      Well it seems that all of your eyes were for not. The East LA Sheriff called me today to tell me they found the car and this is all that was left.

      All of my personal belongings are gone, as well as most of the mods. I'm probably just going to let this one go.



      Thanks for keeping an eye out for things, it looks like the thieves were too strong for the police this time.

          Ary,

          I left you a message the other day. Be on the look out for your rims with some small curb rash on the passenger side rear wheel.

                Alright man, I understand that while it is depressing seen all of your hard work go to some schmuck, you have to do a little detective work yourself. From what I can tell, the wheels went to a Honda, look at the wheel that has been used to keep your shell rolling, unless the tow truck driver did that., also the rest of the body is salvageable as mentioned above and you can have that color interior again in no time. The is lip looks to be in good condition, which leads me to believe, that the thieves knew nothing about the car and were just looking for replacement parts for another e30 owned by a poseur and fresh wheels for another car. How's the engine on that car?, don't give up man just get your self back up and keep on trucking.

                I will still keep my eyes open for your stuff as the ESM wheels are bound to turn up.

                How much are the fees to get the car out of the pound?

                    OP any leads yet?
                    Of course. This is true for really anything.

                    All we can do is deter the crime.

                        Wow, I'm sorry. Thats really upsetting to see what they did to your car. I hope that your insurance is able to cover it and the valuables you lost. I'd say keep the shell if its as clean as it looks and slowly source parts until you can build it back up to where it was.

                        Really sorry about your loss again. I can't imagine how upset you are.

                          Sucks dude, and as much as it sucks seeing e30 like that it's probably peanuts compared to the hassle of replacing your personal belonings / documents / laptops.....

                          Hope that you somehow figure out who did this,...


                          Was the door lock/ignition locks damaged, have you looked at it carefully, did the cops take fingerprints?

                            They took the trunklid and mirrors... They are E30 enthusiasts I bet.
