'00 black SI stolen

[DrJones]

Not a repost, car was stolen again.

Was stock (including rims) with spoiler. Front left bumper and fender had some damage.

This makes the 4th time...

[sirtef9]

where do you park this thing? good luck again

[DrJones]

Already got it back. Guy a block over called in a car that looked stolen.

Good news is Tobi's kill switch worked great. Bad news is after the car shut down they tore apart the dash looking for it.

Was stolen from out in front of my place, just like 2 weeks ago. Probably the same guys.

[Skaterkid]

Wire in a bomb Mad Max style. That is fucking ridiculous.

[HONDA GHANDI]

Mutha...fuckers.

[DrJones]

I wonder if the cops would want to buy it as a bait car.

[Kwando]

without giving too much info - if you had a kill switch how did they drive it away???


you need to fucking get rid of that thing, and get a pinto.

[DrJones]

With the switch you still get a few seconds of gas. I live on a hill so they must of just gotten it on the road before it died. Then coasted down to where it was found and started ripping it apart trying to get it started again.

[Kwando]

i wonder if its the same people...

[Brandon]

crazy shit yo

[john]

Damn. Time for a different car, perhaps?

[Dave_L]

what the hell?! That's some bullshit.

[stu]

I'm working on sending you an email to answer your question.

[myshtern]

youch, sell it

[STIBungy]

Your kill switch isnt working too well then.

[HONDA GHANDI]

Your kill switch isnt working too well then.

Its working exactly how it was designed to. The car was recovered less than 1/4 mile from its home.

Why not just make it not be able to start?

[HONDA GHANDI]

For several reasons. When the car wont start in your driveway you run the risk of damage to the house, possible breakins to the garage and home. Also if it does not start right away they are more likely to do more damage and vandalism than anything. When they get out on the street with it and it stalls, it is more likely that they abandon it right away. It also comes in handy for a car-jack situation. Let them have the car, flip the trigger device and walk away. They will at least get away from you before it stalls, puts you out of harms way.

[HondaPower]

Man that sucks. Is your steering column still straight after all the jacking??? did you have alarm?

[redb20teg]

do u go to your insurance everytime?

[Kwando]

paul - you should see if the PD wants use it as a bait car... its been stolen 3 times this year already

[HONDA GHANDI]

werd, the po po would have a hard time keeping up with an EM1 getting stolend.

[DrJones]

Here are some pics. You can see they ripped apart the dash pretty well looking for the kill switch I'd presume. The key on the floor was a key to a Hyundai, cops weren't interested in it.

Also, as to how they got it so far from the house when it had a kill switch, you can see in the last picture. They pushed it. Cops weren't interested in getting prints off that either because the car was 'outside' and the 'evidence wouldn't hold up.'

[HONDA GHANDI]

Theives suck, this time at least you sort of scored one on them.
HAI-1 Thieves-11tyBillion.

[DrJones]

I do have to say I'm a little worried now.

My hunch tells me there is a decent chance that it was the same guys this time (because of how soon after the last time it was). Who knows what their motives are or what they are on. It has to be frustrating for them to try twice and fail (last time when it was recovered it was out of gas, so I think they ran out and ditched it). They obviously know where I live. Might be time to join the firearm community.

[Brandon]

Couldn't hurt.

Couldn't hurt to get rid of the Honda and get something else either.

[HondaPower]

Hand prints and can't fucking finger print. That's some BS.

BAM!

[BluByU]

Hey Tobi how much for this said setup?

Usually about $100 but it depends on the car and how tricky you want to get.

Thieves can read too, at least half of those can be bypassed in less than 30 seconds. I have seen some cars recovered from theft with all sorts of stupid shit used to bypass ignition and fuel pump kills. Some are good ideas but have been overused and way over publicized making it easier for thieves to look for. Step one, think of a tricky tool to immobilize your car. Step Two: DONT TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT!!!!!

[Weston-work]

Yeah, simply cutting power to something is too simple and thieves have proven that they can get around that. A starter kill is super easy to get around, and fuel pump and ignition kills are slightly better but still common and easy to bypass. Unfortunately, I've known enough people that have had Hondas and Acuras stolen, that it's pretty clear to me what doesn't work for stopping thieves. You need to cut something that they'll have to take time to diagnose, because they don't have much time to work with. The signal wire for a vital sensor can accomplish that, but make sure that it actually makes the car non-drivable, and don't tell people which one it is.

I had always wanted to do something with the ABS computer so that it would engage the brakes, but I never got around to messing with that enough to see if it was a feasible idea or not.

[HONDA GHANDI]

Good idea Weston. I would have to look into that one. :D You could also make it so that once the car is stolen, the brakes stop working so they die in a firey crash. :D

[Nate]

Just wire a 15 second delayed full throttle on the new cars.

[Justleftlife]

God i hate hearing when people cars are stolen you put so much effort and time into there car. Holloween this year 16 cars were reported stolen according to the springs police. But mine was found... only i was not as "lucky" my engine ECU gauges and all that jazz were gone!

[HONDA GHANDI]

The parts were probably on another car on its way to AZ or NM before they even found your car. Sorry to hear it man. Id like to say they will be caught but sadly the five-oh does not care really. Since no one gets injured, the insurance company makes it right (sometimes) it is considered a victimless crime. :(

[HondaPower]

I really like that one.

[ITR#1030]

the ABS switch is a very good idea might look into it.

[dopeem1]

wow man i have a em1.. this scares me.. thank god i dont have a motor in it right now...
