STOLEN - 1986 M-Tech I Panzer Project

They weren't curt's tails. They were cracked startecs for $30 that an old man just wanted to pass along to give someone in the community a good deal. Curt had brand new MHWs.

So apparently someone bought startecs at the picnic for stupid cheap, and I guess the seller was only around for a half hour... Something stinks with that.

One day you will find out who did it because someone will slip up. Karma...

Anyone thinking this wasn't done by someone who is a member of R3v is naive. This is the premier E30 forum and I'm betting anyone in the pnw who turns a wrench to customize an E30 is on here. There IS a theif among us. Sorry to see this come to such a sucky ending. Hopefully someone is outed someday.

or those parts came off a junkyard car or parts car. there's no realistic way to track parts on cars this old.

Theres an old school trick where u spray the vin on parts with uv ink. Use a blacklight to find your parts.

[Nesset]

imagine you see the vin on a car at an e30 meet though... that would be the shit.

I would start swinging man... That guy would be on my shit list for sure.

Word.

If they are keeping an eye on this thread, they are nervous as shit about the hood and trunk vin being from their car (or someone close to them). That is a fucking great idea. Fingerprints shmingerprints.

First of all...this whole thing sucks. Very sorry. Side note, was riding Max yesterday and cruising IG. Van Westervelt's wife is smoking hot. I'm also married with two kids, so dude, you kinda win, even though this whole Charlie Foxtrot has been a kick in hte nuts.

[Van Westervelt]

The vins were scratched off and the car is going to be scrapped/auctioned off.

It's not the conclusion I ever wanted, but it's at least done.

[kid325e]

Any way you could get the vin#'s off the hood and trunk and post them here?

I've got a few resources that may pay off. Let us know! Personally, I think this is a good lead. Chances are they came off the same car that the parts went on to.

What is the insurances companies reasoning for not paying out the stated value?

Yea - additionally, fingerprints don't usually mean shit. The state databases are barely connected, and they'd have to have a record already to even be in there (in most cases). I had a full set of prints pulled on a B&E that occurred in my house (I saw them dust, saw the print and the pull) and nothing ever came from it.

Unless they steal some shit from a company or get pegged for armed robbery, 95% of this shit goes completely untouched. Detectives are slammed busy and if it's not a high dollar/profile crime they basically don't give a shit.
