Maybe you can let us know where in Richmond, and around what time? It would also benefit other people to be more aware in that area

[Manic!]

Maybe it was the Claw?

Will keep a lookout in Nanaimo.

[68style]

I saw some weird shit today, didn't note the plate, but by Queensborough Landing someone in the same colour GTR was inexplicably (ie: didn't know the size of their car) trying to squeeze by a camper van and crushed the passenger side turn signal and fender into the back bumper, backed up, then just ripped off without stopping... makes me wonder if it was this car.

Do you have a time?????

[68style]

About 2:30-3pm.

When I get home I'll check my dash cam it would have caught it.

[BIC_BAWS]

Be advised: Suspect is caucasian, was seen yelling at gas attendants and peeling out of the esso on garden city and westminster at 12am last night. (not that this matters since 68style saw it at QB Landing)

[BIC_BAWS]

. . . crushed the passenger side turn signal and fender into the back bumper, backed up, then just ripped off without stopping...

To clarify, passenger side turn signal is left side right? Clarification due to rhd car and when I update my posts, I want to be as accurate as possible.

[accl]

It was at the Goodyear on Bridgeport, stolen roughly 6pm yesterday from the premises

[68style]

Yah it would have been our driver side but it's passenger side for this car.

I have to verify the plate, I'm not at home until like midnight... could have been different car

[accl]

keep in mind too, high chance they swapped a different plate. any sane person wouldn't treat their car like that, let alone a gtr.

Update: a R32 was spotted in downtown VICTORIA on the corner of Fort st. and Blanshard WITH the same damages as described

Just out of curiosity, where do you get these updates from?

I hope the car is recovered soon. I wouldn't be surprised if the car was left at the shop unlocked. Has happened to me before, car left out and unlocked overnight.

[TouringTeg]

^ holy crap. Will keep an eye out in Victoria

BIC BAWS is getting updates from mine+friends posts. He is helping by sharing as I am getting swamped at the moment

[BIC_BAWS]

Just out of curiosity, where do you get these updates from?

I'm in a group chat with accl and other car friends. We mass-posted to various groups, and we're posting to our chat when we get updates. Then I post to everything I've posted on, including RS.

That being said, the validity of the updates are largely dependent on the community

[AstulzerRZD]

So to recap,

We think we know that..
- Suspect is caucasian
- Car was spotted at Esso Garden City x Westminister last night.
- Car may have been spotted at QB Landing today at 2:30-3
- Similar car might was spotted on the island - unclear if it was a BNR32 Nismo
- Driver's side (LHD)/Passenger's side (RHD) front end turn signal and fender damage.

[SpeedStars]

I've seen this car so many times for the past few years as I work right next door. That r32 has been there since forever and I truly hope they can get it back...Fucking thieves these days.

[68style]

So this is my dashcam video, sorry it wasn't right in front of me so kind of off to the side and can't make out the plate due to the rain... but it looks like the same car to me? Not sure what the idiot van was doing trying to go straight through from the right lane... but yah... hits it, shatters the corner lens and then drives off.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLmauTSvS7U&feature=youtu.be

[68style]

Of note, there's nothing back from where the car came from except residential... my suspicion would be that the thief lives there

Totally off topic, but you sir, are lucky to have a wife (?) who screams "no!" at a r32 gtr crashing

[accl]

any possibility your passenger can recall any part of that plate?

[accl]

Some earlier tips today of a car matching the description at the corner of BLANSHARD and FORT ST. VICTORIA TODAY @ 6ish pm. other tips say the car was there at 11am. as the video is up, doesnt seem to be the same car.

anyone on the island, keep an eye out if possible regardless

[InsanE]

TODAY = Saturday April 8th

[68style]

Sorry no, I just noted that it was a regular BC plate... not an Olympic one like the photos............. that said, it almost assuredly has stolen plates on it.

If you set up camp at that intersection there's a pretty good chance you will see it again? It's the only way in or out of that entire massive residential area.

[SpeedStars]

It is definitely the one in 68style's vid. Just some info for those to help tell the difference between this r32 and others.

This is the NISMO edition which as no rear wiper and has 2 spoilers. A high-rise spoiler and a lip spoiler. Also a small nismo sticker on the right side of the trunk.

[boostfever]

^All GTRs have the high-rise spoiler.
The NISSAN badge however is mostly deleted on the Skylines, the car pictured last page and one in the video still have it. They also have the same red side marker (which most of JDM owners remove after passing inspection), and the exhaust definitely look the same style.

[boibuddha]

I may have spotted it this morning, uploading it right now.

All the details are in the description.

The driver jumped out of the car to check something on the car after I had passed him. I doubled back but he was gone.

https://youtu.be/XyTGRuV_aa4

[swfk]

Pause at 0:16, left corner ambers (jdm car passenger side) are gone but Accord lights intact!

[BIC_BAWS]

Spotted damage? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170409/10dc43405269bbd8b9c11a890715121f.jpg

This pisses my off so much that some dick hole can casually drive around the city in a stolen car. Good luck, I have a feeling you will find this thing. Lucky it's a unique car.

I'm going to go install about 5 anti theft devices now in secret locations. God damnit.

[BIC_BAWS]

Pulled suspect desc from youtube description for recap:

Updated suspect/car description:

Caucasian male, late 20s to early 30s, medium to heavy build, short blonde buzz cut, wearing orange and reflective green construction vest with dark t-shirt and jeans.
Car has damage to the left quarter panel, left turn signal, and left front bumper

[68style]

That looks like New West 10th Ave area? Further reinforces the thief lives in Queensborough Landing residential area!

[accl]

Thanks for continuing to keep an eye out for this car.

Police have found the old Olympic plates on the side of the road so it is 1000% confirmed it is driving around on false plates. Possibly 541MKV is the plate on their now.

[accl]

Quite possible. It seems like new west might be the suspect's area. I was told by someone they might have seen it at a Chevron at Royal oak and rumble and the guy matched the description we have so far. However I was not able to get any more information to confirm this sighting. That chevron is in spitting distance of New west so it could be legit.

[BIC_BAWS]

Update: Someone called the cops on the car spotted on the island with the same damages (but has blue painted wheels). Cops confirmed that car is not the car we're looking for.

[threezero]

Wow. Can't believe this asshole can drive around with a stolen car and act like a general dick head..... and still havnt been caught =\

[- kT]

will keep an eye out, good luck to the owner. at the rate this is going though, it's only a matter of time before this dickhead is caught

[BIC_BAWS]

URGENT: IS ANYONE IN THE DUFFIN DONUTS AREA? Car spotted 15 minutes ago at 5578 Culloden St, Vancouver, BC V5W 3R8, Canada("near the weed shop, behind Duffie"), plates: 541 MXV. RS Beatdown crew where you at? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170411/5cbf4c4bf8db905ed11e40a99b12e421.jpg

Here's to hoping that said person stuck around for a bit...

[twitchyzero]

thief is not the sharpest tool for continually keeping a rare car now with identifiable damage in plain sight...
safe to assume he's ditched it? too much heat

also had no idea 5g Accord headlamps fits in the R32...thought the hood was just ajar :D

[BIC_BAWS]

ACCL is at the location, car is still there, cops have been called.

[BIC_BAWS]

Cops are on scene. DO NOT SHOW UP. Cops are pissed that ACCL went out to check it out himself.

[pastarocket]

This is so strange. Timpo has not put any posts on this thread yet???

Hey Timps, where's your love for the R32? :troll:

Another car thief gets caught thanks to RS! RS Thieve Catcher! :fuckyea:

[Cwift]

Thief wasn't caught. The car looked to be dumped with a wheel lock on it. Also the passenger side front tire was flat

Wait.. How many people from RS showed up?

wheel lock as in..steering wheel lock? the thief seriously put an anti theft device on after dumping a stolen car? oh the irony..

i don't know if people are aware of this (as it may seem cliche) but cops do spread fingerprint dust over stolen vehicles and lift prints. so if he's a complete idiot (which he is, as he managed to get sighted at least 10 times in 2 days) he'll be caught sooner or later

Since the car has been found I'll ask this. I've seen all of those things done to multiple R32s, is there a part of the VIN that ID's it as a Nismo or do you just check for the visuals and if the hood/fenders are aluminum and assume it is?

[BIC_BAWS]

So there are 5+ people on scene? No wonder cops are pissed. But go! RS go!

Yeah, a steering wheel lock. Pretty ironic lol, but yeah the cop told us that they're gonna check the fingerprints right away. Heard from someone that was on scene earlier that the guy might be living in around the neighbourhood cause he saw him around the car and walked into a house.

[accl]

Guys, Thank you to all that helped this weekend.

Wilson, Victor you guys are champs and BIC BAWS thank you for keeping this updated.

Yes, he had a lock on the steering wheel.
Yes, there is further damage.

The owner is so grateful for this response.

p.s. There were 2 guys in a matte black 4dr civic, possibly filipino (?). pm me if this is you.

Thank you again everyone

[BIC_BAWS]

So 13 people (excl owner and wife, and cops) showed up? This is some next level fast and furious stuff. No wonder cops are pissed. That being said, good to know RS crew isn't all talk. I'm happy with the way things turned out :)

There were about 500 nismos produced with 60 extra made by Nissan themselves to turn into race cars. So on the vin plate, the nismos should be "BNR32 100001-100560". In this case, it was nismo #357. The hood on nismos also had a small lip by the grille.

also had no idea 5g Accord headlamps fits in the R32...thought the hood was just ajar :D

i think it's the headlight of choice for inspection facilities that are stringent on the car having DOT lighting.

happy to see the car recovered, but was there any info on how it was stolen to begin with?

i remember awhile back someone's car was stolen from a mechanic shop by person who walked in the front door and picked a set of keys off the front counter which was left unattended and the thief simply drove off with a customer's car :(

[twitchyzero]

yeah I i assumed people would switch it back after OoP, there may be a icbc liability issue but doesn't seem right to get a rare car and throw on ill-fitting lamps showing massive panel gaps.

anyways, glad for OP's friend for the recovery.

A thank you letter from my friend's son who want to thank the RS community and those who shared the post on Facebook

"A big thanks to everyone for spreading the word about my dad's stolen vehicle and especially to those who helped in tracking it down. The car was found in a residential area in near 41st and Knight last night. The police were called but the there was no sign of the suspect upon arriving at the scene.

For anyone who is a fan of cars, they would know how special this R32 is. It means a great deal to me to see it returned to my dad. Things would not have turned out like this without the help of the community. I really appreciate what people have done for us over the last couple of days."

There will be a follow up to this so stay tuned.

[swfk]

I once found a stolen vehicle which happened to belong to a friend's friend.

The police advised the following:
- Watch at a distance in case they come back, avoid altercations
- Do not touch the car because they need to get prints
