I havnt even had the car for two months.... I went out yesterday, came home around 6:00PM stayed home the rest of the night, this morning i wake up walk outside and its GONE.... i called the police filed a report and called the insurence company already.

I dunno if i even want another s2000, i absolutley LOVE the car but dont know if its worth gettin it if its going to get stolen again or get the top ripped out for the seats etc...

This was my s2k...

Quit crying first.

About the only thing you can do is sit back and wait. You'll have to wait on the police and then you'll have to wait on your insurance company.

They should give you a rent car to get around in.

Keep your eyes open and maybe you'll see it on the streets, but it's probably chopped up because it's worth more that way.

Once your claim is settled then get another and this time park more carefully.

I'm going to bet you live in an apartment, if so that was your first misteak. Too easy to just hook up and tow it off. You might be able to find a location that makes towing difficult. Our immobilizer system, while not perfect, makes it harder than it's worth to steal most of the time unless they can just tow the sucker off.

I had my rims stolen and found out from the thieves afterward that they'd wanted them before, but I had parked on the dirt and they couldn't steal them there, their jacks would dig in. So they waited until I parked on the driveway. (yes, you are not even safe in a house, just safER)

Whatever car you had, it might have been stolen. The most stolen cars aren't the hottest, they are the easiest to steal.

I hate to say this but the chances of you getting your car back are slim to none. Collect the insurance money, move, get a garage and a 9mm.
I wish you luck.

That being said, get another S and I wish you better luck with it.

At least your insurance premiums are working for you.

Collect your insurance money and buy another one. Civics/Accords/Camrys/etc. are stolen much more frequently than S2k's are.
