stolen SI

Hey all...

A fellow autox'er got his SI stolen recently. There was a "spotting" recently of a SI that matched the description to a key

Update to my stolen Si.

A fellow autoXer spotted what appeared to be my car
last night at the Tanforan shopping center outside of
Sears.

DescriptionBlue Civic Si, Bronze TE-37s wrapped in
Falken Azenis with black lugnuts, Comptech Rear Sway
bar, and Del Sol Seats with a grey stripe.

He called me and the cops. The cops ran the plate,
said it wasnt stolen, and hang up on himtwice. I
got a little more results from the Foster City police.
The plate wasnt stolen, and does belong to a Blue
Si.

However, does anyone else find it a little funny that
all those parts happen to be on two Sis? Either
they swapped plates, or much more likely they got my
parts on their ride already.

It was dark, so Eric wasnt able to check for the lone
dent on the car, or for the nicks on one of the
wheels.

Keep your eyes open folks!!

The best way to check that car if you see it would be
to look at the wheels. One of the wheels should have
some gouges in it around one of the lug nut holes
(unfortunate side effect of having to drill out a
broken McGuards lock). They are pretty obvious if you
look for it. If you see it parked, check it. Also,
the Falkens should look more beat up than your average
street tirethe shoulders are pretty ragged, since I
race on those tires.

Oh, but the way, their license plate # is 4GTL745.
Anyone out there got a way to look that plate up and
find an address?

Once again my email is ibisbike@yahoo.com

At this point Id be willing to offer a reward of some
type if we find the bastards who stole my ride.

Lets show the bad guys not to mess with the Bay Area
Car Community!!
I would ask that anyone who see's this car look for the damage as described here, and or grab the VIN number.

Here are the last 7 on the VIN

Thanks to Rex for the great idea...

The last 7 digits of the VIN from my Si are:

L037989

Keep your eyes open is all I can ask...

I got taken down at gunpoint when I was 14 years old because some security guard thought I was a lookout for a gang.

Especially big props go to trebsrex for spotting my car.

It does appear to have been my car that was recovered. I haven't gotten to see the car yet and find out just what damage has been done to it.

I wish I could have been there to watch the take down and let them know how the owner of the car with the help of the local car scene nailed their *** to the wall.

Anyone got connections to make sure this guy gets put in a cell with someone looking for a new handpuppet?

More details to follow!!

Paul
excellent!

hope your car's ok and ready for the rest of the slush series
