Seat Stolen
Unfortunately in May I had my beautiful blue seats stolen right in front of my home. Stupid me, I didn't have a great alarm, nor did I have seat locks either. I had the car for 6 yrs and had no trouble of any kind. (It takes only once) Well I went out to the car at 2:30 am, since I work crazy hours and noticed the car was tampered with. I opened the door and the seats were gone. Yes gone. I was devastated. Well, I had to call the police which couldn't do nothing. I had the car towed. Was at the body shop for a month getting the car back together. Dont be a victim. Get a proximety alarm system, and some seat locks. On your seats engrave your vin number so if they do get them they can"t SELL THEM. There are seat locks available for these cars, if you know how to get them. I had to spend some time on the internet to figure it out. Its big business for these thieves to target these cars and one day it will be your turn. My insurance had to pay out $9.000 and I had to pay $500 for the deductible. However if the car gets too much older, they will just total the car for the cost of the seats and that would be shameful and sad to put a car like that down for the cost of seats and top.
