Just read that in the Herald.

The stolen cars that were mentioned on this board, none of them were torched though. I wonder if any of them were related.

I heard that on the radio friday too. I can't believe that 250 Honda's to date have been stolen here :dunno: I guess they target the mid 1990's with no anti-theft systems.

I wonder if those guys owned a shop, or if the police found out who they sold all the parts to.
