It's highly likely that the car was stolen using a tow truck or flatbed. The car doesn't hold an idle when it's cold since it's untuned, so it's not very easy to drive.

 

In that case, there's only one solution. The Mad Max solution.

Lol ^^

 

I've always said, "The best burglar alarm in the world, is the sound of a burglar, screaming."

 

we that is of course if the thief has been stocking your car and observing your security on the car... if you think about it, it was very easy to take off the steering wheel assembly to put on a hub and quick release... and the other way around

 

Or one of these...

 

I have somethinf very similar to this pedal lock i keep on my fc at night. It keeps the pedal from being depressed and ideally un driveable..

I got mine at an auto parts store for less than thirty bucks.

 

thats a good idea but ive seen fools just cut thro the streering wheel to get aroun that.

 

^^ o__O

the one he posted goes around the steel for the brake pedal.

 

ask el camino pd. most cars stolen from there had quick release hubs.

 

This is Matt, I think we should all be aware now that these cars are becoming very popular in the automotive community, I know that a real rotary enthusiast wouldn't even dare doing this to another rotary enthusiast. This is not the only incident that has happened within the last week, whoever is doing this is either really good at stealing cars or is a fake in our community. none the less, he did it.... here is a rundown.


We should all be very careful now when we sell things online, let's not try to make them go to our houses anymore to avoid things like this.
It might sound shady if you say "lets meet somewhere else aside from your place" but its just protecting our best interest.

second of all, if at all possible, park your cars inside! or do something to defer the car from being stolen, we all know that we can unplug one thing on our car and the car won't start. do that as a precautionary measure.

and if anyone knows any information, please contact the Mac family. They have been through alot. They are all good people with good hearts, this is not something that they deserve.

here is another tip.


I have installed a microtech lt8 on the car. blue box. I actually have a trademark on it.... i dont want to give out too much but if you see a microtech lt8 in the market. let us know... I also have the map saved from that car.

 

friend had that, we got the car back with a destroyed transmission and the clutch sensor was cut so they could start the car, guessing the just revved up and forced it into each gear.....

as for OP, ill keep my eyes out down here in san diego for any parts that may pop up, sorry for your loss, best of luck

 

Then why did they break into the car? I work at a dealership and I see car all the time that have no key and come off flatbed's. I mean who breaks into a car just to tow it.

Whoever stole the car is some ricer loser I'm in Pasadena I'll keep a eye and a ear out for ya.

 

Thanks gents, crossing my fingers for the car.

It was his first TII, and a 10th Anni at that!

 

the law favors these *************.. with slap on the wrist penalties, a few years in prison, than a 2nd chance to start over.. **** that, off with their hands! and penises so they dont reproduce! lol

 

heres a more recent pic of his car, if it helps

 

I pretty much ***** the zilvia wheels/tires section daily, and I will definitely keep an eye out for these. best of luck, rx guys keep your guard up.

 

I'll keep an eye out in the valley although I doubt it'll be in this area. Course you never know.


Also, everyone should have a hidden fuel pump switch installed on their car. It won't stop a determined thief with a flatbed but it'll stop the chuckle-heads with a lock pick set (or window-breakers). Some folks pull the fuel pump relay after they park.


Mechanical they'll cut/adapt, electrical they'll try for a bit and move on.

 

Yeah I want to do that, I just don't know how or where to do it?

 

wow that sucks. I'll keep an eye open since you're close by me.

I should park my FB inside now before is too late....

 

LoJack? Anyone ever had one? All hype, or just too much $$?

 

^^ you can get onstar installed on other machines.

 

the SSR are 5 lug right?
