Great .. My car just got stolen

dylandylandylan

Hey guys!

Thought I'd just vent a little here.

 

My Toyota trueno just got stolen this morning. I know it isn't much, but it was mine, I'm fully insured and all, but nothing can really pay back the hard work and time I put into my car ..

I've rung the police and it's now reported as stolen, and I've also contacted my insurance company.

 

If you guys have had something stolen off you, how did you deal with it? Did you think you were going to get it back, or did you know it was gone forever?

 

R.I.P.

Sorry to hear guy :( . I have had 2 cars stolen but had lojack on both, lucky they were recovered before they got stripped to hell. Give it a couple days before you lose all hope. If you don't get them back I hope the insurance claim eases the pain somewhat.

Now that's something I need in hindsight eh, even a cheap android phone with a GPS locator under the spare wheel would have done the trick, ah oh well, hindsight is a beautiful thing.

Cheers guys, I have a feeling that it won't turn up again, probably just stripped for parts unfortunately, but! on wards and upwards eh.

Aww I know it's not the same but someone a month ago smashed by passenger window. Hopefully someone finds it before something happens to it.

I'm not a Toyota person (more of a Buick Skylark person. Them little cars could take a beating and still rip your sack off), but that is one nice looking car. I really hope you get it back dude. :(

This is why I sometimes wish people went insane and booby trapped their homes/cars like Charles Bronson would.  Teach those low lifes a lesson, in PAIN.

I just wish the police here used bait cars to take down these thieves like they did for a while in the UK. So many car thieves here and they just don't get caught.

 

Or something from stickdeath ;)

In California they do that somewhat often.

It's a smart idea, if we did it here, I'm sure it'd have more of an impact than in the states mind you, just a smaller population, and higher risk of being caught, at the moment there is little risk for car thieves here, and it's practically a slap on the wrist if they do get caught.

Wow. NZ carjackers get off easy. But honestly though, since I have to think about getting a car soon, I can honestly say that I'm sorry, and I hope you get it back. I know that if my first car would get stolen, I would be so furious and sad, I would be damn near emotionless. Hell this guy (a guy from Michigan like me) just damaged his Diablo and he was pretty devastated (that would be me by times 100 by the way if my car was stolen).
