Default Stolen Evo!!!

I know there isn't an import forum but we can all agree that thieves suck. My friends Evo was stolen from Baldwin Park in Orlando last night. Its a red Evo 9 MR, stock wheels, with a APR front splitter. Please let me know if you have any information or see the car.

Yes it was. The problem will be finding another car to replace it. The car was mint! Tough to find these cars not already run into the ground.

Shouldn't be hard to see that on the street. Most evo's stand out.

Sorry to hear

That's unfortunate. I buy and sell a lot of Evo parts so I'll keep my eyes open.

One thing: sites like EvoM require sellers to list the VIN of the vehicle the major parts (engine, transmission, etc.) are coming from, which can be good to check.

Great, thanks for the heads up on that. Another Evo was stolen last night less than 10 miles from where my friends car was stolen from. So glad my Evo sits in the garage every night.

It's shocking how many parts I sell are to middlemen for people in the Caribbean.
