my car was stolen - Page 2

Goddamn. This stuff really pisses me off. I hope the insurance company does you well. Anyone know how to wire one of those fuel cutoff switches in the passenger compartment?

xspeed02 · 05-03-2001, 07:10 PM

Sorry to hear that bro. I hope everything turns out ok. Goodluck and keep us informed. I've had nightmares of having my car stolen, and I only have liability. I'm definitely hopping back on comp and collision again though.

oh my god dude. i never thought i would come back to the board and see this. after all the sh!t we talked on theives about a year ago,,,,, jesus dude. that sux azz.
you know what i would do! but finding out 'who' is the hard part.
where do you work? it must be a big place. (going out to lock my doors as i type!)
i also think it was someone that knew your car either directly, or maybe lives close by so has seen it go by enough to know something had been done to it. keep an eye out for people you know who have mustangs or even people you dont know but have seen, and watch for any 'substantial' performance gains that would take most of us time to save up for.
dont give up on this. i wish i was close to you to help.
talked to a guy yesterday about theives and he was saying his stereo got stollen and they took his pager. the next day he paged him, and the stupid african american (not suggesting they are all stupid) called him back!!! he got his address and everything off of his caller i.d.!!!!! and get this,,,,, THE COPS WOULDNT DO **** . they said that all they could so is get him for receiving stolen goods. i would of told them to go for it then and get me my ***&ing **** back! then id deal with it again about 6 months down the road with my own hands.
he didnt have my mentality, or ability/anger however and let it go.
man, im going out to smoke after this one. cant beleive this generic a$$ sh!t.
one other thing,,,, they obviously had good/decent mechanical skills and knowledge of what to get. something else that might help point them out. (could be a single person and not a them too.)
later man, i gotta lock my ***&ing door for real.

After reading all this and being extremely paranoid myself I called today and got Comp and Collision again. The thought of having my car broken into or stolen is just... god, its about as bad as a woman getting raped.

[i[OH MY GOD...[/i]I just saw this post. Sorry to hear about your loss, I agree with the others it was someone who knew what you had, and you just got done doing a lot this winter what a shame. Is all the Griggs stuff still on the car? I would look around to see who has what maybe you see some of your old parts around....good luck with the insurance company. My fiance is a agent and we talk about this all the time unless you have the car apprasied and have the reicepts they only have to give you blue book value. I also worry about it so I have multiple cut off switches on my car now, plus my alarm which kills it. Good luck keep us updates, again sorry for your loses...

I have a file FULL of receipts. My wife gathered them all for me. I think she was more concerned about being able to remind me how much I already spent on the car, but having documentation for the insurance company is a good side effect. We're also fortunate enough to be members of one of the best insurance companies in the U.S. USAA.

My car's body isn't in the greatest shape and my hood still has yet to be painted, but I don't think people steal cars like ours for their looks. I don't like alarms so I will probably figure out how to set up a few strategic cut-off switches.

What you need to do is find out who it is by whatever means you have, like watching hangout spots and looking for you parts, or whatever.
(this is the important part)
Then if you get a good idea of who it is you need to get someone from out of town *ahem* with a nondescript car *cough cough* and an interesting array of armaments to come around *ahem cough* and "take care of things" for you. *cough*

Not sure who you could get, *coughmecough* but I'm sure you could find someone out there.

I finally put the fuel cut-off on my car. I am also going to put an ignition kill switch on when I get a chance. I also take my coil wire off when I will be somewhere for a long while.

It sounds like a PITA, but if you love your car it is worth it. I just got new chrome Cobra R rims and I don't wan't them to go bye-bye.

If you would like info on this e-mail me at black88stang@yahoo.com. There are many ways to do this.
