anyone whos smart enough to be able to steal an engine like that would know that that engine is worthless.
yea the story would be pretty hard to believe if i read it myself but its much easier to believe when i look at my car. i had a talk with my parents and they said it was my car and i could do what i wanted but it was a better idea to just junk the car. ill get pics as soon as i can
i can pull the motor in about 2-3 hrs w/ 1 or 2 people helping. but, everything else is kinda odd...they woulda needed a cherry picker and all that...

The front end would raised and when he sat down he would've noticed the big difference in the feeling. But I guess he's a knucklehead kid.

I honestly didnt notice anything when i got in my car, maybe i was sleepy or something but everything seemed fine when i got in.
as much as i dont belive the story, i can understand not realizing the motor was gone, I get up at 6am for school and i'm practicly dead (i stay up to late) but i would probibly not notice if my motor was gone till tryed starting it. if the hood was still on, and did not have any major damage. I doubt this story is real but if it is I would love to congragulate they guys that did that, for a great job of being fast, and quiet, but most of all for there down right stupidity, and worthless effort.
smells fishy >

my signature is the coolest.give me your celica.
sheesh, it sounds like they went thru alot to just take the engine and hood. why didnt they take a chainsaw and hack the front clip. or like someone said, jsut jack the whole car. maybe it was that honda car post in off topic that has the trd sticker. hes the foo that took ur engine.
honestly nobody is going to believe this story till you have some pics and even then your gonna get questioned
well i just got home and my car is gone. i asked my neighbors and she said my car was towed at around 11am while i was in school
And the plot thickens................

nah not really i didnt have it towed yet but maybe my parents did?
What color is it? and I might buy the shell off of you with whatever is still intact.
I've heard of things like this happening in fresno, CA (the worse car theft city in america). They usually have a truck and tow it to their garage, strip all the parts they can, then put it back where it was... but ive only heard of them taking things like exhaust, sunroofs, seats, hoods etc... never an actual ENGINE.
There's lots of people around Yakima that steal cars to take the engines(and other stuff) out of them, but those are typically Hondas with the sought-after B18C1/5s and B16As and stuff like that. But it happens a lot. >

A couple of my friends were tempted to buy dirt-cheap stolen motors for their Hondas(and one was gonna pay another guy $500 to steal a SRT-4 for the engine for his Neon), but I convinced them otherwise.
