a smart dealership would have had lock nuts on those rims and had it in the showroom the day it showed up.

That's horrible. Makes me wonder if the Fit will join the Civic and Accord as among the most vandalized/car jacked/stolen cars in the U.S. in a few years. I'm going to have to give an advantage for the new xB.....those things are pretty ugly that chances are nothing bad will happen.

wonder if that was planned out...leaving "by mistake" one of those civics out so by night the same workers come and strip down all of the better parts...

ha ha! they took the seats! idiots! they probably waited around for the mugen to come out just to get em...i'd love to break it to them that they could have jacked them from ANY OTHER SI, because only the exhaust, bodykit and shiftknob are really exclusive to the mugen.


on a more serious note, that does kinda stink. its a good looking car.

stupid F"N punks, this is why insurance is high for honda's becuse of this shit, when they catch them and yes they will catch them. the honda community should cut off there hands and feet.

This happened to an Evo at Carmax last year. My friends husband works there. One morning came back the red Evo was up on jacks...wheels and front brakes gone...seats...dash stripped. Bastage criminals...shoot them all I say :-P

I saw this a little while ago on OrlandoForums. People were talking about "Why didnt it have any alarm.... derka derka derka"

First off, its a factory alarm. They dont go off unless the doors, hood, trunk are open. And that car looked like a pre- PDI so the alarm probably didnt work.
And if it did, who the hell would hear it.....

Id like to know why it was left outside? It wasnt anyones car so Honda will put the stuff back in it and it will be sold. Ohh, and I dont think they have locks factory. From the rim pictures Ive seen the lugs all look the same.
