Friends car stolen..
 
My friends car was stolen.. it's a 2014 white Hyundai elantra sedan. Plate AA7 76K stolen in west Richmond between 1150am-315pm today

If anyone sees anything, please send me a PM! Thanks

sorry for your friends, will keep an eye in Richmond. But how did the newer vehicle got stolen nowadays?
Immobilizer doesn't work? vehicle got towed?

SpeedStars 01-25-2015 10:30 PM

I travel quite a bit in Richmond for work so I'll be keeping an eye out. Just curious. Do you know how the car was stolen considering its a 2014

320icar 01-25-2015 10:35 PM

a new car stolen? thats odd.

so, any mods or anything specific that we could see visibly? i work/live in richmond so that would help a lot

ts14 01-25-2015 10:38 PM

Could've left his keys in by accident.

Anyways I'll keep an eye out in Burnaby and rich

freakshow 01-25-2015 10:43 PM

I'm not sure about the details.. will try to find out from him. He just asked me to 'post on that car website you always go on'

dared3vil0 01-25-2015 10:43 PM

Seems odd they stole a brand new car... Could it of been towed?

fliptuner 01-25-2015 10:46 PM

What kind of dumbass thief goes through the trouble of stealing a 2014 Elantra?

My guess is it was towed or crime of opportunity (keys in ignition/found keys then found the car)

Good luck to your friend though.

I saw a post on reddit earlier today about this missing car. OP correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was something along the lines of the owner losing/dropping the keys outside somewhere near the car, someone found it, took the keys, and then came back for the car afterwards.

freakshow 01-25-2015 11:25 PM

Just confirmed with owner, said he must've dropped the keys and that's how they stole it..
He also didn't call the tow yards as he wasn't parked illegally, but I told him to call tomorrow anyways..

Spoon 01-25-2015 11:32 PM

Did he even file a police report? Or do people now go straight to the internet before exploring all the obvious options nowadays? :facepalm:

What's the point of stealing an Elantra? Not worth stripping for parts or shipping it overseas...doubt anyone is stupid enough to buy a stolen vehicle with zero paperwork. I can't think of a good reason unless it was purely for joy riding.

Zordon 01-25-2015 11:54 PM

Is he committing insurance fraud cause he hates the car that much? :suspicious:

Good luck to your friend.

I've dropped my keys before but luckily I wasn't driving my car at the time and whoever found it turned it in.

Probably some little shit taking it around for a joy ride.

If he ever gets it back, it'll be beat to shit... More likely they'll torch it in the woods or something probably.

Not sure what's the detail of this case, but stupid things happens.

back at UVic, I once saw a Mini parked next to me with its key on top of the car.

I grabbed it and handed it to campus security. (he actually took my number and other info).

The second day, a cute sounding chick called me to thank me and wanted to buy me a coffee.

I cannot... yes, up until today, figure why the fuck I said no even when she insisted and I was single and horny like a freaking rabbit... :alone::QQ:

Back to topic... good luck finding the car. I think it was an amateur job. The guy/chick who found the key most likely took it for a joy-ride.

This belongs in that cringe worthy stories thread...

FerrariEnzo 01-26-2015 07:55 AM

windows tinted? stock wheels?

pics of its current state before stolen would be great...

Looks like you and I are the only ones so far to see the key word: cute sounding chick...

fliptuner 01-26-2015 10:21 AM

Should've met up to be sure though. Even if she wasn't up to snuff, she still had uni aged friends and you'd be introduced as Good Guy Greg.

U dun goofed.

I'd rather torched than returned as theft recovery to be honest
