I woke up 2500 lbs lighter today....!

Someone decided they wanted my Civic more than I did. Took it right off the street in the whee hours of the night....
The funny thing, they stole my daily driver 92 honda civic with plenty of rust, and left the 2001 honda civic sitting there.

More later...
gotta fly.....

sorry to hear that. my friend got his del sol stolen two nights ago and he had just gotten an engine swap. he's kinda mad and sad and suicidal to say the least.

Was she noticeably modified?

Sorry to hear that Dale. Hopefully the police can get it back.

Completely agree and hopefully get it back to you in the same condition as you left it.

The irony is that the older Civic was probably an easier 'grab' than the newer one. Thieves have taken a noticeable liking to older model cars now that vehicle security has become a priority for manufacturers over the past few years. It might also give a clue to the type of thief. Sounds like it was an opportunist looking for a joyride (kids probably), they'll probably dump it in some backstreet and the police will look you up as the registered owner.

That or parts, older cars are worth much, much more in little pieces. That makes them easier to get rid of, as opposed to newer cars which you want to sell whole (to Russia, usually). Most likely, its just kids going for a joyride, but if not you might want to start looking for another one.

Great parts car...unfortunately. I had my Accord broken into once and an attempt a few years later. Early 90's Hondas are like crack cocaine to car thieves.

Ok, I am back. I am in the process of moving and staying with the Mom In Law for the time being-with limited Internet access.

So, basically, the Minneapolis police said the exact same thing everyone on here is saying...joyride or parts. They said if it is parts, it will turn up gutted in an alley somewhere in da' hood in the next 3-4 weeks. If its a joy ride, sadly, it would have turned up by now. They said its usually recovered after about 48 hours. The funny thing is, on the way to work today, I was looking around the surounding neighborhoods and there were about 1M nicer Civics than mine just sitting there. Who knows!?!

The worst part of the whole thing is that I had my golf clubs, 2 pairs of K2 Rollarblades, and all of my kickboxing gear in the trunk.

I am $750 in to it in deductibles alone ($250 for auto insurance and $500 for home owners-which covers all my personal stuff inside). HOPEFULLY I will get SOME money from insurance.

I have looked around at a few new Civics and 626's at this point...I found a KILLER '95 Civic EX fully loaded with 60k original miles....who knows, something good could come out of this!

Sorry to hear about that Dale. I hope you get a great replacement car as a reward.

[John Styrnol]

Sorry to hear about this Dale. There are a bunch of ****heads out there.

I'd kill if someone stole my car with my K2s in them, especially after changing out the stock wheels and bearings with Hyper Hockey Pro 250s and BSB Titanium ABEC7 bearings.
