im guessing the 2000 dollars being all the gauges they stole. and im hoping they didnt take the greddy emanage. but besides that the ignition module and some simple wiring shouldnt cost 2k (so i assumed they stole a few things)

Thanks all for comments... Situation is like this:

- right now car is not possible to run and not possible to lock anyhow

- now my celi is in Toyota and they will repair ignition first (car must be mobile)

- I have already bought Toad Ai606 alarm (hope good choice) and will be installed when I have my car back.

- My car was not stolen only thanks to anti-theft device Toyota has been using in all European cars (I have not found it in EPC for US models so believe not every model has that...)



that device is called "immobilizer central unit" (middle-left box in the picture above) and every single unit has unique set of locks and keys... So if you lost all keys you need to buy new unit with new key. Or... my situation... if any idiot will damage ignition lock... you must buy with new lock also new key and immobilizer unit. This complete set costs $1000.

Next... I need replace part of steering column where steering wheel locking system is (broken totally) and bracket for ignition lock (all in the picture below)



Total cost: $500

... an finally last $500 is for work (replace ignition, locks, wires, steering column, etc) and some broken plastic parts...

I hate these things!!!! Martin, I'm Sad for you..

Good Luck mate!

i think we should start a 6gc stupid accident insurance thing on here, whenever something like this happens, all of us can help contribute to the cause of getting the communities cars back up to par again

sorry about your misfortune, i hope they get a taste of their own medicine someday and i hope you get your car to how you would like it (if not better )

[azian_advanced]

that's terrible! is it covered under insurance? did they steal anything?

[Rayme]

Ouch that sucks manm put the insurance on it and get it fixed properly...

Toyota's immobilizer system..makes it hard, if not imposible to start the car without the good key...thankfully it would have been worst if you woke up with no car!

[99GT]

Actually for me I would rather they steal a whole car than just to messed up the ride. To me that's more painful to endure. But that's just me.

[Culpable04]

such a nice car, someone had to come mess with it,

my car is not as nice as yours martin but I live with the fear of waking up one day with an empty parking space. let's say my neighborhood is not so quiet.

[Batman722]

I'm so sorry Martin

did they steal anything from the car ? or just mess it up ?

that's like a nitemare for me

anything anything anything you need, let me know.

martin man, thats terrible. I hope you can get every thing fixed and hopefully you get a good alarm for it so that wont happen again. Do you have any where safer to park it? like a driveway? or garage?

[frosty]

God, People are idiots!!! I don't know what else to say about it. Crap like this makes me so angry that I just want to beat the crap out of something.

Good thing they were too stupid to know how to "hotwire" it and get away with it.


Bad luck like this is happening everywhere. A girl on the mr2 forums had her car stolen. Luckly the people took it just for a joyride and she found it a few days later and a town over.

[Supersprynt]

I hate people. Is there any insurance that will cover it?

[zero07]

I hate to see that, it always pisses me off. Ive always said, "theres no bigger p***y than a man that f**ks with another mans car".

[kerosene]

wtf is with everyones celica getting ****ed up... no alarm?

[malpaso]

Thanks again for comments and especially for support (Dustin you are real friend)... Unfortunately my insurance will not cover this so I must pay for it my self . However thanks to god those idiots didn't know what has real value in my car so e-manage and gauges has not been stolen. They even did not open a hood or hatch... So all valuable parts not missing (only few CD's, cell phone hands free, etc. missing... no big deal at all).

Today I will visit few junkyards around to find:
- drive and passenger side outside handles (most wanted) because they are broken inside from screw driver breaking


- steering column because of that st.wheel lock part


- some interior plastics (all brackets are braked off... however they may be glued or something)

so if anyone knows about those plastic door handles (especially) let me know please
