Default theft...

i wanted to wait a lil while to see if i saw the stuff pop up for sale but i havent seen it. last saturday, the 22nd, my prostars, ascd 2 3/4 cowl hood and a set of prc stage 2.5 5.3l heads were stolen off of my camaro in my driveway. if anyone knows anything please let me know. if not everyone please keep your stuff put away. i live in a very small neighborhood in the corner of bolingbrook and someone did this right in my driveway with the porch lights on non the less. its just sad that people have to stoop this low. i dont have a picture of the wheels but heres the hood





and how the car sits now

no, the heads were in the back of the car but without a heater core in it you can squeeze through if you're small. you cant tell its not there till the hood is off. car has been in the same spot for over a year and its never been messed with. i guess i got too casual thinking it would be fine. after i get wheels on it its going in storage, locked up for sure.

MAN thats some Bullshit! I'm sorry to hear that also. It's pretty bad when you can't have something nice without someone ripping you off. Hope you catch the little mother Fu*ker(s) who did this. When or IF you do, make sure you break your foot off in their *** SIDEWAYS!

James

Hope you get the stuff back or come accross an AWESOME deal to help with what you've already lost!
