I am so upset. I come out of class last night to discover my car was stolen from the campus parking lot. I reported it to the police. They called me early this morning to tell me they found my car sitting on blocks. They took my wheels and my entire stereo. He said they sprayed grease all over the inside and outside of the car so there are no fingerprints.
I'll go today to the impound yard to view it. This is so upsetting. This was my FIRST new car that I bought. I just made the last payment 2 months ago. I had 4 years of blood, sweat, and tears in this car not to mention the money and sheer joy I had with this car. I'm waiting to hear back from the rent a car place so I can go to the police station and fill out some paperwork.
I'll write more later when I can compose myself a bit better.

Wow....
I'm so sorry to hear this. It seemed like you were just getting satisfied with your decision to go turbo and getting all the parts to make your car complete.
Hope someone catches the bastards who did this...
Marc, where do you live?
Good luck.

We just bought out hostboard.com, once we have it under control, I'm going to allow the untouched postings of these type of JR horror stories, I use to own one too when they first came out, nothing but problems and heard of others too having nothing but problems with jackson for support. Hopefully show people what they might get into if they were to buy one of these poorly designed pieces of crud...

Marc, sorry to hear of your misfortune. I hope your insurance will cover the theft damage. Did you use "the Club" or anything?
-
I assume you will show that others are happy as well?

What does his decision about his blower have to do with the theft of his car? C'mon, man...please read the subject and leave it at that.
Marc: Sorry to hear about your car, man. Hopefully, some good will come out of it.

sorry to hear that.
Do u have some type of alarm or auto lock or sth like that?
good luck man.
i wish those thef will hit by bus!

Man that sucks! I had the wifes Stratus stolen not to long ago, but that was a joyous event. It got torched to the ground with nothing left, so at least that didn't happen to yours. Any way you cut it, it really bites to be on the receiving end of that situation http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif

Here's a little update. I just came back from the impound lot to gather the few personal items they left behind.
My entire stereo was stolen: Alpine head unit, Alpine EQ, PPI amp, Fosgate cap, MB Quart speakers, etc all gone. They cut up the entire console and shifter boot to steal it.
My autometer boost and fuel pressure guages were taken as well. They tried for the J&S but I think they couldn't figure out how to disconnect it from the ECU so they left it dangling.
My interior is cut in a few spots and the car WREAKS like WD40. The carpeting is completely ripped up on the passenger side. There is grease all over the panels, upholstery, steering wheel, etc. They sprayed it everywhere inside and out. Obviously my TE37s & Yokohama rubber are gone. They punched out the ignition and ripped open the dash.
Most of the things under the hood were undistrubed except they cut the vacuum line to my boost guage, line from FP gauge and the lines for the alarm were also cut. There are a few dings and scratches on the exterior as well though it's hard to tell since there is soo much WD-40 sprayed all over.
I expect my insurance company to total the car.
Yes I had an alarm and yes it was set. Code Elite if memory serves. I didn't have a club.

Don't rely too much on "The Club" if you've got one. My buddy is a repo man and I've seen him pick one of those things in like 30 seconds with a "standard" lockpick that I am sure is common equipment among thieves. I couldn't believe how little security was offered by "The Club"! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/eek.gif
If you want a tough steering wheel lock that is similar to "The Club", get the one that looks like it that has a key that is shaped like a phillips head screwdriver. He said that that thing is very hard to pick.
The bottom line is that if someone wants your car bad enough, they will usually get it. But...we try to avoid being just a random target and it is best to make it as difficult as possible to protect you from a random theft.
Again, sorry about your loss, Marc. I can't imagine seeing my pride and joy ripped apart like that. Work with the insurance company and hopefully, you'll come out ahead in the end. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm sorry to hear that man. The world is very unfair. I have a Code Alarm Elite too. I guess I should look into the autoloc or something. I'm sorry man, all u can do is rebuild.

Marc...
I am at a total loss for words. Although we all know that this type of crap happens daily, car theft hurts and it hurts deep. This just shouldn't happen to a guy as nice as you.
I pray for you... I know that you are a man of strong character... and I am confident that you will re-build... and it will be better than ever.
I will also pray that the little rat-bastards that did this to you and your lovely ride will suffer an agonizing death...
Stay strong my friend... and follow your heart.

At a time like this it can be good to believe in Karma : somehow those little bastards are going to get paid in full.
Its also comforting to know that "the wages of sin are death", which just about fits the crime of stealing a guys ride...
If you should find out who is responsable, dont forget to pay them a visit with a crew of "real hard pipe hittin' *******", just to make sure they pay you what you are owed, in full (and I'm not talking about $$$).

Dude I feel for ya man, extremely. I had my gsr stolen 1 week before X-mas in my own apartment building with the spare key my vallet has, waste of F#@kin sperms they are, but anyhow it put a huge damper on my whole cheerfulness and on top of that only thing that got stolen was my radio head unit and that same weekend my turbo was gonna go in. Instead I had to repair te fender because of whomever or whatever they hit pay 250 bucks for the release from towing. Shit I hate talking about this, pisses me off even more.
All I can say MArc is get a CLIFFORD with Antijack and no more worries and if that doesn't work just throw a rattlesnake up in the car, that tends to work as well http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif.
Keep ya head up man, I know how it feels man and killing them would be the best idea http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif. Take care, hope things work out dude.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your encouraging words. This was quite difficult for me. This car was more than just a means of transportation it was a hobby and a passion. It was a symbol of 4+ years of hard work and dedication. Seeing it sitting in the wrecking yard amongst the other wrecked cars brought a tear to my eye.
I had to force myself to take pictures. Perhaps if I ever have the courage to develop the roll of film, I'll post the pics if you're interested. What's worse is somebody I know was offered to buy a set of rims just a day after mine were stolen. They were the exact size and had the exact same tires and tire size. I know those are my rims. But with no serial numbers or distinguising marks there is no way to prove it.
The insurance company called me to tell me they are totalling the car. We will begin discussing a settlement next week.
Thanks again for your support.

Actually the Clifford anti carjack don't really do much. It would slow down a thief maybe 30sec or so. that one is SO EASY TO BYPASS. What works are one of those deadbolt thing that locks your clutch or brake pedal, add a switch to your fuel pump and hide it(works great too).
I have the clifford anti carjack too, but i disabled it. Since most car thief know how to diable that so quick. I use the clutch pedal lock, fuel pump switch.
