STOLEN! 91 e30 V8 - Houston area

[MJCRO]

Shit man, hope you really find it.

The last thing houston needs is people like these. Sorry for the loss, i'll keep an eye out.

Here's a tracking tip. Worked for a friend - Ask the police if there are any parking tickets for the car. Then ask where they were given. If you have some luck, you may find it still parked there or in the area.

not trying to be a douche but if you invested so much into it why don't you have gps? I have one in my car that I have invested so much money into it. Extra protection, it has its own battery and charges when the car is on, lasts up to 72 hours. Also emails/text you when the car moves.

Sorry for your loss, sucks.... no one should mess with a mans car...

hope you get it back

Stated value insurance vs lojack style systems.

On top of that good luck getting a cop to give a shit, tons of stories of people calling the cops, giving them the location and them just never doing anything about it. Gotta love government incentive!

Good luck on finding it!

heh the cop who investigated my stolen car (called after car was found) didnt even get his fat ass out of the car to take the report. Even tho there were clear figerprints in the rearview mirror that were not mine.


GPS jammers do work but so does driving really fast until you reach a very thick walled building. Anywhere yours GPS wont work goes ditto for the GPS alarm tracker. I feel the best combo would be a GPS tracker + lojack (works with beacons) + loud dog + your paranioa. Lojack does have its drawbacks mainly being they install in the same location across same models (so ive heard...) so it isnt a big secret where to look for them unless you can bribe the lojack tech to install it someplace else, then promptly kill the lojack tech (and the nosey neighbor) so only you know. But as pricey as those two are you really need to have a great build or an M3 for it to be economical.

You can buy GPS jammers for like $20. Any competent car thief should have one.

CWW reps. You can find them as multi lug all over the place including straight from china. Get the 9 not 8.

more specifically you can check here for these non multi lug: http://www.felgenwerks.com/products/...chine-lip.aspx

Yeah, I figured they were CCW reps, but what diameter, width, offset, and tires.

Thank you all for all of the support and help! also joncrz I really appreciate you posting this !

Would it be too much to ask about your wheel/tire setup? That's exactly how I'd like my car to look someday.
