I parked my car in the street like regular people do except when i came out something was missing when i got into the car and put the keys in the ignition...
This is such BS. You walked out and didn't notice your hood was gone ? BS all the way. If you said the engine was in a garage and it was broken into it would be a bit more believable...

ya thats retarded, someone made alot of effort! wow i'm amazed. Sounds like u needed an alarm >>. i got an alarm as soon as some people got in my car and stole the stero, they tried to hotwire it from the steering wheel, but i guess they couldn't >>. ya anyway u need an alarm once u get a new engine. oh and parking in the street is a no no. thats the one night my shot got took was in the street.

Jezz, your saying that someone spent a night in pitch black conditions to jack a 5s. That is just a horrible thing, its kinda funny though.
I'm thinking BS on this. you have to be really out of it not to realize your motor and hood is gone. Plus the noise that taking an engine out would wake someone up.

its not like removing an engine is like popping out a battery out of a flashlight and replacing it
you mean to tell me....someone(s) cracked open your hood, unplugged every hose/wire/electronic component, removed all bolts and nuts, dropped the transmission out, and used an engine lift (without removing the hood no less) to wheel your engine out of the bay and down the street....all within a night without anyone hearing/seeing this??
and they call me a crackhead >

yeah you could do it in a shop. Getting one of our engines out especially in a GT is a hard thing to do. And like everyone was saying I think that this is BS. You can't just jack an engine in the middle of the night without someone seeing something. Unless you live near a bunch of people that don't give a crap about what goes on in there neighborhood, and you were stoned/drunk off your ass. How could you not notice something wrong there? Simply amazing if this is true but I call BS.
are your parents loaded?
what i get out of this is a good plan without complete logic.
Parents are loaded, you want 3S w/ top-mount of C-One hood
you get sum ppl to take engine and hood, show parents and want to claim it or w/e

damn ricers ran outta hondas i guess and are slowly migrating to toyotas noooooo.
don't you have to drop the engine craddle to get the engine out? unless you unbolt the tranny i guess. maybe they took the car somewhere stripped it and gave it back....

this is some funny stuff...that is like the biggest waste of time....how did they ever get that beast out....i would have love to seen your face tho....turning the key and no go hahhahahh best thing ever i bet....look out in your hood for a go cart with that engine cuz i hope its not going in a car hahaha
i mean i could see it happening to a 3sgte but a 5sfe come on get real.
The front end would be really high in the front too.

Oh and a Celica...nothin wrong with that!"
damn dude where in Torrance do you live??? And damn for all that trouble to jack an engine they might as well have just took the whole car. Either BS or some real stupid thieves.
I dont understand why somone would do it to a toyota. I know my Dad knew a few guys that would go into his restruant that would steal engines. It was in B-more. Mostly corvette engines though, or bmws/ benz's .. The would rip the hood off, one guy would un bolt everything or cut it.. then the three/four guys would rap chains around it and then pull it out and throw it into the van witch would be right next to the car. Dont know how long or what was involved, but they did it. The also offerd to give my dad a new vette engine for a tab at the bar.. lol
24 hour parts service, my stepdad use to drive around with a 10 foot flat bed trailer. Then in his truck he had air compressor and full line of tools, and would take orders durning the day and get parts at night with his buddies. Pretty F'd up if ya ask me, but he did it :/
BS Flag
Remanu'd 5S costs 400 bucks if that
And anyone would notice that the engine was out. Your a brand new member probably comming from another board to make a story and see if people believe. Even if you have pictures, chances are you are doing a swap. Story is BS. You drive a 3000 dollar car pal.
