I know this might sound crazy but you may want to go to the body shop that painted your car recently and ask them if any suspicious characters were seen checking out your car or asking questions ? just a thought !!!!!

Tell police to alert all SoCal body shops to report any/all 500E paint-jobs, ASAP.

I have been doing business with the same body shop for over ten years, they only do wholesale so I dont think they allow people to just walk around the shop but thanks for the thought, I do appreciate it.

run..I think if I ask the police to alert all body shops in SoCal to report any/all 500E paint jobs they will laugh at me, these guys don't give two ****s about my car, but I wish it was possible.
thanks guys

I know Seattle area is a far stretch from where you are, but I'll keep an eye out for anything.

Good luck.

Also, keep an eye out on the forums and ebay. Your parts might end up on one of them (I hope not).

Sorry about your stolen 500E. I hope it pops up, but I recovered a car that was stolen from me and wished I hadn't. Anyhow, I just stumbled on this link doing a google search for info about my new car: a 1994 E500. run.exe's looks so trick. Are those monoblocks 18 or 19 and how do they impact ride quality? Where did you get that rear trunklid from? Any other sites of interest? Later and good luck finding your stole 500E.

VC Did You have a stolen recovery system installed. I URGE!!! all you guys,you who you are. Pls buy a lojack or something like it. even the @ hrs window of VC car being picked uped may have got it back. VC I'll keep an eye out. I'll talk to all my friends @ al the local dealers,make sure they know what to look for.

I hope I really hope they catch these F@#$@#$ ers. If you do get it back Pls buy the lo jack.



I can't state it enough Espcially our older cars easier to steal then the new Mb's with the EIS(electronic igntion system)pretty impossible to steal not unless @ gunpoint.



Everyone lets spread the word for VC cause if you we were in his shoes we would be pissing our pants

There is hope you'll find it.. have a look at this link:

From what I can work out, someone stole this guys MR2, and kitted it out with stereo, a load of mods (admittedly rather bad ones) and did 4000 miles in it, before he was spotted, and ran away, leaving 2 mobile phones inside.

I need to find some Euro lights front bumper and some wheels. Well just thought many of you would like to know that she has been recovered and I am back..lol..

Congrats, hopefully the car was not ragged on before they commenced their scavenging.

Excellent, that's good to hear. How did they drive it? Was a window broken, or the locks forced? Was it hot-wired, or the ignition lock turned with something big and metal? What about the steering lock, is it working?

Maybe they skipped all this and took the key, eh?

Good luck, btw can I recommend fitting, if you don't want/cant afford a top of the line alarm, a simple immobilizer. Usually done by connecting something important in series to, say, another heated rear window switch, installed in an empty switch bay. Say the fuel pump wire. With the dummy switch on, fuel works, with it off, it doesn't.

later!

Russ
