[JSALES]

whaat, an IS-F stolen? that's fucked

[th4i]

[skyxx]

Ouch! That sucks. Would it be better if he told us a VIN? :/ Although, there aren't that many Black IS-Fs floating around town. Anyway, I will keep an eye out for it. :thumbsup:

[Nvasion]

hope they find it, its very beautiful and i am surprised it got stolen.

[Todd Martinez]

although they are hard to steal its not impossible someone could have got the software for it at working for lexus or something

[skyxx]

I thought IS-F has GPS tracking systems in them. :/

[rooster328]

meh i'll pray they don't find it, then he can pick up a C63 : P
i don't want a stolen car back anyways

So your the owner then?
You sound sooo concerned. Already have your eyes set on another car too.

Suspicions... maybe?! Likely... nah!

[tonyvu]

how does anyone steal a lexus anyways O_o

[jmanhas]

wow first time i've heard a newer gen car stolen..
this is fuckedd

[Anjew]

tow truck??

[Culture_Vulture]

I thought IS-F has GPS tracking systems in them. :/

It actually belongs to a close buddy of mine.
As far as my knowledge goes, he phoned into Regency Lexus and got no info on how to track down his car via GPS. Instead, they gave him a 1-800.
Then he phoned the po-po and got the same results.

[TOPEC]

wow thought it was my cousins.
but yea how the hell can a isf get stolen?!
must be tow truck.

[Harvey Specter]

Wow, it's going to be a major fight with ICBC to prove this wasn't an inside job if the car isn't found.

[jing]

kspec came back from Korea to steal it.

[!Tigger]

^lol

[cococly]

Tow Truck... Tow truck drivers need extra cash, sometimes :)

Where was it stolen?

I used to see a Black IS-F near 41Ave @ East BLVD, but I hadn't seen it for a week now?

[!SG]

now now, i dont agree with him and his past activities, but even he isnt that stupid.

kspec came back from Korea to steal it.

[!SG]

check with busters to see if is-f was illegally parked. usually takes a day or 2. thats what happened to my friend. her accord wasnt in the system until a few days later when they called her to tell her, her car was towed.

[alex.w *//]

fixed.

icbc insurance fraud?

[rooster328]

o it wasn't my car, i was just saying wut i'll do if i was him

[XxsoloxX]

Guys Thanks for all you guys to have a look out.
My friend don't really remember losing the key but looked like someone took the key and left with the car.
He didn't tell me exactly how he lost his car and didn't tell me where was it last parked...
he is just too busy riding around town to look for it in any park way LOL....
Anyways... He want's it back and doesn't want another car.
already reported to ICBC and Police and like how Physixx said, they don't give good advice as of how the gps tracking device can help him...

[cococly]

^ so your friend didn't know what happened at all??

[3seriesBeeM]

il keep an eye out for it. shouldnt be too hard to spot one of those beautys

[BlackZRoadster]

i always see that isf parked there when i used to live there

[TOPEC]

I used to see a Black IS-F near 41Ave @ East BLVD, but I hadn't seen it for a week now?

that IS-F is still there, i just talked to the owner.

[godwin]

You usually don't call the dealership, you deal with the call center.

Lexus outsources their system to OnStar. But it is called LexusLink. Works just like OnStar.

Of course, if the car is in a container etc or the main fuse (right at the battery post for airbag) jumped it won't work...

[BabyblooLexus]

[keifun]

[Zyzz]

[Kalize]

[DC5-S]

not hard.. flatbed

[Meowjin]

did your friend happen to lose his job?

[k20a]

Did your friend stand not too far from the car, and had the doors unlock so the theif can use the autostart? LOL (Too much top gear)

[TRDood]

what the hell? your friend lost his keys to the car and someone drove it away?

even if he finds it on the streets, how they hell is he going to take it back!?

[Harvey Specter]

I'm going to come out and say it.....this whole story about losing the keys and someone driving off with a $65,000+ car is starting to sound real shady.

[lilaznviper]

Did your friend stand not too far from the car, and had the doors unlock so the theif can use the autostart? LOL (Too much top gear)

even with the push start in the car, car wont start without a remote inside the vechicle

Tell your friend never to have kids in case he leaves it somewhere

[Mananetwork]

You don't get throw in jail here, only a slap on the wrist will do!

[Meowjin]

better to say it was stolen, sell the wheels, and store it in someones garage than to pay off a loan you could not afford and ruin 7 years of credit.

[Drift_Monkey]

he could've dropped the keys near the vehicle and the theif took the keys and drove off.

can be as easy as that.

[J____]

wow sketchyyyyyy

[A-Dev]

yeah this doesn't sound right.

I'm gunna agree with jah.

complete inside job, but... why would he post it on revscene if it was?

[SoulCrusher]

+1 for inside job.

[XxsoloxX]

sorry to say this but... he was drunk...
that's why the key is lost...
He was at a friends birthday party somewhere in Vancouver.

AND HE WAS DRIVING!! TISK TISK TISK
Your friend is digging himself a deeper whole

[XxsoloxX]

All in all, He is getting more help now from the police.

Congraz... and was it stolen b4 he left the party? or if he didn't bothered.?

When u found out that u lost ur car-key, the first thing to do was to contact the dealer and buy a new set of key-lock right away...

[¯uÁÖ§_]

Any cars can be stolen, only need a tow truck , EZ ! ALL cops in vancouver do not bother to care that the siren of a car is ON when the car is being towed on the road !

Before he left the party, the car was gone.

Bad economy = insurance fraud?

[Tim Budong]

hmm
i like to believe this
but then..i have two friends that drive lexus, and after teh topgear..we tried it..and well..u can stand near the car, start it, and drive off and it still be driving, you just couldnt turn it back on after u park it!

[Hondaracer]

wtf.. somone should send this to ICBC or somthing because if a car is stolen with the owners keys, or keys left in ignition, arent you not covered?

ie. leaving your car idling in your driveway to warm up and it's driven off?

:werd: they don't cover stupidity

[SoulCrusher]

I think we should help the OP come up with a creative story to tell ICBC. The current story, as it stands, is full of "wholes". If OP tells ICBC exactly what he's told us here, 2 things will come out of it. 1 - ICBC will tell him to fuck off because of all the bullshit and 2 - he'll leave the adjuster with a headache due to all the add-ons to his story. As a conclusion, OP will not be able to get the $$$ he's looking for from ICBC.

[cococly]

^^Gold... :)

[AsBannedAsItGets]

Even though it sounds like there could be some holes in OP's story, we should all give him the benefit of the doubt.

which top gear episode was it? anybody got video clips or something?

keyless works like its suppose to for my infiniti. Can't start the car without the key being the car. i let my frd try to drive it away once after i start the car and i got out with the keys, the engine shuts off itself before he could even make it out of the parking lot.

[Anjew]

oh god dont fucking tell ICBC you lost your keys............... or else yer fucked. how many hungry kids could you have fed with the IS-F. lol

[lilaznviper]

really i tried it on my car and it wont start without a key inside other than that i have to stand really really close to the car on the driver side door

[Original Fake]

With my experience with my Lexus IS, you can start the car and have the key away from the vehicle, and the engine will continue running. My dad drove the car away once, when I was the only one that had keys when he dropped me off. He had to let the car run while he went to find me to get the key. So if the owner was standing too close to the vehicle and the thief started it up, he/she could've drove away until he/she parked the car.

[J-Wangsta]

mang that suxors.. really sorry to hear that.. its a really nice car... keep an eye out for it...
best of luck =)

[Meowjin]

whats the fraud line number?

Getting your keys stolen is totally different from leaving your keys in the ignition...

The way you describe the keyless system on your Infiniti seems kinda scary. So, you can leave the keys in your pocket, start the car, get out with the
keys, and the vehicle will shut off?

The post below describes my familiarity with Toyota's keyless system:


With my experience with my Lexus IS, you can start the car and have the key away from the vehicle, and the engine will continue running. My dad drove the car away once, when I was the only one that had keys when he dropped me off. He had to let the car run while he went to find me to get the key. So if the owner was standing too close to the vehicle and the thief started it up, he/she could've drove away until he/she parked the car.

Once the car is started. The key doesn't need to be present for it to keep running. If my cellphone and fob are in the same pocket, they'll interfere with each other, and the system would lose communication with the key. Having the car shut off if it "loses sight" of the key would be very bad.

[Adsdeman]

Its easy to break into any car i have a kit for it at work, the thing that confuses me is how they start the thing, inside job perhaps some1 with a spare?

[racerman88]

repo?

[Philly74]

actually it's not hard to forget where you put your keys when you don't need to have the keys in the ignition. Maybe your friend left the keys in the car and forget about it. Someone walk by and saw the remote and break in and drive away. Tow truck is another thing.
