We knew who was responsible for the theft and heard that the kid who stole our car got killed a few months later in a car accident. So believe me what goes around does come around, for some it comes around sooner than expected.
Once we found out the guy who stole our car got killed we were like good, one less car theif on the streets.

Still owe $15,000 on the MR that was stolen, so that leaves me with a sad 10-13k for a new car... Hello used honda civic 
Best of luck to you I hope you get your Evo back and those who stole it get what the deserve.

My buddy works for Allstate and I am not sure how your policy is but they have a type of coverage that if your car gets totalled or stolen they will give you enough to buy a new car if it's less than 3 years old instead of just bluebook value. Sounds like if you have it you might be lucky in that aspect.
Best of luck to you I hope you get your Evo back and those who stole it get what the deserve.

I realize keys dont get wet but they DO sink. I was in and out of the water so its very possible a key could have slipped out of my tiny pocket on my swim suit. I also parked in a place that I didn't consider very dangerous (clearly, I was wrong). I kinda had no other option but to lock the key in the car and hide the electronic part. I did not make the keys visible, my big mistake was I didn't hide them at all.
edit: called my insurance company, long story short - no gap insurance doesn't help me here because I only owed $15,000 on the car.

He left his keys in the center column (asking if it has a immobilzer? what read the thread again?)
He was down river.. (a alarm woulda helped how?) Even if he did have a alarm im sure they woulda had plenty of time to disable before anybody noticed or played it off as a dead battery or something especially with keys in hand.
I am sorry this happened.. however you ever happen to wonder if possible was a inside job? somebody you knew?

Holy ****, I've had my car stolen before, and I know the feeling. It's such a deep gut wrenching I want to kill someone feel man. go to www.running-free.org and post on there. It's a sac area site. I will be keeping an eye out for you. Sorry to hear about it. I'm in the sac area some nights, and now worry about it because of stuff like this.

I know how hot (stolen) the evo is. But I know that this doesn't help, but when I go out, I park it under a security camera. I had my old car stolen and we were able to find the young punks that stole it. FYI PARK IT WHERE PEOPLE CAN WATCH IT. I have been there before, I don't want to be there again, espically with my evo! I LOVE IT MAN!

anyways, sorry to hear that...all this time I have only see 1 graphite gray around Richmond Area (510) and it was in my rear view mirror. Yes its tinted. I know thats not much help but if that gives you any clues then thats good...I'll keep on the look out since for some reason i remember how many evoIX i see around my area.
