rx7 thefts??? mines next?!?!

so i get home and my uncle tells me today at lunch time there was someone staring at my rx7 for the longest time, scoping everything out, and when he asked wtf the guys asked if it was for sale... wtf this is got to be the 30th time my family has seen someone "suspiciously" checking out my car... i mean, i dont mind people looking, but they seem to be looking with some kind of intent...

whats with all the goddam rotary thefts lately... thats all i hear about now! makes me paranoid to park it in my own driveway, i would put it in the garage, but theres already one in there and another one in the driveway... and i drive my DD everywhere...

sorry, just had to vent somewhere...

I was thinking the same thing. Seems to be open season for rotary theives. But we know parts are harder to find as time goes on, thats just making a black market for them. I'm putting a gps tracker on mine, then I can follow the ******* and get my 7 back plus whatever else the foos got in their garage as an inconvenience fee. But just as a note, if anyone steals chinkst3r's 7, I call first dibbs.

jk man, but its true, u know how I have to start my 7 every 30-45 minutes at the meets. Thats so it doesn't take me 15 minutes to warm the car up when I do leave. Plus having a 27 yo 7 with a faulty choke, aint' no way someone other than me gonna start that car and drive it within 30 minutes. I tried to leave in a hurry before, and no way, that original Nikki don't work till she's warm and ready, lol.

I gotta electronic kill on my ignition with my security system. unless you got the remote to unlock and activate that bitch, your goin nowhere. And if they try to think of jackin it when I remote start it and let it warm up, heh good luck. The bitch dies when you put it into gear without the keys. My cars goin nowhere !! I hope your ride dont get jacked though. I love my car so I know how you feel bout yours, and someone would have to die...... a horrible and slow death....

Bondo a fake ignition switch next to the real one, put a camera inside, and watch the fun !

Seriously though, one of there ouside the garage, and running on motion recording, you have proof, and since it doesn't have sound it's legal in court as proof. Wireless and records to your Hard Disk @ about $100.00 & Accessible Via Internet, from Work To Watch the Wife wash it for you

LOL at the suggestions. If a real theif wanted to take it, it would be gone in a matter of 15 minutes, even if theres no engine.
