Five Cars That'll Force Car Thieves To Think Twice - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This is old and maybe posted on here at some point(which I can't find) but I thought it was pretty funny.

Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ

Hell hath no fury like Toyobaru owners. Like NA Miata owners, Toyobaru owners are likely to know their cars down to the last detail instead of focusing on the car's lack of power. I wouldn't be surprised if they memorized the compression ratios or the suspension spring rates. As a result, if their car is stolen, an owner will go to the ends of the earth to find the car.

Most importantly, Toyobaru owners are constantly on forums. Chances are they know exactly what aftermarket parts they have on the car along with any serial number you can possibly think of. So good luck to thieves attempting to sell those expensive parts to the chop shops. And forum people help people track down their cars, and have sometimes been very successful.

It doesn't matter though, once the car is chopped it is lost. So you get an insurance check or you are SOL. Sounds like a facebook post more than anything else. But I didn't read more than your excerpt. Also never heard of "clunkerture.com"

The clunker site even says that they stole the copy from a different blog at the end.

I watched this really great documentary on air travel the other day. You won't believe what happens...
