they tried to steal her but they failed..but damage is done..

PersianLegacy · 04-17-2014, 03:50 PM

Hey all,

I am posting in behalf of my boy, who is also an owner of a 2011 370Z.

They tried to steal his car at night right from in front of his apartment!!!! a report was filed and it seems there was 8 other incidents that same night in his neighborhood. this happened in Morris county in NJ.

They attempt to break into his car by completely destroying the drive side door handle. From what i saw it seemed they went at it with a screw driver and sharp objects. the door handle is really banged up and hanging from the door... but the amount of scratches and dents are just awful..
- drive side door, read panel, front fender, the corner cover between the windows, even the damn hood!! all scratched up and have paint chips.

when i saw it i was furious for him..

I just wanted to post this for information out there. fellow Z owners beware. and also to see how much folks on here would think it would cost to fix the door handle and have almost the entire driver side of the car to be repainted....

thanks for reading.
cheers.

i have no idea why the title reads what it does..i think i moved it by mistake..
it should read:

"they tried to steal her but failed...damage is done tho.."

Not sure if i can edit to fix, can someone help please..

Invest in a good after market alarm with a remote paging system.
This happens each and every day no matter what kind of car you
have.

My personal opinion is that an alarm with a pager is just a waste of money, and could get you shot over a Car. Most people hear car alarms nowadays, and don't even look, its so common to hear them honking nowadays.
If your car alarm has an ignition kill, it MAY be there when you return, your contents, however may not be. Serious crooks are quite savvy these days. If they want your car, it's theirs.

at least to me it sounds like they REALLY wanted his car, but the Z's built in anti theft devices made it damn near impossible for them with the amount of scratches and damage that it sounds like was done to his Z....just another reason to like the 370, makes it a pain for the thieves to steal in the first place with the way it's built lol

A spring loaded punch knocks out a window in .01 seconds. No need to pry off the door handle to gain access. These guys were nothing near professional car thiefs. Probably some dumb-*** kids looking to get interior contents, not car. Just a guess.

Love the thread title, you should just keep it like that. Sorry for the pain though, at least they didn't get away with it or steal any valuables.

After my wheels got stolen i park my car in a public garage, although some ahole still managed to f**k up my pass side door.

It never ends, so dont blow a valvular.

To the OP: that sux. I'm sorry for you and your son. Azzes.

My garage was soon after my Z came home. But we live in a very rural area. I think i would die if somebody screwed my Harry up.
