While I was golfing today someone decided that they needed my car more than I do. It turns out that it was the fourth Honda stolen in the area in 2 days...3 today. If you're wondering if I play golf in a bad area, it wasn't. Actually the golf course is across the street from Google's headquarters.
Luckily I didn't have anything of real value in the car, but it was a good car that was paid off and it will be hard to find one that was taken care of that well for the amount I'm likely to get for it.
There happens to be a Greatful Dead concert at the amphitheater next to the golf course all this week. The cops think the dead heads are stealing cars to get around in-between concerts. I guess a lot of them hitchhike in to the show.

That absolutely sucks arse. Dude, I would freak out if someoen stole my car. I mean getting stuff stolen out of your car is one thing...but to take the whole damn car. I dunno, praying for ya bud.

Shockingly I was more pissed when my car got broken into. I don't know, maybe with so much other sh*t piling up right now it just seems surreal. I will say that this hasn't been the best year so far.

Jeez Tyler ... Sorry to hear this. As someone who has also had a run of bad luck with cars, I can sympathize. You have Lo-Jack or any similar product on it ?

No, I never put lo-jack on it. My buddy watched is car drive away and called the police to tell them to activate lo-jack; the car was never recovered.

The best anti theft device is a engine kill switch. I can't remember the company but basically if the vehical is more than a km from a key chain fob, the vehicle will not start, and if it's on the move it will kill the engine. Imagine stealing a car only having it stall on you within eyesight of the owner.
There are also ignition kill switches I believe.

The late Grand Cherokee had a gizmo you could pull and prevent the car from starting. When I would leave it at the airport, I would pull it and hide it in the car. Paranoia kept me from taking it (since luggage might be stolen or lost and post 9-11 it might not make it thru security) so I would hide it inside the vehicle.
-
Man, sorry to hear about the bad luck Ty.
-
Sorry to hear about that Tyler.
That is horrible.
-
Sorry to hear this Tyler. It will probably show up in a few days.

Bad news buddy :(

Toyota. My dad has one.
Sorry to hear about the car, Tyler. It seems like the old adage "It never rains, but it pours" is true. It seems like once something goes wrong, more things are bound to follow. Hope this is the end of it.

damn dude! that sucks. i'll be praying for ya!

That sucks. I've never had my car stolen but I've had my car broken into twice. I think I'd be less pissed off if the whole car were stolen also.
Were you at Shoreline Golf Club?

Sorry to hear that T. At least you did not get hurt.
-
Sorry to hear about your car :Xo!
-
Hey T, that sucks! So sorry to hear that. I'll be sure to tell my girlfriend - she has a Honda too and of course lives in your area.
All my best - Citizen Tyler
-
I'm sorry to hear that Tyler. :(
I hope you recover from this and enjoy life again.
-
Man! Sorry to hear of your loss. Car theft is on the rise in my area too. Instead of Hondas, Jeep Wranglers are the choosen brand.
Eight have been stolen in the last two weeks. Hope they just took it for a joy ride. Best of luck for a speedy recovery!

Sorry to read such bad news!
Last year our family van, our good VW T4 has been stolen. My wife and me have been on tour in NZ and our children wrote an SMS with this news. It hurts.

Years ago, when I was on the street, we used to get Hondas stolen all the time. The bangers used to turn them into little street racers. There used to be a 2 door sport coupe that Honda made that was especially popular and one of the Civic models was pretty hot, too.
Surprising (to me, anyway) to hear that about the DeadHeads.
-
Sorry to hear about that Tyler ... I assume you haven't heard anything back from the cops in locating it.
Years ago, my friends car was stolen and the cops didn't seem to even look around for it. So, he drove up and down all the streets and eventually saw it parked in back of a house. He called the cops and told them to come immediately and he got it his car back, and they arrested the punks that stole it.
-
Sorry to hear that, brutha!!! :Xo! :x!
-
Any news from the car, Tyler ?
-
Tyler, sorry to hear about this bro! Hopefully things will turn around for ya!
-
Damn Tyler sorry to hear that dude. What goes around comes around, whoever stole it will get theirs eventually. :x!

Yeah, Shoreline.

Thanks guys. No news yet. The officer said that they most likely would have dropped it off within a couple hours of stealing it, but that it usually takes several days to find it. Though, if they find it quick it's usually because it's been stripped and is sitting on the side of the road. If they didn't do any major damage, it could take several days before someone reports it, especially if they park it in a parking lot.
The funny thing is that the car is a total cop magnet. Another funny thing is that the officer was Sly. When he asked if I had any stickers on the car I said, only one, it reads "Sly Bald Guys." Then he asked if that was a website and I said "yep." He said, "I've been there before, do you own it?" Again, I said, "yep." So that got us chatting a bit about websites.

Hire a private investigator, find who took it, then kick his sorry ass! lol
-
Sorry to hear that Tyler.
-
So sorry to hear about your car- I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and real shi--y thought about the jerk(s) who did it.
-
That sucks Tyler!! Really sorry to hear about that, hopefully it will be alright!!
-
Sorry to hear about your car Tyler. That is one of the nice things about living on this island no worries about car theft. I leave my key in the ignition of the car all the time. They don't steal cars here because they have no place to go.
