T-spoon's last hoo-rah, sad day Options

[NgoFcukinWay]

So I went over to my mechanic's today to grab some stuff out of the Celica since he was holding onto it while I looked for a buyer for the car since it knocked Easter Weekend. When I got there, assistance flags me down half way between the parking lot and the shop and tells me my car's been broken into and they took the wheels. He told me they were trying to look for our contact number to tell us about the incident but they couldn't find it. I thought he was joking at first like he normally does, but sure enough, I walk behind the shop and there's my car....sitting on bricks....on its rotors....

The wretched thieves smashed the driver's side door handle pretty well and ripped out the lock cylinder to get into the car. They tore out the center console pretty well with the shifter bezel and AC/radio bezel together in one piece. They took the half-broken Alpine CDA-9857 and iPod cable along with the pocket under the radio. I'm pretty sure all the pocket had was the two remotes for both of my Alpines and the "Toyota", "Celica", and "GT" badges. They took the 12" Infinity sub and 250Watt monoblock MTX Thunder amp I had in the trunk along with my $20 Wal-mart floor jack and lug wrench from the trunk. They left the S-AFC2 though. I also think they took like $3 in loose change from the assorted pockets. I think that's about all they got from inside the car.

Outside, they took the Enkies I had for sale along with the lug nuts and left the car on bricks. That was nice of them to do that and not leave the car on its frame. Those were new rotors & pads too. bah.

I'll have pics up later tonight or tomorrow morning. I wasn't expecting this to happen so I didn't have my camera with me. What a sh*tty feeling.

Plans thus far for the car are:

1.) Hand it over to Death so he can fix it for his kid
2.) Part it out
or
3.) Take off what I can, and donate the car as a tax write-off

Sucks! sorry to hear about this. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help, you have some great people in your area.

NOOO i hate stupid people! why would someone do that to a car? thats like murder.....reading this makes me more protective of my car....hmm im really sorry that totally sucks though gl with whatever happens down the road though

Sorry to hear that. It just proves how stupid some people are. Couple years back I had my car parked at my g/f's place. Somebody took a brick, smashed my passenger's window to pieces, smashed the center console to try to pry $80 Ebay radio out. They couldn't get the radio out but they damaged it beyond repair and smashed the detachable face...
They completely missed $300 Valentine One detector under the seat.

Overall almost $500 worth of damages and NOTHING STOLLEN!
Here is the best part: I had the radio removal tool in the glovebox, they tried to use it, failed AND left CLEAR FINGERPRINT on it. When the cop came and I showed them the tool HE EVEN DIDN'T BOTHER TO INVESTIGATE!!! Hell, it took me about five minutes to even convince him to step outside of his cruiser to take a closer look.

Makes you wish that, if you catch somebody braking in your ride, you could take a baseball bat and beat them to bloody plump and get away clean.

At least some of her stuff will live on in mine and other cars. I miss having Tspoon to roll with tho

We got that beat. In texas it's legal to shoot the MFs if they are in your car. I'm told by the cops it's best to put the bullet through your window and into his head to kill him so he can't try to sue you. What a fcuked up world.

Sad to hear man, I had my car broken into few years back and they first ****ed the door lock, after failing to open it smashed the window and ripped the whole dash out.

But this isn't CSI man, fingerprints are expensive and are only used in serious cases. Car thieves are almost never caught which is sad.

Well, sorry, but I disagree. Theft is a theft. There is no such a thing as "small" theft or "large" theft. The way I see it: if you walk in grocery store and get caught stealing, regardless you might have stolen $50 worth of stuff you will get prosecuted and you WILL get punished. The asshole(s) who broke in my ride actually caused over $500 of damage, left figerprints and got away clean. I don't think it costs big bucks to take a single fingerprint and compare it to a database. Unfortunately the dougnut-eaters here in Ohio are only good to give a frivolous tickets (like "loud' muffler and "failure to use turning signals" while turning from exclusively turning lane) but when it comes to real cop work they are not worth sh*t. Too much work I guess...

BTW NgoFcukinWay sorry for hijacking the thread...

Well, here's pics of the carnage.










I'm not sure what to do now. I'd love to keep the car, but it feels like it's been tainted and it won't be like what it used to be. Just the idea that it's been violated like that makes me uncomfortable. I think I just my cut my losses and let both cars (the Celica and the Supra) go at a lost and just save up and start clean on something else.

What's sh1tty is that Matt (DEATH) and I were discussing that morning about reviving T-Spoon once my Supra got sold, but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen...

quick question to every one...if you were a thief and had no respect for ppls things woud you put the car on blocks or let it sit on the ground...... specialy after messin the door up like that??????......
i know i wouldnt be wasting time to throw blocks in there id just kick that jack out and peace...same with the lock....id bust the window and save time.... some thing is fishy about this..... i think the cops should have informed you after it happened.....not hard to read the plates or the reg and find out who owns it.......something is up man.........hope you sort it out...i am sad to see T spoon go.....i hope you dont give up on it man

[808celica]
