Farwell to my car...
God I feel like crying....yes crying. I came home late last night, a little after twelve and turned in for the night. I woke up this morning and my car was gone. I paniked. I called the police immediately. They told me to call this tow lot and see if it had been towed...no luck. I called back and they asked me to come in ASAP. I come into the station at 11:20 and made the report. I come back home at around 12 and the phone rings, its the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. My car had been found and before I got a word in he said bad news my friend...it had been completely stripped. The engine and everything under the hood, GONE. The entire interior GONE (Seats, Dash, steering wheel, everything). My bodykit, rims and tires, Shocks, etc GONE. My Alpine amplifier, Alpine Type R speakers, and the radio head (minus the faceplate because I took that off and took it in with me), GONE. He said my car was a shell as if it was the first piece on an assembly line waiting to be put together. He proceeded to tell me where to get my car and before he could finish I interupted him and said I dont want it nor do I want to see it. He ask why and I told him...My car was uninsured. I wasnt driving it. It had been parked in a driveway not more than 10 feet from my house. I wasnt planning on insuring it until I moved to South Carolina and it was set to be picked up by a car shipping company in 4 days. I feel horrible, all that time and effort and MONEY putting into that car and it was all taken away from me in one night. I have learned my lesson, I will never fix up, mod or do anything to my next car again (rest assured it will be a Honda). Its kind of a shame though, one cant personalize his/her own car and make it stand out above the rest on the road without fear of it being ripped off.
