Wow... that sucks. Unless you got a 3SGTE... those thieves just wasted a crap load of time/work... Maybe it's time for a swap... ;]

This is such BS. You walked out and didn't notice your hood was gone ? BS all the way. If you said the engine was in a garage and it was broken into it would be a bit more believable...

Sounds like u needed an alarm frown.gif. i got an alarm as soon as some people got in my car and stole the stero, they tried to hotwire it from the steering wheel, but i guess they couldn't frown.gif. ya anyway u need an alarm once u get a new engine. oh and parking in the street is a no no. thats the one night my shot got took was in the street.

Jezz, your saying that someone spent a night in pitch black conditions to jack a 5s. That is just a horrible thing, its kinda funny though.

I'm thinking BS on this. you have to be really out of it not to realize your motor and hood is gone. Plus the noise that taking an engine out would wake someone up.

BS

its not like removing an engine is like popping out a battery out of a flashlight and replacing it

you mean to tell me....someone(s) cracked open your hood, unplugged every hose/wire/electronic component, removed all bolts and nuts, dropped the transmission out, and used an engine lift (without removing the hood no less) to wheel your engine out of the bay and down the street....all within a night without anyone hearing/seeing this??

and they call me a crackhead rolleyes.gif

yeah you could do it in a shop. Getting one of our engines out especially in a GT is a hard thing to do. And like everyone was saying I think that this is BS. You can't just jack an engine in the middle of the night without someone seeing something. Unless you live near a bunch of people that don't give a crap about what goes on in there neighborhood, and you were stoned/drunk off your ass. How could you not notice something wrong there? Simply amazing if this is true but I call BS.

are your parents loaded?

what i get out of this is a good plan without complete logic.
Parents are loaded, you want 3S w/ top-mount of C-One hood
you get sum ppl to take engine and hood, show parents and want to claim it or w/e
