My IROC Z stolen in broad daylight!!

I woke to the sound of police knocking on my door this morning. When i looked out the door my baby was gone. Them lazy cops said it was taken about 15 mins ago. They acted like it was repo, or something but i explained it was paid off. they said a neighbor called it in. I talked to the neighbor(older lady) said 3 Black young men were in a white pickup scoped it out. then one was getting into it she called the cops at like 6:30am. Them stupid cops didnt get there to my house till 7:10am so the musta stoped for dounuts or something.
I had it locked no alarm (to lazy to install) and about 2,500 hundred worth of system.
Not onlt that ive had it maybe 4 months
Brand new BFG Traction T/As 2 weeks old
msd coil,8.5mm wires about 2 days old.
I am f@#$ing pist.

Sorry dude that blows. Did the neighbor get the plate of the truck? I hope you find out who took it and get the car back.

No she didn't and she didn't have my number to call me.
I think she was scared but she could have made noise to scare them into thinking someone was watching.
Anyway I thinking getting a 4th gen ls1 but dont know if its worth spending the next 4 years paying for it.

I've driven a ls1 ram air TA and I was extremely impressed. Tons of power, the thing accelerates like mad. If i had the cash I'd get one my self.

Sorry bout the car again. If you got the cash then I'd get the 4th gen, i dont think you'll be disappointed. Or go out and get another 3rd gen, there fun too.

you took the time to install $2500 worth of stereo equipment, but too lazy to install an alarm to protect it? i agree with the over bashing cops. yeah they can be asses, my brother will vouch for that when he got arrested for falling asleep at the wheel. but they are there to help you, if you do get your car back, it's because of them. just because it took them 40 minutes to get there, doesn't mean they just decided to waste time before getting there.

I've been fortunate to never have something like that happen to me...personally i'd watch your **** outside...theives especially the shiftless scumbags you described, usually return to the scene where they stole something cuase they view you as an easy target...let them think that, and hope they make the mistake of walking into your lead that will be flying through the air becuase of self defense...don't kill em' but make em' hurt...or better yet...hope they rip off some other pissed off person, and maybe that guy will take care of the problem...sorry i'm ranting...hope you get your car back in one piece but doubht it...

I don't think its the cops fault that you were too lazy to install your alarm after putting a $2500 system in it.
