Stolen Grill

[exxr]

Hey,

This is so stupid that i had to post it. Someone stole the grill off my series 2 on Sunday night while it was parked in my carport. I was there and heard stuff but didn't realize what was happening until i saw it on Monday morning.

I mean for f9cks sake who does this shit? who goes around looking for cars that they can take parts off? like they can't afford to spend 150 bucks?? WTF? wasn't even carbon or anything and my car is stock as a rock.

so anyway this was in churchlands if anyone wants more detail (or has details) please pm me.

i am suspicious of a dark wrx that i had not seen before which was parked in the visitors bays that night. and i heard them come and go around the time i heard strange noises outside..

just a heads up for you all who don't have your cars garaged

[Tomei_33]

can that be done without damaging the car/grill?

someone with a s1 doing a s2 conversion

damn that sux....

Most just pull out cause the clips on them are rooted. but if the clips work you would have to lay down and put your arm up through the bottom of the bumper.

can that be done without damaging the car/grill?

Far out, they must have had really small hand to get the grill off if the bonnet was down, those grills are a pain to get off if the clips aren't broken.

yeah i'm not sure if the clips were broken from before or not. no real damage done to the car apart from a couple of scratches on the bumper

and since i have no FMIC that would make it easy to stick the hand up to reach it

Damn theres some half wits floating around...

i park my hr31 in the city. as i was leaving the carpark i realised my indicators were playing up. i though a bulb had just blown, i got home to find a front indicator (rectangle one in the bumper) was missing completely, not just the lens the whole lot including wires & plug!

r31jspec from r31 forums had a spare he gave me for free

What Tight asses !

[NA_Goodness]

Thats just sad. I picked one up for $80 a while ago, so its not like their expensive!! Hope it turns out for you mate, this sort of thing is way too common

[exxr]

well..got another grill - $100

turns out that they did break one of the stays on the light fitting that it clips in to. probably couldn't be arsed un-clipping it and just yanked the shit off. it was a new light as well.

wasn't pissed off at first but now it's really hit me how lame this is and the trouble i have to go to fix it. what losers if i ever catch the fu4kers i'll rip their eyes out

Same shit happened to my 32, except they didnt take the wiring just the indicator. Got orange ones for 50bucks but still a pain in my ass.

Might look into ways to secure it on, with allan key bolts or something.

Pretty sad when you have to theif proof your grill.

This sort of stuff happens more than you might think - my Aunt has a lx ss hatch she has owned it since new. While it was in a parking garage in the city where she works she had her side mirrors stolen! Some people have no shame

this happened to me when 300zx was parked outside my house. They smashed the window facing the street and stole the AVCR screen in the car...and not the solenoid..so wth?

[R32_4DR]

probly just young dumb f*ks doing it for a laugh or something wat area is this happening in??

[MP_R33]

not good matee.. low life scum out there..

[Stealthed]

Mine is just 2 screws that hold the mesh of the grill on so it would be easy to take...hmm maybe i should make it abit more secure

Damn low life's out there.
