damn it guys what days are we living in when my project coupe gets stolen form the front of my house in the middle of the day. it doesnt even run, it has no motor or trans, has a silvia front with no headlights. Let me tell you guys the little i know my aunt comes into my room and tells me if i was getting my car towed i say no and get up to go check whats the hell she is talking about in the 30 seconds it took her to walk to my room and it took me to walk outside my car is gone. my neighbor asks if i was looking for the tow truck and she tells me what direction it went in. i called the cops and went the same way the tow truck went and found nothing. now my project car is probably getting chopped up and the parts i had in the trunk are porbably being sold for next to nothing because the idiots dont know what they are. i filled a report but i doubt i will find anything.beware of 80's looking tow trucks that say not for hire painted grey and black.

cusco rucas, tanabe sustec 7's, and brick headlights. my buddy club exhaust was still on the car, and so were some automters eilver guages, i had my nismo copper mix clutch and light wwight flywheel in there also. im pretty sure it was some of the lowlifes that pick up cars and just go junk them. in all honesty what i want most is the shell. i put in a lot of work in the body to get it ready for pain which i just bought last week. i also had 5 lug rear hubs in the trunk

it was parked on the street only because im working on a guys car right now, and as far as tags go they were expired but my girlfriends works for the local pd and they did not tow it.

You guys in Cali know what the trucks look like now though. Good luck getting your car man sucks when this shit happens. If I was in Cali I would be pulling over every tow truck I see with a 240 on it and calling the cops just because I can.

12-04-2007, 04:10 PM
no pics of what it looks like now i have pics of what it look like a few months ago, but now the driver side door and quarter panel are primered blak and the pass quarter has a lil bit of exposed bando because of the body work i was doind and the rear have about 1/2 fender pull. i just hope te wheels fall of since it only had 2 lug nuts on each rim and they were only hand tightened

Turning into? Where have you been? Its been this way for at least a year or more. Now its just sliding into a much worse situation than before. It sucks. Can't get the cars insured for the proper amount from 98% of the Insurance companies out there. Cops looking at the cars like they are a ticket waiting to happen. Kids to poor to buy their parts stealing peoples cars for their parts. Thats it in a nutshell.

so it didnt just get towed?? if it was a shell a neighbor might have thought it was abandoned and just called a tow company....I know at my college they tow cars all the time and dont notify you at all....they just come and take it

Damn that sucks. Sorry to hear about it bro. It really pisses me off to know that something you work hard for get taken away by some jackhole that can't earn a decent living.
The way it is around here and I was told this by a cop is that if you don't report your car stolen in the first 5 minutes of it being gone its like 90% chance you wont recover it. Just because we are so close to Mexico.
Well best of luck to you bro. Ill keep an eye out as best I can.

Although the neighbor towing thing is highly unlikely, esp if it hasnt been in the street for a long period of time without moving. Not to mention the truck said "Not for hire" right on it, most trucks have the company they work for on it. It wouldnt hurt to go door to door and ask any neighbors if they saw anything.

yeah i asked my neighbors one saw the same thing my aunt saw, and i know for a fact it was not towed for any parking issues because the police department goes through 2 tow truck companies onee bing orange and the other being blue. none are grey and they all use newer model tow trucks

if your tags were expired and its pretty much a shell, im sure it was towed happened to my friends car though it was jacked but ended up being towed cause they didnt put it in the local police system that it was towed

if it was a repo company they would have reported to the police first before they took it. happened to me once. only had $2000 left to pay on it.....fucking bastards
georgesal
12-08-2007, 01:56 PM
most repo man use new towtrucks or even pick up trucks with modified bed. this was and early 80's pick truck and they did not repo it they stole it the police department says that they get cases like this on average of one every 2 weeks, and that its not likely i'll recover it. im looking to replace ansd start over once again so if you have or know someone who has a cheap coupe let me know

This is getting pretty rediculous. I dont really understand why they would jack this car seeing as how its just a shell, when they could just as easily stole a complete car. They probably dont know what it is and just want to scrap it for the metal.
ericcastro
12-12-2007, 11:59 AM
They probably didnt know it wasn't running.
But regardless, this is the way cars are getting stolen these days. So all our kill switches aren't going to fight against a trailer or hitched truck.
Over on 240sxforums, this happened to a guy as well. They tow guys wore blue dickies uniforms and even talked to a neighbor while getting the 240 on the flat bed. Broad daylight!
Or how about the 3 240's that got taken at the top of GMR (canyon here in LA), at gun point!!
Our cars are now the thing to do. So be careful everyone!! My christmas present from my mom is a car alarm :)
And sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Someone needs to put a 240 shell on the side of the road without tags and leave it there while having someone watch with a shotgun out of site. Rediculous.
