License plate DELETED with registration good until next January, so it has a yellow sticker...

I woke up and saw my car's gone, there's no broken glass and another car's already parked in its spot so it couldn't have been very late, we asked the guy and he said he parked around 12 (hes a neighbor that owned 2 supras ironically, but he's a good guy, he's not a suspect)..

Folks,

[strike]Yes, I'm forcing every member to read this.

We are the single largest MKIII site in the world, which means that if someone is selling this car (or parting it out) one of us will likely see it. If you're far away in a place where you think you'll never see it, just move on and thanks for your time. (yes, believe it or not someone complained about this...)

Also, please do not comment in this thread unless you have information about this car!

For the second time today, I deleted all the responses to this thread.

Please help us out - any further off-topic chatter or "that sucks man" posts will incur infractions.

I want Enrique to know that if he gets a new post notification to this thread, that it is important.[/strike]

We'd do the same for you if your Supra were stolen.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and support.

Thanks for all the support folks, I got a VERY good tip from Brian on this board and Socalsupras, about it possibly being stolen and in Compton. Compton of course is famous for it's crime, and a few miles from here, so it's a likely scenario...

His Supra unfortunately was stolen in October, and was recovered stripped. His engine was knocking and it was sure not to last, so that's why they scoped mine. The 3.0 Turbo and OEM rear turbo badge weren't exactly inconspicuous, so I've learned my lesson about advertising.

I am almost 100% sure I'll see my car again, I just know it'll be stripped as well.

I am very appreciative about the support I have received and the great tips from members.

Thanks again folks, I'll keep you guys updated.

I recovered my car today!!!

I found it driving around looking for my girlfriend's Supra..

http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91816

I saw mine and we immediately parked around the corner and called the cops and we recovered it..

Only thing stolen was my stereo, CD's, my tools, cologne and a few small things here and there..

Unfortunately, my girlfriends Supra was stolen this morning, and we're hoping it was only because of her brand new head unit and not because it's a Supra; the reason I thought mine was stolen...

Thanks for your continued support, especially the staff here for everything they've done, but the search is not over yet..

Enrique,

Congratulations on recovering your car. I will move this thread to the General MKIII forum now that the car is no longer listed at stolen.

Your other thread remains open.

can it be someone you might know who stole your supra and your girlfriends ? i don't understand why they stole your supra first and now your girlfriends. something shouldn't make sense.

But congrats on getting your supra back man!

I thought they stole them because they were Supras because both were reported stolen when I found mine. I thought I'd find mine as a shell, as I have MANY rare parts...

However it was just a stereo and small things, so I figured they were after my stereo, as my girl had a brand new one recently installed in hers, and saw it when taking mine as we usually park right behind each other as much as possible.

Im sure they'll dump the blue car today since they know we're on to them, hopefully intact and not stripped but only time will tell..

On the bright side, I picked up this little gem the day after my white one was stolen (I was certain it was going to be stripped)..

1992 5 speed black, shadow gray HT with a BHG...

Interior is MINT!!:D

Glad to hear you got it back! Time for an alarm, and maybe a kill switch!

Maybe it's just time to move away from all the criminals...

Yea, as if someone has a vendetta?

Congrat's on locating your car, the odds were stacked against you. Maybe you've got an overflow of luck at this time - maybe play a game of chance and see what happens ;)

They stole the first one as easy pickin's, came back for the second because they knew how to steal it? Otherwise you've got some crazy bad luck having two cars randomly stolen from the same spot in only 5 days. Seems more plausable that it's the same people.

If the white one didn't go far, chances are the blue one didn't either.

Gald you got the car back mostly intact! Hope you find your GFs in similar condition!.

Did they bust out the window? Hotwire it? Screwdriver?

Like already stated, I think it's time for you to move.

First: congrats!!

My two cents: I've had my alarm hooked up to ignition kill and not starter kill like installers insits on doing. (Since I have a 5 speed). I also, signed a afidavit saying they are not responsible for anything, since I had them hook it up to the ignition and not the starter.

P.S. would you like a free bottle of colone??

It's "High karate"

Wow dude, GTFO of Cali is all I can say. Sorry that you had to go through this, not once, but twice! I hope your girls car comes back to you without being stripped as well.

People are suck fucktards :(

I am glad my car has two kill switches... one being fairly obvious under the dash, the other being not so obvious under the hood (it's the neutral start switch, lol )
