Yeah that bites big time, invasion of privacy, the whole bit is a bad vibe. I'm thankful ive at least got a one car garage I can tuck her away in every night. My truck sits outside but i'm not quite as particular about it plus it has a good alarm system and the S doesn’t.

 

J/W...if & when someone does decides to take my seats without me catching them...let me rephrase that, without me chasing them down with a butcher knife.. Knowing that my car is now 10 yrs old (AP1, 75k), & could possibly be totaled by insurance. Do I have that option of it not being totaled? Or would I just have eat it up & not report it in order for my car to remain a clean title?.. I know these seats are ridiculously expensive & I'm guessing its gotta be around that halfway mark on my car's value now. It just came to thought since it's nevered happen to me before & damn! my car's 10 yrs old now.

 

Well hopefully you can find some other stolen S2000 seats on craigslist for a "steel" of a good price and get back on the road without insurance issues.

Jokes aside, sadly this might actually be the best option in some circumstances.

 

^ Actually S2k seats on CL are very affordable. ranging frm $400-$800. That's a steal! And I've been attempted at times to buy some to replace my 10 old seats. But just out of respect to other S2k owners & esp the ones that get theirs jacked, I don't. I'll mostly likely go after market anyways once the seats can give no more in the wear & tear department.

 

also, unfortunately, when they total out a car for this reason it leaves a clean car with an unnecessarily dirty title. that will get some people (me in particular) to walk away from a potential buy when it comes time to sell.

 

Only if it's followed by "can anyone front me some bail money?"

 

Be safe in jail.

 

Well looks like no total (no what I wanted anyway), and Geico is going to replace with some 24,000 mile seats (my 2002 S has about 27,000 miles) and get a used top. If leather and convertible top look old, they will be reupholstered or replaced....but Geico is also coming through by allowing me to have poor quality bodywork (from a previous seat theft 3 years ago, and fixed at one of their preferred shops) redone as well. So I feel ok...the first time it happened I felt like my car was raped though...

 

Damn....
