My Evo got jacked!
Throw up some pictures so people can keep a lookout.
I use a 2 way and a setup through my stereo (on a closed loop) that if an interior threat is triggered, the stereo has a loud screech that'll get dogs howling for a mile. It's similar to that new ringtone for kids but about 160db.
A good crooks will get the car, but I'll hit'em hard in the ear hole!

with an AMS front mount and BR TBE. Pretty loud nonetheless. This pic is with the BBS which were not on the car.
I was up from Sunday night to Monday morning at 2am doin homework. My office is in the back of my condo and I can look out and see my parking spot where my evo rests. I heard a bangin sound about 2am. I opened my back door and looked out to see nothing. Car looked fine. 10 minutes later I heard the same sound followed by my AMS Stroker engaging and coming to life with the roar of my full Buschur Turboback Exhaust. I ran out the back and saw my Evo taking off! 
I grabbed my phone and hit 911 in hopes it could be caught. It was too late. My evo and all the work, $$$, and time I put into it... gone.
3-4 weeks before my insurance gives me a settlement. My car may
show up
it may not
it may but partially stripped
fully stripped
who knows. Just a waiting game at this point. I was up all night confused and in shock. Still cannot believe it.

I'm so sorry for your loss man! How the hell did they steal a car without a coded key??? Isn't the ignition specially coded??
An easier solution would be to put the ECU into Valet mode. It might get stolen, but they wouldn't be able to drive it very fast and would easily get caught since the ECU will only let the rpms go to 2,000.

No word. Sending all my reciepts and such in to State Farm today. Read everything over and it turns out that unless your car is 9+ years old they will not sell the remains back to you in the case of a total loss (was thinkin frame, stroker, drivetrain sittin on a curb somewhere).
So either they find it and rebuild it if its not too or I get a check/new comparable car.

tHAT suck! ***! I live in chicago also. I bet you miss your car allready. Somebody knew im pretty sure what you got under the hood. Ones in a while i get this stupid dream that someone jacks my car up! weird ****. I got an RS imagine that.
I did put ****load of time+own labor into the car to make it pretty quick. I would be so freaking pissed if something like that happen, I rather have my car stolen and never get it back than get it back with all **** missing. I also went with GAP not sure if that helps or not.
good luck getting your money back and again sorry to hear that bro.

It really sucks what happened to this guy. The sad part is, no matter what alarm you have or lojack or any of that...if a theif wants you car bad enough, and they're good at what they do, they will take your car.
I really hope his car is NOT found. I wouldn't want it back unless my insurance company was going to deem it a total loss.
