Someone tried to steal my FR-S today - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

NomoreNA · 03-27-2013, 09:41 PM

Well I got home from working out of town today to find my driver side window busted out and the plastic cover around the ignition tumbler busted up. It's at the dealer now waiting on a new window to come in. I was informed by one of the sales reps that anyone in or around the Florida area have been getting hit pretty hard with frs thefts (not sure how true this is). Here are a few pics I took before it was moved to the dealer luckily the forensics team was able to lift prints.

nice shoe print they left behind for me. Guess they were not planning on the door still not opening from the inside after the glass was broken out.

I'm sorry to hear it.

Tint and an alarm will help deter this crap in the future.

Before others say it, yes, if a good thief really wants the car, they will get it.

Oooh, thats scary

Sorry to hear the bad news, thieves suck! I have had multiple theft attempts on my civic and my alarm helped deter the attempts. I highly recommend getting a Viper alarm, I have the Viper 5904V on my FRS and gives me a peace of mind when its out of the garage.

Sorry to hear, that sucks.

When i bought my FRS in July of last year they told me one of the reasons the insurance was so high because the car was being stolen so fast. I think around 7 were stolen at that time.

Thats insane. I hate thieves. Someone trying stealing my first car (Civic) within the first 48 hours of ownership. Apparently they didnt notice that the steering wheel was missing until they had already shattered the driver side window. My sisters Civic was stolen from the same spot too.

And Im surprised the cops were that proactive with bringing the forensics unit out for prints, not that anything will come of it. I'm sorry to be a pessimist, but cops typically don't give two shits about car thefts - at least from prior experience.

I just switch to the immobilizer map on my Unichip when I'm in a bad area or its going to sit somewhere.

When I caught some thieves trying to steal my WRX in Nassau County, LI the cops who stopped (they were a block away and came over to see what was going on) called a forensic team. They got there in under 5 minutes and printed the car. Thieves were wearing gloves, though.
