My Type R was stolen on Monday, January 12th from the D.C. area (Vienna to be exact).
Anyone else had theirs stolen?
Keep an eye out for it!

-Furious
They better not have ripped it for parts. At least let it live. It only had 28,000 miles on it and was in perfect condition.

:evil: :x :!:

 

sorry to hear that piece of shit fuckers cant work for thiers so they have to take from those who bust thier asses for they have!!!!!

 

My first ITR (1998) was stolen after only 9 months and 6k miles of use. I'm about to buy my second ITR, and was hoping that thieves would have moved on to other cars ... guess I'm wrong and now wondering how long before I lose another. My condolences on your loss, and definitely point out the true market value of the ITR vs stock Integras to your insurance company when it comes to a financial settlement.

 

I hate to see and hear this! I hate thieves as my 00si was stolen and my only hope is that your insurances gives you enough to fix it correctly or
pay if off so you can buy a new one! please tell me what kind of security
you had on the car? I have my 01 over secured but am always into new
ideas on keeping her safe,again sorry to hear this the 97's are so nice and so rare hate to loose another one!

 

I would love to at least hear of one person who recovered their stolen R.
It doesn't matter how much security you have. If they want it, they'll take it. I think it would take a 007 type security device to stop them.

I also live on a residential backend street, so whoever took it had to have found my address attached to the type of car.

I'm also curious whether anyone had lojack on theirs and didn't get it back???

And did anyone's insurance come close to covering its value?

 

My R was stolen back in July of 03 it was recovered but I was missing fenders, lights, hood, and wire harness. I was lucky not to have the motor touched or the interior.

 

Did they catch the culprits when you got your car back, or was it abandoned?

 

Im hurtin over your loss,
Hope you find it in one piece. I'm getting paranoid since I'm moving to some apartments where they have covered parking in a gated community... Where I live now it is my private garage.... I don't know what I would do if mine was stolen....

 

they were caught but got off because the officer forgot to read there rights to them. What a wonderful justice system we have. In anycase, dont let your insurance company brand your title if you get the car back. They did that to me and it voided my warrenty.

 

Let's put an end to all this type R theft and mutilation.
Best suggestion I have is to make sure there is no record of your home address associated with your car. Use a PO Box at the DMV, the Acura dealership, the insurance company, and any place you've ordered custom accessories from.
No security device will stop them, and few will come close if they come pick the car up with a flatbed.
Still though, use as many devices as you can get your hands on. Make them work for it a little if they manage to get it.
And lojack. Let's increase the number of recoveries and arrests.
For those without a garage, get a tire iron like the police use for unpaid tickets in a lot of places. Put it on when you're not going to drive for a few days or more. Wheel locks are a must. Put every device you're willing to take the time to use on it. Nothing will stop them, but it can slow them down or make them think twice about yours.
