Stolen Rare NSX

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd give this one a shot but this past week some clever thiefs stole one rare Acura NSX (Laguna Blue Pearl) from a NSXPrime member in the U.S. 2005 model U.S. cars were rare (only 258 made in 2005 and of these only 26 of these were LBBP color).

Now the world is small due to the internet so here's the link and some information regarding the car. Seems the owner was targeted a few months ago and his rare Mercedes was stolen so obviously he's been watched closely.

Holy ****, that's messed up. I don't think I'd be telling the 911 dispatch I was going to go cap the guys.

Up to about a week or so ago the guy that shot the robbers had not been formally charged if i remember correctly. The folks in the neighborhood all thought of him as a hero and there was a huge demonstration to that effect. I remember seeing a report on cnn.com along with some news footage. There were people on both sides of the fence crying racism and such. There were more saying that is wasn't than not.


Sorry for going OT.

If you listen closely, the dispatcher asks white/black/hispanic. It was spoken very fast, but it is in there prior to. So no reason for the thumbs down. But I do agree about the lengthy time it took for law enforcement to show up.

Downside of living in suburban hell, I guess. The cops probably need permission from the HOA to enter the area.
