![]() hey all, today around 6pm, my car was stolen out of garden City Long Island. I am asking anyone in the NY/ Long island area, to keep an eye out for it. I know the chances are small, but maybe someone will spot it. Please send me an email or give me a call (631 334 5020) if you see it on the road. I have put countless hours into this car, not to mention thousands of dollars. The worst part is, my insurance will onloy give me about $1500 if the car is not recovered. The wheels and tires alone are worth more then that, so getting it back would be great. Thanks for reading this, and hopefully I will get it back, in one piece I hope...

![]() I'm really sorry for you because I feel your pain. Back in 2000-01, I had two cars stolen within a year of each other. Dealing with the insurance company on a modified or better-than-average stock vehicle is the owrst part of it too.
Best of luck in finding it. The cops eventually found my 91 LX vert but by the time they did, there was almost nothing left of it.

![]() That is a damn shame. I hope they catch the bastards and recover the car.
At the moment I only have no-fault (can't afford anything else) and I would be SOL if my car got ripped off. I've made it so they would have to have a tow truck to do it though. ![]() That Sucks though. Good Luck!

Plus, I have a club, but that would just be to slow them down until they got to the AutoLock. Of course any car can be stolen, but that is a lot of trouble to go through for a 91 GT with bad paint (some rust around the fenders) and 127,000 on the clock. BUT, I do put the Autolock on everywhere, because I know the one day I don't use it is the one time I will end up regreting it. It's kind of a pain sometimes, but better than the alternative.

![]() It was locked up, and it has a Viper Alarm system and a kill switch on it. It was in a crowded parking lot and no one has reported anything. I just sold my old mustang, so I could buy some new parts for my 91, so right now, I am SOL.
It turns out my car was used in a crime in the city the night it was stolen, so now the NYPD is looking for these assholes too. The best part is, my insurance compay lied to me when I got my policy, they told me theft was covered under the package I had, but now they are telling me thats not true, so I am not going to get anything from the insurance company. The cops better find these people before I do....

![]() insurance companies piss me off so much. you pay for your car thrice and when you finally want a third of that money back its like pulling teeth. what BS, im so sorry to hear about all this. sounds like you have a better chance of finding it though, since it was used in a crime and now more people are looking for it. maybe it was just a getaway vehicle and they will ditch it
![]() MTU 50 - what is Autolock?

It is a device that locks onto either your brake or clutch pedal and won't allow either to be depressed. For a car with an automatic trans, you have to depress the brake to disengage park on the transaxle. For a car with a manual, you have to depress the clutch to start it and shift. Plus if it is locked onto your break pedal and somehow the thief gets the car in drive, he or she isn't going to be able to stop very well. They are usually around $60, but I got mine for $17 because the K-mart near where I went to college was going out of business. Plus, it was located in a town with little or no car theft, so I kept waiting for the discount to go up 10% every week until the store closed. ![]() After repeated use, it does scratch the brake pedal, but that is a small price to pay to keep your car safe and no one looks down there anyway. Here is the website: www.autolock.com

![]() Yea, Thats what I hope for. Chances are, if they did ditch it, it would prob be in the city, and the "locals" would prob strip it, or steal it again before the cops found it.

![]() on my falcon i have the grant vehicle security system. i can remove the steering wheel and lock it in the trunk. that wyay they need to be charles atlas to drive the car with anything resembling skill, try tuning the manual steering car with just the hub of the steering wheel and you will see what i am talking about. its either that or use a tow truck as the top of the column get a cap locked on it. soryry about the loss, hope you get it back. also if your policy has comprehensive coverage then the car is covered for theft.

Yeah, that does suck. If I wasn't a poor, indebted, unemployed, college graduate, I'd send you some money to cover some of the loss. My Mustang didn't have half of the parts yours did and I would be even more pisssed off and depressed if mine got stolen. These thieves don't realize what they are stealing. This isn't somebody's Camry or Taurus where through insurance you can go out and get a new one just like it. And the only thing that happens is a higher insurance premium. They have't made our cars in 10 years and the ones in good or great condition command a premium. Plus the go-fast parts that were on it. I'm getting pissed off just typing this. ![]()

![]() Yea, thats how I feel too. It wasn't just the parts on the car either. It took me a year to find it, it was 100% stock, and in MINT condition. It was just like it was in the showroom, it even had that new car smell. I did all the work to it, so I know it was done right. Its not even the money, but its all the hours I put into that car to get everything exactly right that makes me feel like killing someone. Now theres one less "clean" fox body around. I was the 2nd owner, it was never in any type of fender bender, or anything.
