So how come it was 3 now 4? I wonder if some other items weren't "misplaced" at the salvage yard...

That really sucks man. But I'm glad you got the car back at least.


I really MUST get you guys some shifter locks over to the states. Serioulsy. Pretty cheap and will confuse the hell out of a thief who's never encountered one before.

Thanks for the support guys, Barney was recovered in Compton (approx. 20 mi from home) Car was found dumped on the cement with one steelie mounted on the drivers side. Lock on drivers door was tampered with, Ignition was yanked out, power wire for horn was ripped out, and all relays for anti theft pulled.
The parts that are missing are as follows: Four (4) 15x7 +35 Volk Racing te-37 mounted with 205/50/15 Falken ZE-912, 45% tread all around with a patch on 1 tire. Rare vented carbon fiber hood with newly installed aerocatch hood pins, Very rare old school nismo steering wheel mated with a NRG quick release (Theives only took steering wheel with quick release adapter, not entire short hub and quick release setup), Wilwood Dynalite 4POT calipers (faded purple), 11.75 coleman racing brake rotors with Honda top hats, wilwood stainless braided lines (front), no name raching bucket seat (bride zeta look alike, THANK GOD they left the bride seat rails), Willans Racing 4pt harness, one of a kind aluminum shift knob, Alpine head unit, JL audio 1100 watt 5 channel amp, Alpine type-s sub in a Alpine bandpass box, Spark plug wires (ULTRA WIRES in super rare blue), optima red top battery, rear view mirror w/ broadway.
There was not too much cosmetic damage, front bumper and VW lip is damaged, a few minor scratches on the body (besides where key lock was tempered. The interior was pretty messed up, panels removed/broken, rear deck was ripped out. Job was planned, they took mainly universal parts, the only thing they took that was not universal was the hood. Barney is safe at my mechanics shop now, I will be stopping by periodically to bring and install parts. The car has not been started since being recovered, mechanic will be looking over fluids to be sure nothing was tampered with, heres a few heart breaking pictures. I have a lot more to upload however I have to go to work.







Barney on his way to the safehouse
Barney safe and sound, protected by his older brothers.
