Someone Tried to steal my ****ing car

I'll post pics of it later.. but I need to know where I can find a new column and new glass. It's a 92 RS. I'd write more, but I JUST got off a great spring break, and some low-life sonuvabitch tried to steal my car.. PUSHED the thing over 300 yds in the parking lot of my dorm.. my ears will be peeled, I so much as hear the words Camaro and steal in the same paragraph, and heads will roll. I'm gonna go to sleep before I have a breakdown.

Anthony

I feel your pain man. My car has been the target of theft and vandelism. But you should try a junk yard if you dont want to spend alot of money.

That sucks, that's why it's good that sometimes I leave my car at home when I go to college.

amatuers.. i'd almost rather have my car stolen by a professional... at least that way they wont make a huge mess of my car.

on the other hand, i'd much much rather not have my car stolen at all but there will always be jealous and lazy people who wont get off their *** to make money. they just want to go about it the easy way... its our job to crack down on them and eliminate them from society...

I had mine broke into when I lived in an apartment. The sob's tore the outside lip off the T-top. Now it leaks and I cant get it to go back in. They chiped a piece of glass out of the drivers side door glass. and stole some speakers and cassettes. The sob's had stole out of other cars at the apartments a few weeks earlier.

they had the ***** to come back a total of 3 times. even after the cops had been there two times.

i barely managed to sleep for about an hour last night. I have class today.. now I have to walk to work to pick up my check. walk back to the college to meet with the insurance adjuster, who will die as well if he tries to tell me the damage is minimal and they can't help me.

Guitarist first, it's what has kept me from killing, unfortunately for the bastards that did this, I'm all out of strings now, I played till my fingers bled last night, and broke 3 SETS of strings..

Mechanic and Parts Specialist.. I KNOW how much the **** costs.. and I'm 300 miles away from anyone I trust to do it right..

lowlife scum.. My revenge.. picture Rambo, Commando, Leathal Weapon(1,2,&3 4 was trash), Die Hard, Shaft(original), Truck Turner.. the whole nine. I hope the cops find him first. I'll prosecute to the fullest. but if they don't.. eye for an eye. tooth for a tooth.. what I'll do will hurt more than a boof..

Hey, that really sucks. I know how you feel though. Someone tried to steal my 89 iroc 2 weeks ago. Luckily they slim jimmed their way in. The column is broken badly though. I cant get the key to turn in the lock cylinder. I was so mad I couldnt even go to work that day. Now every time someone walks by my car im ready to attack them.
You can try junkyards for the new column, but I havnt had much luck finding one. You may be able to get one from thirdgenparts or thirdgen resource. I hope you get everything back together and working again. I hope they catch whoever did it too.

That sucks man! Someone started messing with my side view mirror once, and i caught him in the act. He was damn close to being hauled away in an ambulance, the dumb @$$.

What do you mean they Pushed it? Did you have that boot on when they did it??

I hate those kind of people.
Somebody tried to bash or dig out my driver's side door lock last summer. They didn't get into my car but they left me with a mess. I need a garage......

they couldn't start it so they actually PUSHED my 4000 pound car damn near 300 yards... I had the police put the boot on it. I gutted the bitch last night, I figure if they want to come **** it up more, FINE, but they're not takin ****.

Anthony, I feel your pain, my GTA got broken into a couple months ago, stole the radio and the radar dectector, luckly VATS stopped them from stealing it, even though they did one heck of a job on the steering column, cost insurence over $800 to fix it, plus the $200 stereo... And like you I didn't trust anyone to work on my car, and of course when I got the car back from the two shops that did the work, it was pretty much in worse shape then before they got it, i doubt since u live in arlington that your insurence would bring your car to Protech in hurst. but for if some crazey reason they do (since not many shops know how to work on 3rd gens) DO NOT LET THEM TAKE YOUR CAR TO PROTECH!!!! that is the worst shop in the world, i hate them and hope they will burn down................

Again it sucks to be in ur place, i hope the company that does your work does a better job then protech did mine.

Oh ya, why haven't we seen you at any of the NTTGA meets? the last two up at hooters in grapevine have been awsome
