She's gone. GSX: Stolen/Recovered/TOTALED

[SpooledGSX98]

Got up this morning to go to work. Driveway is empty.

No glass, nothing. Last seen around 12:30am Tuesday.
Nothing heard. Nothing seen. Doors were locked.
Haven't heard anything from the police yet.

I guess thats what I have insurance for, lets hope I get something decent for the aftermarket stuff. What really gets to me is I installed DSMLink last friday night. Didnt even get a full week to play with it. Washed and waxed it Sunday, only got to take it out once while looking top notch.

These are some pics for memory, I am hoping for the best. Maybe she'll turn up, but I dont want to start all over again. She was wingless, and limo tinted, sure was a sleek beauty. Why do people have to do this kind of sh!t

 

[eclipsegsx1736]

NO!!!!!! I never got to see your car. I wanted to go to one of the Phoenix meets.......You have one of my favorite cars on this site... Wish you the best of luck with getting it back!!

Bastards!

I'll link this thread on az2gnt.net so people will keep an eye out for it. As sexy as that one is, I'm sure someone would spot it if it drove by. What part of town?

EDIT:
Just linked to this thread in an email that went out to over 50 DSM/Mitsu enthusiasts all over the valley. Every little bit helps, right? /crosses fingers

That sucks, but you should have had an alarm as a priority. Too many threads like this and none of the owners have one installed, .

Speaking of that, mine's just sitting in the garage. I need to install it.

Nice car btw.

 

[DSMcrazy3]

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you man. I could only imagine how that would feel to walk out and your car, especially one you've put so much time and money into, to be gone. I got my system stolen, and that hurt. I can't imagine a whole car being gone..I'll keep you in my prayers!

If a criminal knows what he's doing, he'll get around it.

 

[KidZnEclipses]

I know edsactly how it feels....My 95' Integra was stolen right out of my driveway as well, I got up to go to school and boom it was no where to be found...wow you cant describe a more worse feeling than when your car is no where around, so yeah I'm right there with you man , but the good news is I got my gs-t soo hey there you go maybe you'll get a better and greater car...My Integra wasn't that great just the system $3400 ...yeah that sucked, but anyways, good luck bud and I as well will pray for you...####in Bastards

 

[leet]

That really sucks.

I don't even know what to say.

####ing thieves.

 

[Dark Phoenix]

It always sucks hearing this kind of story. I wish you the best of luck in recovering her safe and sound.

 

[Eclipse_GS]

Sorry to hear about that man. My Father had his Jag stolen a few years ago, he was in his office and looked out and saw someone standing right by the door, by the time he got down to see what was happening, the guy got it started. The guy flicked him off and that was the last he saw of the car.... He said that seeing it happen and not being able to do anything about it was one of the worst parts. Once again, sorry to hear it happen, good luck with getting it back.

 

[TooFastTooG]

The sad part about when this happens is that most of the time the car turns back up... But its unrecognizable because every single profitable part on the car has been stripped.

Although I've never had a car stolen, Ive have two radios stolen from me, and nothing can describe the feeling.

 

[SpooledGSX98]

Last seen at my house, in Tempe.

Here are more current photo's. I never got the time to take her out on a photoshoot w/ the limo tint & 35% tinted windshield, and shaved spoiler.

Thanks for notifying local boards. Its been about 24hrs since it was last seen. I can bet anything the wheels are gone along with my 1 month old Nitto tires.

If anyone attended the recent DSMBBQ, and then the Pavilions meet, that was the last time my car was out and about, I was the 2g playing with my anti-lag setting. It sure was fun for the 4 days I had DSMLink installed. Probably one of the quicker T25 AWDs.
Stock Infinity sound system (w/ 10 disc CD changer), leather, power everything. eeesh, why me.

Sorry to hear about that, I can't imagine the anguish. When my brother's 92 Accord got jacked, both of us got a sinking, helpless feeling...I can't imagine what I would feel if ever this happened to my spyder.

After my top got ripped by some jackass trying to steal an old $30 rusted toolbox, I saved up and got a Viper 791XV pager alarm with 2 extra modules: prox sensor and interior motion detector. The alarm goes off if you look at it funny, . Car won't start with the alarm tripped. The pager has great range too. I'll be hooking up a kill-switch in addition to what I already have, plus I always have the club on, and LoJack stickers are in the mail ( ) . Though you can't stop a determined thief, you can sure as hell make him have the time of his life trying to get away with your ride.

Once again, deeply saddened by your loss. When people steal your car, they take so much more than just an "automobile". In that object, nestles hours of hard labor and sacrifice that went into securing its purchase and maintenence, and if youre a DSMer, upgrades. I hope the guy who jacked your ride gets the daylights thrashed out of him, and they find your car intact.

 

[sherloc123]

oh man that brings a tear to my eye. i hope you get it back in one piece

 

[98eclipseRS]

Oh no its starting to happen dsms are becoming the next target of car theives. I have been seing an increasing number of threads like this. Sorry to hear about the loss bro, hopefull they find her in good shape and if not you get a really good amount of money from the insurance co.

 

[SpooledGSX98]

The worst has been assumed, that way any decent news will be more appreciated.

My buddy has a *MINT* '88 Starion for sale that I will most likely pick up. 2.6L, RWD, 5spd. Brand new motor, ARP headstuds, MLS headgasket, rebuilt turbo, MSD wires, HKS BOV, everything polished. Damn nice. I wouldnt mind rocking that at all. Plus there's been talk about a possible 2JZ swap.

But it still wont compare to the feeling of AWD nor the sleek lines of a wingless 2g.

 

[paranoidTSi]

I'm gonna put a "Steal Me" sign on my DSM...good luck getting anywhere with a defective waterpump, messed up lifters, and a missing front bumper. Nevermind the car thats parked in front of it (a 88 Nissan).

Too bad man, that eclipse looks HAWT. I doubt you'll get it back in one piece, they usually take all the crap out of it, sell it, and park it somewhere in BFE.

Thing that sucks is you are never compensated from the insurance company, at least not enough to warrant the vehicle.

 

[Defiant]

Haven't heard anything from the police yet.

Nor are you likely to. Unless you're in an area very dissimilar to the dozen or so agencies I deal with, their "action" will be to go out and recover the hulk if it's ever found by a citizen.
I lost a Celica Supra to theft. Nothing was ever done. The cop on scene of the burned recovery said, "They really did a job on it, didn't they?"
My girlfriend thought I was going to be going to prison.

 

[Thomas91169]

whats a celica supra? is that like a celica body with a supra soul?

and you had a girlfreind? you pimp mofo you. she mustve been drawn towards the budda belly for good luck.

 

[BigRand]

Hey, I will definatley be on the look out up here in Washington, talk to some of the main dsm shops, and pinia motorsports and torque freaks, and see if they might have seen your car roll through anywhere.

So you said it was wingless?
Limo tinted?

I'll definatley be on the look out for it.

 

[SpooledGSX98]

So you said it was wingless?
Limo tinted?

Yes and yes. Thanks again for everyone trying to help out. It is now been 24 hours since I discovered she was missing. Odds are she's totaled already.

 

[phatchef]

sorry about your loss man. that was a very nice looking car last sat at the bbq

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

That blows, I will definintely keep an eye out for it.

#### theives

 

[EclipseTrbo420A]

I guess Ill take the Western PA watch. Sorry to hear it man... Goodluck.

 

[dsmmyth]

If a criminal knows what he's doing, he'll get around it.

Not if you have a good alarm with a killswitch. Some dudes even drive off with the alarm still going off.

It just proves that thieves are getting smarter. They know that most of these cars aren't equipped with a factory alarm.

I've got an eye out in Texas since it's within close range.
