uh, well i sure as hell go and check on my car if i hear its alarm, wtf?
alarm noise would scare away 99% of joyride car thieves anyway. his car wasn't stolen by some master thieves, guys. just a punk kid or whatever.

^^ true no master car theif is going to steal a supra. they go for pricey cars.

screw that
when i am driving 500+ miles. If i can make the trip in 5 hours instead of 6. You bet your ass that my happy ass will speed. Of course i also know that if i get caught. I am not complaining. It was a gamble
btw as for the alarm. What you want to do is install a 120 db alarm INSIDE the car cabin.
that works worlds better than outside.
I wouldn't lose all hope. They did after all leave another car right next to your empty spot. For all you know they will just drive it till they run out of gas then leave it. Either that or joy ride into a tree.
Well, it was found last night, out in the middle of nowhere, thrashed and laying in a ditch on the brake rotors.
Interior is ruined, dash ripped apart, big hole in the bumper, stereo of course stolen, taillights cracked, battery and terminals stolen, and both the overflow and the radiator were empty of coolant. They managed to get approximately 200 miles on it.
Sheriff didn't want to bother dusting for prints, even though they were all over the car. Tow truck driver says they're stealing 3-4 cars a night, stripping them like mine and leaving them in the same area. GEE SHERIFF, wouldn't it be nice if you ever catch these fuckholes to have set after set of prints on every car they've ever stolen?
There was a lady who saw them ditch it and she called the cops, 8 1/2 hours later they showed up and called me. She said they towed it out with a white truck and ditched it. She didnt have her glasses so she couldn't read the plates. Said they were a bunch of kids and by how far they scooted up my seat they were. They weren't even smart enough to steal/drink the beers I had in the back.
To them:
FUCK YOU STEAMING PILES OF SHIT. You people are the lowest scum on the earth. You did nothing to deserve to drive my car, NOBODY drives my car. That's MY fucking seat, not yours. My fucking gas, not yours. My fucking engine, not yours. You didn't bust ass 18 hours a day for three days to put that engine in, you didn't pay 2500 dollars for the work you destroyed in a night, you didn't earn a fucking cent. I swear upon everything holy that if I EVER find out who you are or where you live there will be consequences. Incidently if I ever see a set of Essenza 710 wheels with my initials engraved into them, there's going to be some SERIOUS SHIT.

dude if i was u i would camp out at that same place and do everything in my power to put these fuckers behind bars, cause thats bullshit.
right now i wish i lived in OR i would come and help u find these freakin little pricks. i got 4 words "GO KICK SOME ASS".
Sadly I can't afford $300 a month for insurance, so I carried no comprehensive coverage on this car. I carried comprehensive on my maxima when it was nice because it was a lot less money per month and that was the car I expected them to steal.
Ouch. On the good side, you do have it back. Any engine damage? Coolant looks dry - check that it'll still crank.
Fuel pump kill switch and a pager alarm would be first on my list from here.

Wow. I lived in Eugene up until a year ago, I remember when there was a rash of car stereos being stolen but this is ridiculous. Will insurance pay out anything at all? I'm going to install a hidden kill switch this weekend, goddamn.
But remember this - cars come and cars go. It sucks the worst when you just finish working your ass off and then shit happens, but shit happens. Worst case scenario, you have a pretty complete parts car for your next Supra. It could always be worse, you could be that kid in Eugene that traded in his ferrari 360 for a lamborghini and got sideswiped in Seattle, sold the remains and ended up $100k down.

Nope, no insurance payout at all.
Here's what I wrote on a local forum; we're really tempted to stake out the halfway point on this road that leads to where it was found, basically right in the middle of the area they're ditching cars at:
I'm so tempted to stake out the spencer creek grange area to watch for suspicious people. They towed my car out there, ditched it in broad daylight at noon yesterday, stripped it while they were there, and that would be pretty obvious if someone was just watching for a car being towed, or a group of cars driving in close procession up one of these side roads.
The truck driver says he's picking up 1-2 cars a night from side roads off of lorane highway, and that's just him, let alone the other towing companies.
These little bastards are highly ballsy and it would just take someone paying attention to catch them because they're doing everything in broad daylight. They stole my car before dark, and they stole the other guy's car that they left in my driveway at 5PM, way bright outside. All it's gonna take is someone to say "hey, those people don't belong here" or "hey, I wonder where they're towing that car to" and it's not going to be the cops.

I'm out about 2000 for the engine, 1000 for the wheels/tires, $130 for the battery, a bumper, probably a head/head gasket, and possibly a transmission/clutch. so a few thousand at least.

YES. Do it, do it now. To anyone reading this, do it now before it's too late. My car could have been much worse, but it also could have been never stolen at all with a $2 switch and a foot of wire.

Yeah, so what about the engine?
It was still in the car, but as mentioned, coolant looked a little low.
I am starting to get nervous. This is the 3 or 4th Supra stolen from someone on this board of on SF within a year and mine is just about ready to look pretty again.
