Well.... about 2 days ago, my older sister's civic was stolen... This morning I heard it was found. And I was ver surprised what happend to it. nd Im ure you will too. This is a picture of what her car looked like.
 Now when you look at this civic you'd think... Yeh someone would totally strip this car down to nothing and leave out in the middle of nowehere. But guess what! Here's the damage that my sister told me happened.... The two 12 inch subs in the back were stolen The cd player stolen The entire dash was ripped out All the rims (17") were taken The Cds (around 350 of them) gone The credit Cards left in the car at the time it was stolen, not stolen My MP3 player that my sister stole from me, that was in her car when it got stolen, was stolen (so now she owes me a new MP3 player hahah) The entire body on the car.... not stripped off Im very surprised taht the car was not stripped down... Car was lucky I guess.... I dunno though... But yeah... the car was found in the middle of Seattle somewhere. So it went from Auburn all the way to Seattle. Yep... Its found now... --------------------  2003 Nissan Murano SE |

Yep... Our shop's Civic got stolen also... all that was taken was the generic system, the wheels (Rota slipstreams), one camshaft (was running a B16), and the plug wires. Then they smashed the car...
Civics are VERY easy to steal. It would take no longer than a few seconds and a screwdriver to do it... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

I don't think they had the proper tools. Getting to the camshafts is pretty easy on a B16 since the valve cover is easy to remove. Then you have the cam caps/covers and that's it. They broke the timing belt and took the camgear attached to that camshaft, and it seemed they started taking out the other... but it was connected to the dizzy so they gave up. Pretty dumb. The stock camshafts are worth next to nothing... the head... couple hundred bucks. That was only a few more bolts too... heh -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

My friends accord was stolen and they raced the hell out of it, burnt the clutch, curbed and dented a rim, and then left the car on the side of the road after taking his stereo system.
