you should go check it out, what if your mom exaggerated ?

I would guess the theives stripped what they could from the car and then pushed it into the Fraser river.

I remember watching the news where the police sent a diver team down into the water to recover some of the stolen cars that were submerged in the water. They showed a black CRX and a GMC pickup that was reported stolen back in the late 80's.

Yeah I remember that thread...

not sure if i should say lucky or unlucky you... my bike was stolen 6 years ago and it still hasn't been recovered. i don't expect to ever see it again, but i dread the day if and when i get the call :(

MAYBE TO YOU, :haha: LOL! I've been a subtle and fresh JDM honda guy since 02 as well as MANY others, so you are talking out of your ass.

As for OP, i feel for you dude, you had some sweet parts on there, as i recall quite well back then you said someone stole it right from the (then) ground level underground at Broadway and Oak poolhall, right? i also recall you sayinbg that you had everything like 2 way paging alarm and they still got it, jeez ..towtruck possibly right?

The ICBC file was closed but the police file was still open, probably collecting dust somewhere in some dark room.

I highly doubt it. I mean 5 years man, even if the thieves didn't strip & sell everything probably some random people picked up whatever spare parts were leftover to replace their own car (middle console, E-Brake, etc) .. none of that is worth a scrap to me anyway. Especially it's a Civic, dime a dozen. I'm sure every civic owner has picked the car clean.

Yeah my car was pretty rice back then, my uncle runs a bodyshop so I did a lot of "show" stuff but couldn't afford all the "go" stuff back in the day haha
Yeap it was in a remote gate locked lot with supposedly a security guard that patrols that area. Definitely pros that did it.

I have a clean ride now (all grown up!), just rims and system ;)

04 was when need for speed underground came out and also fast and furious you can't say you didnt like it!

Wow............who would've thought. So was it sitting on a driveway for 5 years then the cops finally found it?

lol

ya im interested in to where it could be sitting for 5 years before its finally found.

ide go check it out for sure.

bring scuba gear!

i always wondered if a car was stolen, and just garage kept (more or less out of public sight) while it was stripped to bits, if anyone would know.

I mean, no one gives a crap what people do in smaller neighbourhoods, they'll probably just think you're working on your own car.

ya its a lil scary to think how easy it is

maybe it's my vivid imagination, but i recall a story on RS here a long time ago that sounds similar to this scenario... can anyone remember? it involved an MR2 i think. someone reported suspicious activity around a garage in his back lane and the cops came and they found the car in the process of being stripped :o

Queensborogh is completely a residential area, I think if you parked the car in your garage and worked on it, no one would care.

haha.. wow.. i remember when it was black... and sat in the LA burning sun !!!! hahahahahah !! with black leather seats that burned !!!

shit.. we should so check it out sometime bro !

Haha if we're even "on the way" ... to Queensborough ... unlikely though.. anything interesting to do there while I visit my dearly departed SiR?

there's walmart.

queensborough landing has BP/wal-mart/bestbuy/DC shoes outlet/etc

pretty awesome place to chill as it has a nice small starbucks and some other stuff too :P

go west and there is the casino :thumbsup:

that looks like a si, i dont think they made sir's in 01-05

as on his sig, its a 2000 SiR.

Yeah it's a 2000, they only came in Black, Red and that "oh-so-popular" Electron Blue.
I had the car repainted to NSX White + a coat of blue pearl that reflected in the sun, oh I so miss the car :(
And yes they did also have 01 version, it started to come out in silver as well I believe.

never knew you repainted it white...

and oh the memories... Electron Blue SiRs were everywhere...

Hey Deon whats up man... It's Nikson! Sorry to hear the sad news, I always wondered what happened to your civic, Brian just told me you had one, but didnt tell me it got stolen.
