STOLEN! 91 e30 V8 - Houston area

[EREKSHUN]

man i hate hearing news like this. i got my pride and joy stolen when i was 18 many moons ago and i never recovered my track 82 Z-28. Heart breaker.....

wait this guy has a build thread here, right?

i hope for the best for him, but that build thread had a ton of pics/videos showing his location, how the car was stored (outside, along with his roommate's M3), showing off all the parts he had in it..

sometimes it's best to be discreet and wary of the world.

not the same car my cars fenders were all beat up

Just put in a couple kill switches...no need to remove anything.

I few years ago I used the drivers seat belt as a switch in my brothers car and cut the ground wire in the clutch switch, ran it to the seat belt and back. That way not only would you have to press in the clutch but you would have to put on your seat belt before starting the car. Noone is going to steal a car and put on a seat belt as they are attempting to steal it...at least the guys that tried stealing my brothers car 4 times in one year anyways.

Dont want to scare ya but there are tow trucks that dont give a flying fuck about kill switches. My last car was a pretty basic honda (nothing fancy) but I had 2 kill switches, alarm, my alternator was removed, wheels locks (ha!), etc and they just towed that bitch away. To be honest I have no idea what they thought was worth money on that car.

In that case then we should all just leave our cars unlocked with the keys in it.

I know there are thief's with tow trucks...but the common thief does not and a simple kill switch will make them look elsewhere to steal a car. I had a buddy who 4 years ago had his brand new R32 stolen right out of his driveway by thief's with a tow truck. These guys were not rookies at what they did.

Atleast you will save hundreds of dollars when they jack it, not having to install multiple anti-theft devices.

In all seriousness... we need more trunk monkeys.
