Sorry I can’t help. It deserves to be saved. Let us know when it turns up.

10/20/2017 at 15:29, STARS: 1

yeah, if the new owner keeps me informed I’ll keep you informed.

I’d hate to see it go to waste, if it turns up, I’ll certainly be offering a hand to help with anything ti needs.

I find it funny that in USA it’s 90s hondas and toyotas that get stolen while in Europe its turbocharged hot hatches of the past 5 years like the STs and VXRs and whatnot. But it’s still sad either way. Hopefuly it is recovered before it’s chopped and burned.

If I was a cop, I would start by looking in your garage

Kinja'd!!! "MonkeePuzzle" (monkeypuzzle)
10/23/2017 at 11:26, STARS: 1

and I wouldn’t blame them one teeny tiny bit.

I mean, I’d be annoyed, but if I were to think of who could easily steal this, yeah, I’d be on that list. Hell, I could have even kept a key, and I certainly know the ins and outs of all the cars secrets.

I’d welcome a smart cop coming by to question me, because it would mean they were actually doing something about the theft. But... they won’t. :(

yeah, I follow a few Honda and Subaru groups on facebook, and a dedicated group for reporting stolen cars. It’s literally constant.

when I owned this car, I never parked it with the ECU connected. Gotta do something. But nothing stops a tow truck.

It’s a late 90's honda in good shape, those only exist in two states - overpriced and stolen. (Mine got stolen too, a sedan) bastards took every fucking thing including the carpet, dashboard, everything. Just left me the shell and half an engine and a $900 towing and storage fee.
