My mate had his one owner RX2 stolen from a panel shop that was fixing it. He recovered it three months later, missing only the speakers that a badge or two. Very lucky. To my knowledge the douchbags never got prosecuted either.

friday night I got home at 1:30am and this was out front of my house with firies and cops blocking the street, was stolen one suburb away, they lost a wheel and came to a rest half off the road, set fire to it and walked off.

that was when i was finishing work at 6am and getting home just after 6am, and noticed his car wasnt there but thought he had gone to work early..which never happens - nd having been so tired it didn't even register when i got into bed next to Luke since he was still sleeping and then he woke me up later n told me the car was stolen...!!!!!

Yes i hate them with a passion. my old daily driver was stolen one weekend while i was away with the GF, she was left on the road outside my parents house. apperently mum woke up when she heard some weird noises coming from outside. looked out the window and saw two scum baggs push the old girl down the hill. ran out side in her dressing gown at 3 in the morning chasing them. dad woke up durin the comotion and hoped in his truck to chase the lil FUKCs he lost them in the industrial estate around the corner. luckily when the sun came up he went for a drive through and found it on the side of the road. it ran out of gas on them only door lock and ignition were buggered.
Got back from the trip to that, went to work on monday worked late till 7, got home and my pride and joy was mising as well, got on the blower to all my mates saying it had been stolen rah di rah.
went for a drive to find it as you do, just out of pure hope. got a phone call from my old flatmate, uh bro im found at "steve's" place and yor car just got towed into is neighbours driveway.
Sweet as i thought got the F'ers. a drive that should of taken 30 mins, took 15.
When we got there they had the driveway blocked and had called some of his local amtes and were waiting with bats and golf clubs in hand. 20 of us waited with baited breath, they dudes even had the nerve to ask what we were doing there and lied to my face saying they had bought the car that day off the owner, the cops came and offeneders were caught and my baby had brand new plugs and leads in her.

Sorry to hear about your car

there is nothing worse than walking out to your car in the morning to see a door ajar and to find all stereo gear gone and all the cd's gone too.
even worse when you have a good idea of who it is and you just cant prove it!!!!

on a lighter note, my mate had his mk1 escort stolen, but when it was recovered by the police he found it had had an oil and filter change, a new stereo installed, and a car cologne air freshener on the dash.
all he had to do was clean the needles and spoons out of the back.

I remember when I first got the car it belonged to my arnt (who crashed it and the company wrote it off), then my cousin had it (the farm next to us) she drove the car for about 2 years, then I saw it and said "that's mine!" when my friend came over one day we went down there and stole it. Then she came and stole it from me this happened about 5 times, then I took it home and painted it that green, she took one look at it and never came again.

My old 351 Fairlane was stolen from my driveway overnight a few years back. Whoever wanted it must have been keen 'coz she had a lumpy cam and double pumper (nice and loud). They had to push it out of the driveway and down the street to start it, otherwise I would have heard it.

I still remember the awkward feeling walking out the front ready for work. Asked everyone in the house if they'd moved my car round the side of the house. 'No', then my reaction, 'F U C K'.

I hate when peoplehave to jack with your stuff. My dad cuaght a kid taking a key to someones cadillac, held on tp the kid until the guy that owned it showed up, then turned the kid over to the owner....bet he never keyed another car. Sorry to hear your ride got messed up . Hope it can be saved.
