Update - I just checked the DMs ( junkmail ) on my Instagram.
99.9% of it is always porn, so I just delete it.

But one stood out as a name i remembered, so i clicked on it.

Some guy saw it parked on a dead end street in downtown last Sunday.
He said it even looked the same.
Image that ! The thieves drove it around complete with the aeromods still on it.

But that was a week ago !!

I'm such a fool for not checking my social media DMs.

If it is still there, i have to go get it.
Wondering if i can even drive it using my key now.

I called the police, but just get voicemail.

So the good news, is that it may have been some kids just doing a prank.

My anxiety is so bad that i was considering abondoning the car there rather than go there to get the car. ( agoraphobia )


I really hope this works out. Wish me luck.

Hire a bounty hunter/personal bodyguard to ride along with you.

Kids may be dumb but they aren't fools. Like the people that stole GAGA's dogs: the dogs were un salable so were let loose.

I didn't even know she had dogs, but anyway, even a mixed-breed dog like mine might stand out enough to get tracked and returned safely.

I hope you get it back, undamaged.

My stolen car was found.
The steering column is destroyed.
I could connect random wires together to try and start it, but I'm afraid of accidently firing off the airbag.

It looks like the kids that stole it had a miserable time with the car and abandoned it.

They tried to rip off the kammback / box cavity, but I built it to withstand really strong winds.
It looks like they bashed it loose with a hammer, and in the process smashed some of the roof and side if the car.
What was left was dangling, and it looks like they used some yarn i had in the car for a tuft test to hold it up.
There is yarn tied to the side of the car too, and attached to the door. I wonder what they were doing !

It cost me $ 450 to get my car out of police impound and have it towed back.
The police never contacted me to tell me the car was going to be taken to the impound. Every day adds another $20 to the initial $277 fee.

[EDIT / ADMIN NOTE: this post was made AFTER the above announcement, which I merged here after the fact]

If you've got bad agoraphobia, use social media to get people to confirm it for you.

I bet Austin has some FB groups or subReddits where posting "HELP ME FIND THIS CRAZY LOOKING STOLEN CIVIC" would be not only appropriate subject matter, but probably eagerly acted upon.

I should have posted my last post here.
I was just trying to inject a little humour into this.

( " Does anyone here know how to hotwire a car " )

Not sure if I should ask you guys to delete it and have me just repost the pictures here.

OOoo! Fantastic!

I'm going to move that post & pics over here. Let's not splinter this suspenseful topic!
