my 9/11 morning so far**FOUND THE BASTARD*
 

i walked out into my driveway at 5:30am to go to work this morning and found this. i was not impressed. needless to say, i did not go to work. i'm just glad my car in the garage was not touched. i know the insurance will cover it, but i'm pissed anyway. i wish i had caught them in the middle of it. what baffles me the most is that they were the factory 15" rims and rubber. what is the point? no one ever claimed theives to be smart.

A free jack!??!
SWEEET!

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

holy crap.. man people are so cheap...

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

Yeah, they could have at least left you a Craftsman jack :-\







That sucks about your wheels. Theives blow. What's going to be going on as a replacement?

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

ouch letting hte nose just hit hte ground like htat. fuckers need to die..

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

i just called the honda dealership to price replacements for when my insurance company calls me back so atleast i have a price for them. installed, balanced, with lugs and taxes in.... over $3300CDN! i don't think i'll be putting those back on. i will however invest in some locking lugnuts.

yeah, the jack is brand new, i don't think it has ever been used! i might go around to some local auto stores and see if this brand is sold anywhere and if they have sold any recently... maybe i could squeeze a credit card number out of them. i could be so lucky.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

I'd cut your losses and just buy new ones....your rates will get FUCKED for making a claim

how close are you to London?

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

Wow that's ------- gay. I'm so sick of thieves. If we would go back to the old days where thieves got thier fingers/hands chopped off we wouldn't have such a big problem. :-\ Singapore has the right idea......

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

i'm not too sure about the rates, i've made a theft claim on a different car in the past and had no change at all. they were really good about it, they had replacement parts for me inside a few hours. why do we have insurance if they jack the rates up after we make a claim? i've been with this insurance company for over 10 years and have no complaints.

i am in waterdown, close to burlington, about 1.5 hours from london. why do you ask?

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

Dominican= caught 0nce=one finger 3rd time= hand
5th time=lynch'em up!!!

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

aaron, i would just settle for 2g from the insurance (saving them some money) and get something aftermarket.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

get some finger prints off the thing

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

Seriously. If you have to handle it use rubber gloves. Hopefully their dumb asses forgot to do so :-\

That really seriously blows dude.. sorry that some asspirates decided they wanted your rims. I don't have to worry about this ----.. I used to leave my windows down and the key underneath the floormat, there's virtually no car theft around here.. anyways, good luck man.. hopefully you get some prints and nail their asses.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

ya u just have to worry about little animals forcing you into ditches. lol. :P

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

Bastard.. :P

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

I was gonna say, a buddy of mine owns an import shop here in London and he has a nice rim and tire package for $1000
Kumo rubber and i forget what rims...but there is a few to chose from...17's btw

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

dude that happened to my friend not so long ago. same car they took the wheels off just like yours, but were nice enought o leave it on so blocks

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

i didn't even know it was 9/11 until i looked at this thread like 3 times


checkout stealthmode's for sale thread he has those rs-limited wheels or whatever for $330 shipped anywhere in the us, if you know someone close to you on the us boarder side(not sure exactly wehre your at cuz i dont know canada) but then you could either hook it up that way or pay a little bit extra shippin

other than that, that ------ sucks i'd love to get some bitches a beat down for that

i live out in the boonies and my s hit is kept in the garage so i dont really worry about it, plus i can tell if someone is following me home

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

I would car more about the nose of the car than I would the wheels, Your rates wont go up because its not your fault. It will look nicer with some gunmetal bling blingz anywayz ;)

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

if you take it to an autoprats store you'll prolly just find out that it was stolen, and they'll take your free jack too.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

yeah, Mike has kick ass deals on rims with rubber, you can get pretty sick wheels for under 2g's

BTW spoon fed, add me to msn.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

Aaron, sorry to hear about those wheels. Get the insurance money, an aftermarket set of wheels, and a double barrel shotgun. 8)

This is what I have right now. $330 was for 5 sets in the group buy, but I'll see what more I can do for you if you'd like.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

dam thats shitty man.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

Shameless plug eh steve?

He needs 5 lug btw

sorry to hear about your shitty luck.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

new Si isn't 5 lug, only DC5-S/R are 5 lug.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

just look at the bright side, the theives basically traded your stock wheels for a nice set of volks if insurance covers it

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

thats not true, just yesterday i was at the honda dealer, 2 si's with 5 lug sitting right their, thats why i said that.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

it only has 4 lugs..if u look at the rear hub in the second pic u can tell

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

i think they changed in 04 model year. ?

they DID change cuz they are 5 lug (the dealership ones anyways)

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

I think there all 5lug now for 04 ;)

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

thanks for all the support guys. i really do appreciate it. as for fingerprinting the jack and handle. the police basically told me not to waste their time in not so many words. "it would be too difficult to get prints off it because of its' shape, the prints would be distorted" yeah, yeah. i guess it doesn't qualify as a real crime for them.

as for replacements, i will have to wait and see what the claims adjuster says when he comes on monday. hopefully they will just cut me a cheque. there is a place local that sells stuff pretty cheap, i will probably end up going there, but thanks for the offers steve and spoonfed.

they are 4x100's. honda changed them the following year to 5's. the problem is the 4's fit everything older and it is the punks who decide to jack them.

thanks all for the words of encouragement.
aaron

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

So what constitutes a finger printing? Does somebody have to die? Why the ---- not take fingerprints? If they have a way of catching these shitbags, why not do it? Letting them get away with it is just going to get more ---- stolen from other people. Then our insurance rates go up, which is another reason I don't have insurance(let's not start that argument).

It doesn't make sence. The only thing I can think of is the cops are lazy. When I was like 10 I vandalized some property at an Equestrian estate my mom owned horses at. They took fingerprints off a bottle trhat was left behind, but couldn't figure out who's they were. All they knew was they were from a young person. They questioned another kid that I did it with and the ----- narked himself off along with me. ::) If he hadn't have told they wouldn't have caught us. I can't believe they would take fingerprints off a bottle that was used in vandalizing a couple hundred dollars worth of property, but they won't take fingerprints from a theft of a couple thousand dollars. :-\

Check that guy out, maybe he knows something.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

If it is, or it isn't, good looking out. ;)

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

This guy is almost too desperate to sell them, and he's willing to sell them for real cheep.

Its funny how he's not a full time member, has only 48 posts and how he posted that up the same day that this thread was made. i would seriously check him out.

Also, its funny how when he picked the picture for his ad, he even got the color of the car right, i'm not saying he's guilty, because no on proved ---- yet, but its funny how everything comes together.

He also gave some guy a number that didnt work, he wont give out his phone number.

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

good lookin out is right. i wounder if it could be :-\

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

i'm looking into it. i will know if they are my rims the moment i see them. i know the distinct markings on them. they also have a certain discolouration on them.

i'll let everyone know. thanks again for the detective work.

aaron

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

Yeah man.. this really sucks. Go ahead and try to go with the lead of the jacks, and look out for some idiot runnin around with your rims. I would also lookout for that guy trying to sell the same rims that you had. Good luck anyways man.

Dan

Re:my 9/11 morning so far
 

i say you meet up with the guy selling the rims and beat the living snot outta him and take the rims.... even if they arent yours you know that they are stolen for him to be selling them so cheap ;D
