Teacher's Stolen Honda Accord Returned Souped Up with VTEC Engine! [with Video] - Carscoop (http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/04/teacher-stolen-honda-accord-returned.html)
haha awesome
Here's a video relating the story of a New York teacher who had her 1996 Honda Accord stolen 3 years ago. Obviously, she never expected to get the car back.
It turns out that when a car IS stolen (even in Brooklyn), the man is on the case. A little while back, the Accord was found in a chop shop in Queens with the VIN filed off. Luckily, the police still l managed to track the car back to its original owner.
When the woman got it back, the Honda had been updated with a VTEC power train and its transmission was converted over to a stick shift!
And whoever from the AP (and Huffington, for printing it) is thinking that the car got a new V8 engine? Half a second of research prevents looking like you don't know jack.
the painted brakes and headlights, and gauges are ricey, but other then that.

I work at a dodge dealership and every once in a while we get theft recoveries. One time we had a ram come in and who ever stole it put 24 inch wheels on it and an expensive stereo.

a friend of mine got his car stolen and when it was recovered somebody had repainted the front bumper and fenders to get rid of rock chips.

I don't know if they should be driving around in such a fast Honda Accord with that child. They should probably just leave it for the 1\4 mile strip.

Dude, they were running a chop shop.
Do you really think they paid for any of that stuff?
They probably were going to sell it.

It'll come back primered with a huge quarter panel dent, sportmax and megan racing suspension links as loose and floppy as a Paris Hilton's vagina.
