[FaLKoN240]

Man, that sucks, they probably hunted you down for your list of mods. I hope you catch them, your car is alot better than most of the cars that get stolen, my condolences.

[projekt_s13]

More info on what kind of alarm you had. Cuz its making me be scared for my 240.

[steve shadows]

"Welcome to the Jungle we've got fun and games, we've got eve..."

LA - sigh

hope it works out man, I put an APB out to everyone.

I always use that auto lock + if i can some sort of alarm and part it in a safe well lit area and make sure the steering column is locked.

Keep my S13 from getting stolen once.

Found the car wiht the ingintion cyinder jarred and the hood open, like they were checking for the SR! :eek:

[usdm180sx]

What the f_ck?? Sorry to hear that Richard. What comes around goes around. I hope the thieves get caught and I hope you get your car back.

[s13coupedrfter]

I'll keep a lookout in the LAX area, that car is to dope not to remember

[richardxfeng]

Guys, thank you all for the kind words. There was nobody came to check out the car after I listed it. And I didn't give out my address either. So I think most likely it's done by some thieves that saw my car on craigslist or cars.com as 240FaLKoN said.

[k0uki]

damn sorry to hear bro, ill keep an eye out in norcal if anything

[luisgonz]

Damn man Its gtting closer to the hood. I liked it better no one would bother my 240's and fc3s. But now i have alot emo kids coming up to me and saying you drift. I reply In your moms mouth. Haha.:keke: Dont worry dude Im keeping a close eye in my hood. I have your number so if i see something I will call you.Once again sorry to hear about you loss.

[srkxxdenjin]

dam that sucks! sorry to hear...i'll be on the lookout for your car around hollywood and san fernando valley!

[drift freaq]

ya , rule of thumb, when selling a car. Don't let them come to your house meet them someplace public.I have had some strange calls when selling cars recently and there are definitely some whack people coming out of the woodwork when it come to 240's man. Seriously like I posted earlier I will keep an eye out in my area cause this shit is wrecking our community.

[Drift Motion]

wtf is with L.A......so many 240 getting stolen lately

[KA24DESOneThree]

My condolences on your loss. I hope you get that car back in one piece, it's damn clean. I'll keep my eyes open down south.

[Flybert]

Richard, sorry to hear about this man. I'll definitely keep a look out for your car and for the parts if they go up for sale online. Richard is a super trustworthy guy and this shit pisses me off that it happened to him.

[~Split~]

sorry to hear about your car and hope you find it soon. :tweak:


Split

[punxva]

damn man that sux, especially since you were tryin to sell it

[catchmydrifts14]

I'm sorry to hear about your car. I'll keep a look out. I'm in the LA area and on the road a lot for work.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Keep an eye out for an engine swap that has lots of mods, or worst yet, a whole clip. If you think LAs bad, the Bays getting as much shit as you guys.

[DC5 SLEEPER]

what the hell is going on with all these car thefts. these crooks need to get caught in the act and catch a nice beating.

[miucus]

mann sorry to hear about your car.. ill be on the look out in the OC areas.

[S14Josh]

I doubt it will come this way through the u.s. but i'll keep an eye out here in vegas. Would be pretty easy to spot your car through the rest of the shit vegas has.

Sorry about your loss =[

[evilways]

Man that suks! Saw that car on craigslist for awhile. I agree you gotta be careful with who you invite to your house for sale of vechicle. I've been buying, building and selling cars for awhile and believe me there's no car a thief can't get! Just my two cents

[revd34]

i live near L.A. makes me think that their is no point in modifying my car anymore if it is just going to get stolen. my brothers car got stolen too a while back.

[Calabria]

ill keep a look out in the valley and thousand oaks area
wasnt this car for sale?

[srkxxdenjin]

i agree with Evil thats why im tryin to keep my car as stock as possible. thats why i took off my enkei rims and put on the stock ones but yea what is the deal with all these 240s getting stolen lately fuck aye im afraid for my car now =[ again richard im sorry for your loss and i hope you get your car in one piece...

[worangejuice]

Sorry to hear about your car homey. What part in west LA was it? Have the police found it yet? The cars are usually stripped and dumped like in the first 5 hours or so. I hope your car turns up with the assholes in jail! My old hatch was stolen from Santa Monica and ended up in South Central like 1-2 days. Took everything aftermarket. So I hope your car is fully insured and maybe you can sell it back after you get it. Fuck! I had a guy give me props on my car as he walked by and now I 'm keepin an eye out. For giving me props! I hate this shit, seriously. GL with your 240 homey!

[CA18_S13]

Damn sorry to hear.

i hope you find it in one piece.

[the bee guy]

What did you have Security-wise? )Asking for future reference of what works and doens't)

My car ALMOST got stolen a few months back in LA but i guess the thieves got scared off or something. I was at a friends house (lives off of Van Ness) and i came out to go home at about 3am. Chirped my alarm and it did the warning that tells if someone messed with it. So i got to my car and the door was half open and the dome light was on. Absolutely nothing missing though. Guess they got scared off when they opened the door and the alarm went off because my Alarm LED doesnt work so they probably thought i didnt have one. Not saying alarms are gonna keep your car from getting stolen, but it helps. A towtruck/flatbed is all they need though. Since then I added a few more kill switches and moved my hood cable handle and such, planning on doing more very soon since more and more people are getting their 240's stolen =( =( =( I was hoping it wouldnt get as bad as it is in the Honda scene but I can see it will soon =(

[sileighty83]

damn clean ass s13 I hope u recover it... f-ing car jackers need to die

[RotaryHog]

Damn that's a tuff one.
Sorry to hear you lost it.
Lot's of mods on there.
Fuckin theives.
I'll keep my eye out. Keep an eye out for the parts on www.craigslist.com
It seems a handful of poeple have been arrested for selling either drugs, stolen goods, or setting up people to get robbed from that site. It's the freakin ghetto hood of online sales. haha

Good luck.

[downshift_sideways]

I think its time for GPS hidden tracking devices in our cars..

Sorry about the loss bro, I'll keep a lookout up here in the bay area

[prang11]

Tears, Such a nice car. I hope everything pops up, or atleast something.

Hopefully you had insurance for more than the base of it.

For everyone that dosn't know. You can add additional insurance coverage for aftermarket upgrades on a vehicle. Call your insurance company and ask about it. If they dont offer it then change companies. If they do, pay the payment so if this happens to you, you can start over (with some cash). Too many people underestimate the importance on insurance.

[GSXRJJordan]

Damn just met Richard today and realized this thread was his... totally cool guy, made my gut wrench thinkin about takin a total loss on my s13. Keep eyes out and fingers crossed ~

be careful my fellow zilvians...stay cautious! too many bad people out there!!

[brown eyes]

Wow, another 240SX. Seems like everytime I visit this forum, theres always a new thread about someone somewhere getting jacked. You have quite a few unique items on your 13. I would start checking ebay, craigslist, recycler for those parts. I'm sure they'll surface around here. Good luck.

[richardxfeng]

UPDATE: A tow yard in Lancaster just called me that they have my car there. They need to check what are missing on it. Hopefully the engine is still in it.

Do the people work in the tow yard take parts off the car? I ask this because I cannot go there until Thursday.

[SC_S13]

they shouldnt without your permission....
hope it works out man.

[SlowCoupe]

yea if they are shady. just pay an early visit if you know where the yard is at.

[richardxfeng]

The tow yard just gave me a call. They said the car is striped. So whoever wants to buy a shell. You can go there with me on Thursday. Otherwise I will junk the car.

[sr20det4mys13]

dude sorry for your lose.. that was a sick car ill keep a look out in the oc, for sure, i dont know why but this reminds me of the tv infomercial with the lock that u put on your break.. but yeah.. i remember when i was younger we went to a party.. and two tow trucks took like 3 cars in a pretty quick time.. but i think its getting harder and harder to secure your car from getting stolen, cuz it only takes a couple hours to drop the engine,, so we need to find some kind of resolution.. latah

[xfactoraeg]

damn man, what a shame. sorry to hear and hope karma gets those low lives 10X!

[s13gold]

damn...all the way in lancaster, and you said you live in west LA..thats like a 2hr drive. Did the tow yard say where it was found?

[handinpants]

well we need to get a group buy lo jack... or upgrade to an ultra loud alarm speaker and glock package...
