But in all seriousness - that sucks

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

10/20/2017 at 15:29

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.

Fuck why do Hondas get stolen so always?

theyre just kinda low tech, security wise, at the age this one was.

and another local forum showed TWO more auto thefts this past weekend. It’s insane.

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

MonkeePuzzle > Wacko
10/23/2017 at 11:26

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.

I need to start pulling the distributor rotor. F- me.

MonkeePuzzle > benjrblant
10/23/2017 at 11:38

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

Nothing, eh? Kinja would like a word with you.

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.
