[FaLKoN240]

Aw fuck that sucks :(

[zooopreme]

You should know better not to park in the streets surrounding CSUN.

Anyway, I hope you find it soon. People in the Valley need to start having a GPS device or at least a camera somewhere. It has to be the same assholes who have been running thefts around our neck of the woods.

[Terence_Frazier]

man i live right there and park my 240 there :O im kind of scared now....i will be on the look out for it!

[240sideways]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[818 ZENKI]

CSUN area is notorious for car thefts and vandalism. Sucks they targeted your car. Best of luck finding it.

[zooopreme]

[DreamN]

^ werd. Hoping it was still being driven around by the thief in order to catch him.

[AnthonysSilvia]

[xkirex]

This thread is going to be intense. I hope you sneak up on the mother fucker and beat him with a bat. I Fkin despise car theives

Lets all roll up and take your shit back with interest! PM with the address I want to check this out myself.

[Maiku240sxS14]

WTF? He got his car back already. Oh and by the way "Your Welcome".

[FunnyVictor86]

WTF? He got his car back already. Oh and by the way "Your Welcome".

Are you stating that he got it back or asking?

[Mishkin_707]

Where the hell is the update? Was it all intact or stripped? What!?!?

[240sideways]

Big thanks to Maiku240sxS14 for finding my car. Im sorry I wasn't able to thank you again any sooner. I was very depressed about the situation I didn't want to associate with anything for awhile. Thanks for your help.

As for everyone else I will post pictures and details to what happened in a minute. Stay tuned..

Her name is Mary Kate because she is the second white hatch I owned. My first one I sold to my friend and her name was Ashley.

I last saw her parked where I left her in Northridge by CSUN on the streets of Zelzah and Lassen under this 40mph sign on Saturday 11:30 P.M.
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/CILIEAIN/255479_10151113966719701_2141120522_n.jpg

I woke up the next morning on my way to church. Sunday 10:00 A.M. I walk out and discover my car was gone.
Filed a police report and made this silvia stolen car post.
Thanks to Maiku240sxS14 he found my car and gave me a call Monday morning at 8:55 A.M. and 9:01 A.M. and I missed it. He called me again at 11:18 A.M. and told me the bad news.
Its on De Foe Ave in Pacoima between the streets of Pierce St and Airpark Way by Whiteman Airport.
I drove to the location to see it sitting there missing my Kouki tails of course but my exhaust and wheels still on?!?!?! Im not upset I get to keep those but why?
Anyways I was very devastated and had mixed emotions. Its very had to see my baby stripped down of all her goods.
For safety I watched from a distance and called police.
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/CILIEAIN/IMG_1497.jpg
I waited about 20 minutes and they finally came to check the car for my first making sure there were no bombs weapons or any suspicious drugs and etc.http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/CILIEAIN/IMG_1498.jpg
Car was clear. They let me take a look to see what I have left :'(
Attention!!! The following images are disturbing..

Idk what to say...what I loss? What they left?
They left my stock motor. I thought they would take it. For a 1993 bone stock engine with only 152,XXX Miles is pretty rare to find. They also left my Nismo brace, cusco tension rods, HKS exhaust and my SSR mesh wheels. They also left my LSD and kouki metal panel which you desperately need -_____- the did take the cusco coil overs and left me some aftermarket shocks...blue ones. they were nice enough.. the scene was every car tuners nightmare..

BEFORE and AFTER
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/CILIEAIN/405305_10151117337984701_2100767604_n.jpg

I had my own towing company tow it back to my mechanic.
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/CILIEAIN/photo.jpg
We are currently in the process of putting it back together better than ever.
She'll be back on the road.

[XxHybridx]

damn...sorry to hear that bro. but in honestly, i wanna say u got a little lucky. They could've have taken the wheels and some other stuff. maybe i missed it but i dunno if they took your coilovers. But if they didn't the biggest loss would be the tail lights but those can be replaced. or did they really take the time to take the wheels off and take the coils and put stock suspension and put ur wheels back. You'll be back on the road in no time bud.

[eljc]

i want to cryyyyy!

[KiLLeR2001]

Wow, is there a shortage of interior parts or something these days? Your engine bay looks intact and the interior gutted... Body still looks in the same condition so thats definitely a plus. Glad you got the car back. Most people never get to see their car again.

edit:

Also, ALARM SYSTEM + KILL SWITCHES!!! Start planning your car's security now.

[wacko2]

have they check for finger prints on the doors or anywhere on the car

[240sideways]

Seriously they took a bunch of stuff thats worth less than $100 a piece. Biggest loss was the coils and tail lights.
I am planning its next security. Already in the process.
No I refused to do that. It would lag my rebuilt time be to much of a hassle and not even match any prints registered to the DMV.

[240sideways]

So does anyone have any idea why they would leave me the valuable parts they left?

I was expecting to lose more but I guess I'm just thankful I was able to retrieve half my stuff. I also lost a lot of sentimental things that don't even have to do with the car :/

This is so sad..

[Mishkin_707]

Sorry to hear that, luckily you got it back with some potential to put her back on the road, sad these fucks steal a car for a stock interior and some tail lights

[818 ZENKI]

Atleast it still runs
Good luck on getting her back to her fomer glory

[240sideways]

She will be back. Maybe even better. Idk if I should post updated photos here or not. The crooks might be lurking this forum.

[LockOn!]

So does anyone have any idea why they would leave me the valuable parts they left?

This is so sad..

Honestly, possibly to freshen up their own? Traded you suspension and tails and decided to un-gut their interior? AKA only took what they needed.

Weird. Glad you got it back though.

[tdaffern]

Damn those pics make me sad. Shit pisses me off. People put so much time and love into something for some punk ass to just take it. Up side is you got it back with some stuff still on it. Good luck getting her back together man.

[240sideways]

Thank you guys. She will be back. I guarantee it.

[Bushido]

Dude, at least your shit isn't at the bottom of a canal somewhere. All the stuff they took can be replaced for a couple grand, fuckin sucks but most people that get their shit jacked never get it back.

[240sideways]

I know I'm lucky enough to retrieve whats still on the car. What they did is still depressing..

[DreamN]

Definitely seems like someone stole yours to pretty up their own. Possibly someone you know or have met. Because to go through the trouble of taking off panels, seats, dash, and swapped coils (wtf?), but leave you your wheels and exhaust just seems odd.

It's like they raped you, but were nice enough to lube you and even give you a reach around.

[240sideways]

Seriously thats what I was thinking..I can't think around it. It just seems so odd.

[EatSleepDriftS13]

Damn those Bastards! At least you got your car back and it will be greater than ever in time. Things always work out for the best in time. Scares me though are cars look so similar.

[zooopreme]

She will be back. Maybe even better. Idk if I should post updated photos here or not. The crooks might be lurking this forum.

Don't go and do that. I'm certain that the location that they stole your car at is where you reside & that's probably where you always park. Don't be dumb & post what they can take again.

Good to see you got the car back. I would be upset/depressed too.

Check craigslists for certain parts. Don't rule out that they may be selling those parts that they took or the parts that they replaced.

[JaysPerformance]

Damn dude that sucks. That's why I got cameras to protect my stuff. 41917
I'll be head hunting if anything happened to my coupe 41918.

Glad you got your car back cause some people end up with nothing. It's insane some people steal stuff rather then working for it. I work hard just for someone to come around and take my belongings. :/

[devilishg]

Damn Zilvia still has some decent people, thats crazy how a fellow member found the car and went to such a length.

[kornaz]

Glad You found it in decent shape. Weird shit is that, that they DID leave the wheels and exhaust, engine etc. Something is not matching up. Unless, they were just some 15-ish or so year old crooks. G'luck getting it back together. Invest in the damn security - every single stolen thread mentions that the owner had neither - alarm or kill bitches. (:

[FunnyVictor86]

Damn dude that sucks. That's why I got cameras to protect my stuff. 41917

It's probably not a good idea to let people know you have surveillance cameras. If thief's are lurking the forums (I'm sure they are) then all that's going to do is give them the heads up. That's almost as bad as telling people about your kill switches. You have to be smarter than these thieves.

[DreamN]

Possible reason why they didn't take the wheels and exhaust is because if they were trying to unload it on a forum or Craigslist it'd probably be a dead give away. The rest of the items could be easily parted with no worries. If OP's dash was super clean I'd keep an eye out for that.

Though could simply be these folks didn't have access to a jack, stands, and cinder blocks at the time.

People are definitely from the area as well. Not many people would have thought of ditching that car there. Hell, location is good enough to even do a full strip down of the car there without people noticing or caring.

[mpact1981]

i want to install a remote/concealed tazer under the dash so at the push of a button it flys out to deliver 1,000's of volts right in the dick of the prick who tries to steal my car. i guess having some kind of camera in the visor to record his reaction would be pretty cool too... lol

[11Banger]

This is sicking, i don't own a S anymore but putting your hard work into something & having some take it from you sucks...

Thieves are the fucking worse man

[93 240sx]

That sucks

[PureRush]

Yooooo wtf tell us the story

[DreamN]

^ there's a story to tell?

[240sideways]

Just scroll up..

[240sideways]

or read the whole thing

[racepar1]

Josh has been a long time customer of mine. I built his S13 from a stock auto car to what you see in the pics above. As such I have kind of a personal attachment to it. What happened to Josh is bullshit. Looking at the car, the guys who stole it were complete morons. The way they stole it was half-assed, the way they stripped it was way half-assed, and the way that they made it roll again so that they could dump it was even dumber. If I ever found out who stole this car I would show them how to steal a car right, because I am POSITIVE that they own an s-chasis so I hope they read this post.

They stripped the interior pretty good. Dash, doorpanels, and seats are all gone. They also took the tails and the coilovers, BUT they did leave quite a few parts on the car, including the lower panel for the kouki tails (dumbasses...). The exhaust and the rest of the suspension, powertrain, and exterior is un-touched. The funny thing is that when they took the coilovers they didn't put some blown-ass stock shocks back on it. It has a set of tokico blues and some blue lowering springs on it. This is how I am positive that whoever stole this car actually owns an s-13 themselves. They were dumb enough to leave their old suspension on it. Here is a list of STOLEN parts to be on the lookout for...

-CLEAN dash, doorpanels, and S14 seats (all charcoal/ DARK grey color)
-black NRG short hub and v2 quick release with a sparco steering wheel
-cusco front and rear strut bars
-cusco shift knob (white delrin ball knob)
-GT spec c-pillar bar
-kouki tail lights without the lower metal panel
-chuki 1/2 amber lights
-Cusco coilovers (don't remember the model, but they're recent)

That's pretty much it. Just keep your eye out for that guy who all of a sudden happened to come-up on all these exact parts by complete coincidence. He'll probably be out at the meets showing it all off and looking for the next score...

[Damado93]

lmfao wwhat a bunch or tards... they take the wheels off with for the suspension and put other suspension and wheels back??

best thieves ever...

btw im Paolo's hommie and John the one who filmed your car a while back...

im very happy to see you got it back with just the fixable things..

better than seeing your car with just the frame on some blocks or in a ditch fucked up...

idiots like these who have no shame for shit... stupid jack ass fucks....


gl with your build man.... if there is anything ican do to help you out.. hit Paolo (Fabregar) btw... peacee

[FunnyVictor86]

I doubt you'll be seeing anything for sale online. Chances are those all of parts are on his s13. Keep an eye out for an idiot with kouki tails but no matching lower panel lol. Sounds like it's probably some punk ass honda head that just came into the nissan scene and doesn't know his shit. What an idiot!

[first_choice]

i enjoy a nice repossession story

[HyperTek]

man i bet theres someone on this forum rocking that shit on their car, seems like they just wanted a quick grab at the tail lights and interior pieces... someone restoring their car.. fuck that

man this is why i hate the 240sx game now, its some other 240 owners who did it.

[KiLLeR2001]

Make a habit of making a discreet mark on the not so common parts or something that way if you ever come across your parts for sale, you can check them out, and if you see the secret markings you made, you can nail those fucks.

[wangan_cruiser]

Keep an eye on who you hang out on meets. A friend of a friends friend can be shady at times.

[240sideways]

I know thats what I was thinking also. But weird thing is I haven't been to a meet in a good long while so I'm trying to backtrack who it could be. Smh. These guys aren't cool. No respect for peoples hard work. Receiving credit for my sweat. For the record I know all the little marking involving all my parts. Ive owned them since 2008. Thats including interior. Shame on you who has MY parts.

Keep an eye on who you hang out on meets. A friend of a friends friend can be shady at times.

[racepar1]

Keep an eye on who you hang out on meets. A friend of a friends friend can be shady at times.

Honestly I doubt that his car was marked at a meet. As far as I can tell this was a total opportunity grab. There was no planning and terrible execution. The only thing they did right is not getting caught. I can, however, pretty much guarantee that said theif is out at the meets looking for scores though. Anyone who goes to meets needs to be very aware of who is looking at their car, what they are looking at, and who'se behind you on the way home. If you spot someone staring at your liscence plates or vin number then you know their interested in more than just looking. Just be aware everyone. 240's are pretty much the easiest cars ever to steal and there is a lot of people out there looking to steal it. Honeltly that had a large part to do with my decision to stop going to meets after the 818 meet died and now I don't even own a 240 anymore.

[240sideways]

If anyone happens to see some of these exact aftermarket parts on another 240 around the San Fernando valley please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

[chokudoriS13]

If anyone happens to see some of these exact aftermarket parts on another 240 around the San Fernando valley please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

Are you in that building in the "40mph sign" pic? Many years ago, a friend lived in the apartment in that pic (the balcony next to the sign) and even back then ('98-99?} we all knew that area wasn't safe for cars. We'd always be looking out from the balcony to check on the cars while hanging out there.

I know how you feel, but thank god you got the car back!

[Scope240sx]

shoot man, i've seen this car before.
I had a homie that lived in the apts on lassen in between white oak and zelzah, and i've seen your car there before if i'm not mistaken. I parked behind u a few times haha in a green coupe.. I specifically remember your car for the kouki tails c pillar no tint and no lock on the QR.
Really nice car in person. That's terrible what happened man, really.
My best regards for your future build, do her right.

[DJ-of-E]

man this is why i hate the 240sx game now, its some other 240 owners who did it.

Funny enough, this is why I garage my 240sx instead of my Z. I got tired attempts at my car with my alarm going off. Got me paranoid a week after, got tired of it the 3rd time :duh:.

Kill switches and really hidden alarm setup is the way to go.

[mr.booie]

Man, getting a car stolen like this is a mind-fuck. Mine was stolen in 2010 and all they did was blow the motor on it. And I'm 99% sure it was marked at a car meet. I saw a group of people looking as 1 guy pointed at my car. And I was close enough to hear the name of the company that I was working at in the conversation. 1 week later my car was stolen from my place of work. Got it back 2 weeks later. Sr had a melted #3 piston. Your situation reminds me of mine. I couldn't stop thinking about it for months. Total mind-fuck.

[240sideways]

BUMP!
If anyone sees or suspects another 240 rolling with my parts please private message me. Thanks.

[240sideways]

I'm still looking for help on the assholes responsible.

[Oakville]

Wow just read all of this. Sorry to hear about your loss, you've got a good bunch of guys here that are helping. That makes me happy to see.

Best of luck recovering your stolen parts.
