Hey, that's the same car I began eyeballing to be my 1st real car....
hmm if I can help dude i will totally check if that's your car, let me know more info(VIN) and distinctive traits since I was about to go check it out anyways.

Hope I can help since I don't feel like having my 1st car being a stolen one...

-Edit: just called him, got an appointment set with him this tuesday after 6:00pm
Let me know quick so i can check for you

it does seem suspicious/coincidental that the left door was swapped out and they broke the door handle while breaking in.

Well I can't tell right away because of the interior, but the exterior looks really similar to mine. Given the fact that the car has been stolen for about 2 weeks, lots of interior things could have been replaced.

If I went there in person, I can tell if it was my car or not by looking for the small defects only I knew about the car.

Well if you do go there please go fast, or tell me the VIN so I can check for you myself as I am checking out the car tomarrow....
Sorry if I am rushing it but If its not a stolen car I want to buy it as soon as possible...for before someone does... :S

Interesting...

Well I went....and interestingly the seller didn't show up, called and he said he's at his friend's house 30 miles off buying and putting parts on the FC.....
Don't even know why is he even doing that to a car he's about to sell....
But whatever.....I'm done with this guy.

It totally might be your car, maybe he's buying new parts(changing parts) so it'll look different who knows.....

I say you should totally hit him up and take a look.
Anyways hope you find your car soon.

Call the police, and tell them you have reason to belive that car is yours, they can have an investigator go to their house, check the VIN of that car and verify if its yours or not.

that craigslist add is now expired. I'm willing to bet if that car being sold is stolen, that phone number belongs to one of those pre-paid phones where the numbers cant be traced.

can you change the vin on your car??? O.o

Yeah he probably registered a few accoutns on this forum him and his friends, and theyre viewing this to make sure they wont get caught. Well, Ice'd i urge u to call the police and have them send an investigator to his place of residence for further questioning.

The listing expired already?... this is all to suspicious, and there is no way this is a coincidence. this has to be your car..

Great example of why not to post sightings of parked cars on the forum.... I read one a little while ago about which lot at a college a RX was parked. That's just yelling "come steal me".

You never know who might be lurking on this forum and reading where sightings place parked RX's

We should move this thread to the west lounge. You need 100 posts to get in there.. and any new guys on the forum won't be able to see.. If any sting goes down I'm so down to check it out! And the Craigslist ad is not expired yet I can still see it! Good Luck and let me know if there is anything I can do to help
