Will find general location. What really sucks is the car was just redone by Elrich 2-3 days before it was stolen and was beautiful.

FYI to everyone, A garage does not guarantee it won't get stolen. Key is to make it way to much of a hassle to attempt. I had my garage broken into once and my motorcycle stolen right out. Cops gave me some good tips after the fact. Jam your garage doors shut from the inside so you are not just relying on the locks. String a bunch of cans together and place as a trip wire so that the loud noise will wake up neighborhood dogs or you. Lock everything up even inside the garage and of course have a home alarm and surveillance system. Oh and don't think that living in a nice area is always free of theft. As my insurance agent who was processing my claim put it .. "thieves don't go to bad areas to steal nice things"

Faaack that's 15 mins from my house!!!
Unfortunatley NJ has a very high car theft percentage and also auto insurance fraud so we pay for it but most stolen cars end up in Jersey city,newark,irvington,paterson,orange,etc and theyre all within a 30 min drive from Hackensack.
Alarms in NY and NJ aren't good enough with this car!! You have to have a garage over night. In reality you can't stop a great thief or a guy with a tow truck but all you can do is make their attempt miserable to the point that they might just give up if you use common sense and park your car in a manner that isn't easy to get out. I grew up with thieves in the hood and witnessed a lot of stuff while growing up and its given me a lot of knowledge on how to make a thieves life a living hell if he's going to take my shit. Park tight,crooked,park in well lit areas with pedestrian traffic,park at the first spot of the parking lot where everyone sees your car like youre showing it off but youre not.If you have a driveway park your other cars behind it like lineman protecting a quarter back lol turn your steering to full lock,bumper to bumper,not in the hood without visibility,next to a barrier or other nice cars etc just make it hard on the piece of shit attempting to take your car that's all.

Someone posted in FB CLASSIFIEDS a gray S2000 abandoned in Queens. Windows smashed. Car has ap2v1 rims. I always get confused on the different gray S's so I'm not exactly sure which gray it is. It's sitting under an overpass.
