don't you have to drop the engine craddle to get the engine out? unless you unbolt the tranny i guess. maybe they took the car somewhere stripped it and gave it back....

That'd be having some really nice crackheads in the neighborhood.

I dont understand why somone would do it to a toyota. I know my Dad knew a few guys that would go into his restruant that would steal engines. It was in B-more. Mostly corvette engines though, or bmws/ benz's .. The would rip the hood off, one guy would un bolt everything or cut it.. then the three/four guys would rap chains around it and then pull it out and throw it into the van witch would be right next to the car. Dont know how long or what was involved, but they did it. The also offerd to give my dad a new vette engine for a tab at the bar.. lol

24 hour parts service, my stepdad use to drive around with a 10 foot flat bed trailer. Then in his truck he had air compressor and full line of tools, and would take orders durning the day and get parts at night with his buddies. Pretty F'd up if ya ask me, but he did it :/

BS Flag

Remanu'd 5S costs 400 bucks if that

And anyone would notice that the engine was out. Your a brand new member probably comming from another board to make a story and see if people believe. Even if you have pictures, chances are you are doing a swap. Story is BS. You drive a 3000 dollar car pal.

The front end would raised and when he sat down he would've noticed the big difference in the feeling. But I guess he's a knucklehead kid.

as much as i dont belive the story, i can understand not realizing the motor was gone, I get up at 6am for school and i'm practicly dead (i stay up to late) but i would probibly not notice if my motor was gone till tryed starting it. if the hood was still on, and did not have any major damage. I doubt this story is real but if it is I would love to congragulate they guys that did that, for a great job of being fast, and quiet, but most of all for there down right stupidity, and worthless effort.
