IN/IL Evo thief finally busted! Sierra motorsports raided
 
Sierra Motorsports in Saint John, IN was raided by the po-po yesterday. I showed up a little late but got a few pics and videos of parts being carried out by prisoners and stripped evos being towed away. A paddy wagon came up and a few prisoners helped load everything up. I was confused at first when they walked out of the van all dressed in orange!

I guess our evos in Northwest Indiana, Chicago, and the surrounding regions can sleep safer now! I hope people get at least some of their stuff back. I wouldn't know who to talk to about getting anything back, but now would be the time to figure out who to talk to(which authorities) and what documents to bring!

Sorry the pics and videos aren't too clear, I filmed it on the first android phones, aka a potato. Old skewl!:lol:

Yea this was one of the reasons why I haven't taken my evo to chicago or any other car show bullsh*t since I've moved up here.

I can only hope that the thefts around in this area have halted.:crap:

glad I never bought anything from them when I lived in Indiana, give them an address and everything.

Theives scum of the earth. I hope people can recoup all possible. What a lowlife

I also wish I didn't turn off my camera as early as I did when they were towing that black gsx. I sh*t you not, 5 seconds after I turned it off, the wheels locked up and started screeching.:rolleyes:

So glad this douchebag finally got what was coming to him. I always had a suspicion he was involved in all that ****. IM surprised it went on so long. I mean, so many evos taken up north, and yet he continues to receive evo after evo and parts them out over and over.

He was really odd when I met him at a small local hangout. He introduced himself and said I have a nice evo. I told him, "oh yea I've heard of you on evom!". He kinda mumbled something and then walked off without saying bye or whatever. Talk about shady.

His shop was kinda a running joke around here because so many of the cars that were associated with that shop blew up. We would always tell idiots to get there cars done there as a joke.:lol:

I remember seeing the owner of the black gsx with a red talon one day and he wanted me to tune his car. I instantly noticed that his hallman boost controller was installed backwards within seconds of looking at the engine bay.:lol: There was so much more crap too, like driving around and saying it was cutting out. It was cutting out cause his wastegate wasn't opening and getting boost to the moon! So his solution was to put some injectors on the car that were more than twice the size without a tune. He even told me it doesn't cut out as soon now, but gets horrible gas mileage. Man what a fckin idiot! Oh yea, and both of those cars blew up. Who would've knew?:lol::lol::lol:

I feel sorry for the people who had their car in the shop during the raid. :(

WOW!!! I stinkin knew it!! I always thought there was something suspicious about this dude. I've never met him before but there was just something about his posts and the way he ran his business that made me question this guy.

Yea what threw up a red flag to me was when he made a for sale thread for a transmission or transfer case (couldn't remember which one) and when someone asked for a vin of the car that it came out of, he didn't respond. Who would've guessed!:rolleyes:
