Sucks that your car is gone, I hope you can find a new one.

I would really like to know how this happened, I would hate to go in to a store and come out and see my car gone.

If anything, they did you a favor! Now maybe you can get another one with normal wheel color! lol, I keed, I keed.

Seriously though, that SUCKS. They must have been sneaky about it. I just got my truck broken into a few days ago, and got lucky. Good luck finding your X!

Damn that sucks!

It's a pain in the **** cause now you have to get another car... the insurance will pay for it but what about your mods? you had any pictures of the mods? maybe the insurance won't pay for them or will they?

and then you need to get another car, another search, another loan... damn that sux!

But like some have said, forget about it, it should be gutted and parted out by now :-S

Sucks OP. Sorry to see that. Do you have GAP insurance in case you are upside down on your loan? Did you have any of your aftermarket parts listed on your auto policy?
yup. it's in half a dozen used parts shops now

and, lojack, keyless, alarm, etc, etc, is easily defeated. Zap a stun gun onto the frame rails and the whole electronics is toast. Poof. The ECU is not resellable, but it defeats all alarms.

Damn sometimes I wish someone would steal mine. Sorry to hear about that man, hope all turns out well for you. Certain insurance companies will pay for your mods while others won't. Check your policy. Also, you're not going to be reimbursed full price obviously, assuming they dont find it, or its totalled. I hope you aren't too upside down, and if you are I hope you have gap insurance or this can turn into a TOTAL nightmare.

damn this is probably a professional job... my friend left his spyder in his driveway, someone towed it during the night, and a month later the police found it ditched behind an industrial building completely parted out... there was almost nothing left of it to salvage

chances are thats what happening to your car... I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to drive it around, especially with the vibrant wheels

that sucks, really sorry... but there is something you could still do, im sure they arent going to part it instantly... so if you know of any shops privately owned/sketchy that you have been to, take a snoop around there, its unlikely, but maybe you can catch the %@&*ers

That's horrible to hear man. I'm out in central jersey too. I'll keep an eye out for a wingless GG X - probably minus those pink rims lol.

Good luck

As far as how it happened, I've heard about people busting windows, putting in neutral and pushing right on to a flatbed. The benefit of stealing a car with a flatbed is that everyone assumes you are legit.

Really sorry for your loss, man. thats damn terrible.
