage on my car i cant get a Rental ( my insurance actually would have covered up to $30/day for 30 days,which i thought was nice)

For now im just gonna pick up an MK2 VW to get me around for a while( maybe i wont bag the shit out of it, like i did my MR2, lol).....and get myself back on my feet, an MK2 MR2 is in my future though, realistically it'll probably be a couple years down the road, but i will own one eventually, I just want to move out of the parents house first,before i think about spending over $15,000 on a car.im only 19 remember!.

Yep. I finally got paid out after 5 weeks. Had to bitch at them about their initial offer and it took them that long to come up with a second offer.

Over two years later, the cops called and said "your car has been found." I went down to the impound lot with my video camera and shot maybe a minute of tape. Then I called the insurance company and said, "your car has been found." :D

I'll post the video if I can transfer it from tape to mpg.

[max_boost]

Sorry to hear bro!!!

[szw]

So they didn't steal stuff, just trashed it?

[James]

No, they took the Cd player,new simple lookin $300 Pioneer one, and about 30-50 Cd's.....I had left my Damn Face plate on and most of the Cd's were visible on the sun visors things...... so maybe there was some incentive to steal it i guess.....but the trashing the hell out of it didnt make too much sense....used MY TIRE IRON too!,:banghead: the cops found it near by and are dusting it for prints.

[CRXguy]

oh chit! sorry to hear man.

[ZorroAMG]

I am sorry to hear about your incident. Do not rely on the police to dust for prints. They won't do that on a car because there are usually too many different prints on a car parked in public. Pedestrians wlking by may touch it, friends riding inside touch it etc... Apparently we, the general public, watch too much CSI and all the fingerprint dusting is too Hollywood to get used in these situations :(

[/////AMG]

Sorry to hear man, maybe you'll get to see who they are once the're caught, then we have a beyond meet lol.
Atleast you're calm about it :thumbsup: many people would have just gone crazy, good job man.

You should NEVER leave your faceplate on or have anything of value in sight, there is absolutely no benefit in doing so.
Detaching your plate takes 5 seconds TOPS. :banghead:
Always assume some prowler is going to look in your car everytime you park it. :)

I don't understand the smashing up part, maybe just looking for a cheap thrill (I see kids at pick-your-part doing it sometimes) or someone who doesn't like you and attacked your car. It could also be those guys who broke into your car long ago for your stereo stuff.

I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune. :(

[girlRACER]

:eek: I'm sorry to hear about everything James :( Hope everything gets sorted out for you.

[ninjak84]

That's unbelievable man.......

Keep me updated, I'll give you a call later or something.

[Hash_man]

Damn dude that sucks.

You should get one of your parents to get the rental, and drive their car... thats what my sister did when her car was rear ended, cuz she was only 18.

I didnt think they were going to dust for prints, but they said they were taking the tire iron.

I know, I normally take the faceplate off if im only in my house for 10 minutes....the whole broad daylight and being in a familiar place thing kinda gave me some sense of security....look whos the fool now.

Good idea, but my parents insurance is messed up becuase of some old DUI charges my dumb ass step dad got, so i cant drive thier vehicles.

[redline_13000]

Shit bro sorry to hear. Hopefully they catch those fukers.

[theken]

well u have to ask the cops for the tire iron back, after they are finished, and if they find the pricks, we can beat them with the tire iron, the pool cue, then we can run them over :thumbsup: shove the tire iron up their asses, and drive them to a secluded area in the chester van, put a stalk of corn up their ass strip em down and make them find their way home naked with corn in their ass :thumbsup:

by the way, very sad sight this car, what was once a cool lil MR2, is now almost like a fiero

Hopefully insurance is good to you, and you'll find yourself a new ride soon.

[GTS Jeff]

[Kamen]

Ouch man, I'm so sorry to hear that...
What's going on in Calgary? Car crimes seem to be going up?
It doesn't seem as bad here in Vancouver...

Yep, growing population = growing crime :thumbsdow Lower mainland is bad too, I'm guessing that's where most of the stolen custom compacts from Calgary go to be stripped and parts sold.

[RiceCake]

Damn sorry to hear that James!

Man I think those MKI MR2's were one of the easiest cars to steal. I know many people who had those stolen from them.

I can't believe people would want to smash the shit out of your car though.

I'm scared of parking outside now :eek: Must get home before my sister hogs the garage spot. :banghead:

[008]

I'm sorry to hear.

Old toyota's are so easy to steal.. I swear any Corolla GTS key can open probably 80% of the doors on another GTS. Gotta get a decent alarm system and replace the locks soon..

[5.9 R/T]

That sucks man, hope everything works out for ya.

[James]

My Insurance company called today and they had an insurance adjuster go look at the car, he claimed that there was no damage to the steering collum, therefore thinking that a key was used to start it:confused:.....i was down at the impound lot today clearing out some stuff from the car( random crap in the glove box) and the whole plastic peice around the ignition was busted off and there are cut/loose wires.

[theken]

well, im a witness to that. and i think it is time to play pool !!!

[nickyh]

I know the feeling of being violated!
Shit - we work for our stuff, pay our insurance like good boys and girls and this is the thanks we get. Punks taking our stuff and trashing it!

What really sucks is no matter how good of an alarm system we have, there is always a way around it.

We should strap 'em on the rae circuit at Race City and give them what they are looking for.
Maybe after they've licked up all our burnt rubber they'll understand our feelings.

[Skyline_Addict]

well that really sucks.
i wonder why people would go to levels and do things like that.
i've never had a car stolen from me before, but you totally have my sympathy if not my true understanding of your situation.

[EstoMax]

damn... that sucks hardcore... so insurance said that they used a key to start the car? is that gana jeopardize ur pay in any way?

max

[James]

This is turning into a nightmare. The Steering collum is ovbiously wrecked, the insurance company wants to send someone out to interview me and obtain the police report, which i could care less, thier just fucking me around and trying to take thier time.

[BigShow]

Sorry to hear this shit happen to you.

It's actually sickening...:barf:

[James]

Has anyone been screwed around before by an insurance company when your car has been stolen?....I dont know what else to do to try and get this resolved quicker......plus the cop i talked to said that he valued my car at $2000 on his report, which is a joke, but he said "oh it dosnt matter anyway, the insurance company wont look at it" :rolleyes: right. just my luck.

[GTS Jeff]

call a-channel...im sure they have some consumer protection program on their daily news or some shit..

[SinisterProbeGt]

Hey dude I saw your car at the calgary auto savalge auction yesterday. looks nasty why did the smash up all the windows. actually when I first saw it, it looked like it was in a drive by then I saw the Beyond.ca sticker on the rear drivers side window and thought of this post.
