that's what happened to my brothers "new" car. the shop i work at had a car towed in. the guy told us that he's not sure what's wrong with it, it just wont start. after checking it out, we found out that not only were the airbags stolen, but the ECU also. the guy said he didnt want to try and get all that fixed, so we were able to buy it from him for really cheap (the car that is) my brother got a ECU from ebay and the thing started right up.
