Exclamation Central Florida Alert: Stolen Recaros

Alright guys I'm putting out the alert for stolen seats.

This morning at 7:15AM I found that someone had broken into my IX and stole both Recaros as well as the aluminum Mitsu shift knob. The thief/thieves gained entry by pulling out the right front passenger window. The cops were able to lift fingerprints so I hope that leads them to the perpertrator.

This crime happened in a west Orlando community. Cameras are installed in that area pointing to the mailboxes no more than 20 feet away so I'm hopeful it caught this person/people on tape. I'll keep you posted on that.

I'm going to keep my eye on ebay, craigslist, car-part.com, etc for these seats. I hope you guys, as fellow Mitsu brethren can help me out by watching out for these seats. Alarm yourselves, garage your babies... don't let this happen to you.

I don't have much hope in recovering them but I do hope that whoever stole my property will have a hard time selling them or concealing the fact that he or she is a CRIMINAL.

The window is not broken. The rubber seal around the glass is pulled away and the glass looked like it had been bent outward so that a hand or tool could be inserted.

Tonight, after closer inspection, it looks like it was a clean job. It appears only the center console was where it's screwed to the floor. I also noticed that my Passport 8500 was also gone which didn't make it to the police report.

The community manager said she'd look through the videotape today. Not sure if watching them on video (if they got caught by it) will help or **** me off further though.
