Are you saying that if you left it in the driveway, it would get stolen? The fact that you keep it in the garage leads one to assume that you think all of TR are thieves. Am I right?

How fucking low. To steal a car period,
but to steal that car.
I'll keep my eyes open

I serously wish people would stop accusing me of stealing the car back. Yes I am the previous owner of the car. I have been working my ass of and building cars since I was 15 years old. I grew up around cars and have been into them all my life. I have been in contact with tumble constatly since this has happened and I am honestly upset about the whole thing as he is. It is like someone kidnapped my kid. Me along with many other people have put their blood, sweat, and tears into this build and the only reason I sold it was due to my situation at college, which is 14+ hours away from tampa. I would never steal anything from anyone, just like I would not like anyone to steal from me. I am doing everything in my power to make sure that Tumble gets all or most of the invoices for parts and labor on the car so atleast he is covered and doesnt loose everything. I am sure if you contacted tumble he would agree with me 100% that I had absolutely nothing to do with this, and if I knew that it would have ended up getting stolen and chopped up by some punk ass thief that is too fucking lazy to get a damn job and building his own car then I would have never sold it in the first place.
end rant

I'm pretty sure he said in his last post not to act like all of TR are thieves.

Most likely if you leave your nice Honda in your driveway,and thieves know about it/want it,it will be stolen.

Keeping the car in the garage is just a precautionary measure,sorta like another form of insurance.

Plus I'm 90% sure thieves lurk in the cars for sale forum watching who buys what car,finds out who they are/where they live,and then steal it.

i can't believe more people don't buy boots...to immobilize their own car. if i owned a honda and didn't have a garage...i'd boot the car and chain it to a tree or fence or something...to at least make it way harder to get the car rolling. i can break into a honda (and most cars for that matter) within 20 seconds...which is exactly what these guys did.

in any case...good luck finding the shell...although if these guys are good at what they're doing they'll cut it up and turn it into a recycling yard for cash.
