or the 454 Cassull...

 

Damn Taht Sux, I had a Customers Honda Civic hatch Stolen From our lot, lucky the guy had it Straight piped so it was Realy loud. One of our employees chase the guy for about 10 mins until he lost control and Crahed the Honda into a Semi. They Guy Broke Both his legs and his Thumb. About a week later He got Shot? I guess he Forgot to ask who's car he was stealing.

 

Damn, is that how you guys in NYC role. I need to stay my *** in CT. You guys got the worst of the best car thieves and you role around with heavy artillary.

 

Man so sorry to hear, I was hoping I would see a happy ending.
I think after reading this I might get this new alarm (Syctec see link below)it pages you and takes a pic of whats going on in your car and sends it to your remote/receiver. So you can get a pic of the ***** as it happens. Again my condolences

Sorry to hear that your car was stolen man, but to be honest if mine was stolen i would probably want them to do the same that they did with yours, because i dont know if i could have it back knowing what happened. Sucks man, but think positively, you get to start over with a clean slate, instead of getting your car back only to find one little thing after another that got dicked over by those douche-bags. I ****in hate people like that, it doesn't matter what happens, you could get into an argument, fight, whatever with sombody, but when they mess with your car its a whole nother story. Hope they eventually catch these guys.

And were you the one that did the write-up on the ICE wax?

 

are the immobilizers in our cars useless??

 

im guessing you dont have lowjack?

 

Immobilizers are almost useless in the eyes of professionals. Like some people have said all they need to do is to get your VIN number and get some insiders @ a dealership to make them a key.

 

Here are some tips from the MR2 community to make your car a little bit more secure. Keep in mind that if someone wants your car really bad there is nothing you can do to prevent it. All you can do is to make their job as difficult as possible such that they don't waste their time stealing your car.

1 tip: Disconnect the hood lever and hide it. When you need to open your hood just pull on the cable with your hands. Prevents a Battery attack. Wrap the cable with black tape to make it just look like another 10 gauge wire under your dash.

2 tip: Disconnect the driver side lock linkage. Your going to have
keyless entry anyways and if your battery dies or alarms acts up, just use the key on the passenger side. Prevents Slim-Jim's on driver door, and the common screwdriver under the door handle attack. Also Cuts %50 off break-ins because you only have 2 doors. Most break-ins happen on driver side door.

3 tip: When installing a Alarm NEVER use the valet switch, just wrap the valet switch around the brain.. if they found the brain they don't need the valet switch anyways. I install my alarms in Active re-arm mode, not a in passive which I hate because its such a pain in the *** when your working on your car or pumping gas.
Active re-arming means the alarm doesn't turn on itself but WILL turn back on if you dis-arm your car but DON'T open a door in 30 secs. Its for the times you accidentally hit your alarm button in your house.

4: tip: For the MR2 when installing a alarm I think the best place to put the "Brain" in a MR2 mkII turbo is above the Front air vents behind the radio, then wrap the wires in loom and run them down and thru the dash... when a car thief looks under the steering wheel to rip wires out he won't see anything but the big air vent under your kness

5: For the MR2 the hard part was placement of the siren, I run the wire on the back side of the fender after removing the weather guard in the fenderwell and then placed the siren behind the front bumper (where "The Beast" has the brake ducts) Sounds like a pain in the *** to due, but Most car thives just cut the siren wire and that shuts it up. Most shops just puts the siren in plain view under the hood or engine lid. "Where is your siren??" They just open the door, pull the hood and rip the siren out, 10 secs tops.

6: Dis-connect the truck lock linkage, I have power truck release so I just use that. Prevents truck break-ins. I have 94+ lights so I shaved both my revs lights and lock for a smoove look and saved over $120 on the lock and rev lights. I just use $20 side marker lights under my veilside bumper for rev lights.

7: A lot of times thives use this method of break-ins called Pop-in the glass out, done on the driver side mostly. Its when they stick a screw driver on top of your glass and just pry your glass out far enough to stick their hand or slim-jim in your car and hit the power lock button or lock lever over. The Glass on your car is very strong and will not break, its very easy to do on a T-Top and MR2's because we don't have a frame on top of the glass on the door. To Prevent this disconnect the lock lever on the driver side handle and wire a Relay with the starter output to shut off the power door lock switch when the alarm is armed. Test the wire that is the neg pulse given out at the switch, this is a pain in the *** to due, but this break in method is VERY common. Anyone who has locked themselves out and used a hanger to open the door knows how much the glass can flex out of the door, and most people are scared of pulling on the glass as much because its their car... car thives don't care if the glass breaks.

8: Don't EVER use those stupid Blue LED Scanners... I think the red ones are fine, but for some reason the color blue atracts thives.

9: Get a Mircowave (area motion sensor) sensor, its worth the money

10: I use the Millenium FX pager from Crimestopper... $80-90 bucks range is great on this thing and it looks like a normal small pager. Best 80$ bucks i spent on the alarm

11: Install Glass Break Sensors... its a small mic that listens for the sound of broken glass... cost about 20-30 bucks.... alot of times car thives use "moon rock" to break your window ( all it is the white part of a spark plug broken into little rocks ) Anyone how have seen this thing work, knows what I mean. The glass just breaks without ANY Noise the glass even stays in place until he moves it. Or sometimes they use a metal punch and press hard onto the glass, since the glass is tempered the glass doesn't break but it cracks all up into little blocks. No noise can me heard and your standard Shock Sensor WILL NOT pick it up.

12: Make sure you have the hood pin switch and Engine lid switch installed, most shops just ignores them. Don't forget your truck pin switch.

13: Hide ALL Wires with Black Tape!! If you stick your head under your steering wheel and you see your alarm or any of its wires your should re-do your alarm.

14: Get a back-up battery installed $30 bucks max, or use a cheap 12 volt camcorder lead battery from radio shack $10 bucks if its on sale.

15: Dis-Connect your engine lid lever if you want to prevent engine parts being stolen. Just pull on the bike cable yourself if you want to open your lid.

 

Good luck man. I feel for ya.

 

that is very true, but really considering me working in a county jail, majority of these people never once mention our cars. all i hear is beamer this and benz that. its just a odd thing to hear an evolution getting stolen. and yes i did read and hear that our car was suposedly number #1 on the stolen list at least here in south florida i havent heard about to many peoples evos being stolen.

 

got ya.

 

ah thats tough man, i can only imagine how enfuriated you are, i know i would be, best of luck with the insurance company

 

wow.. brentwood. Not a real big surprise even though it's the worst neighborhood on the island along w/ Valley Stream and Rosedale side of queens. Makes sense to me since the car was taken in Happauge... Would be really strange if the car wound up in the BronX.

 

Jesus christ that sucks... hope they catch him
