sorry for hear this, S2000 without hardtop attract more thieves. Try to park in a garage or more secured location, otherwise you won't sleep well at night and this will happen again.

 

[QUOTE=hoof,Jan 12 2006, 03:06 PM] My rates shouldn't, in theory, go up (State Farm has been really good about that in the past, neither of my prior 2 claims increased my rates, including the $5500 repair on my 3-week old car back in '97).

 

Hoof,
This happened to me as well on the 10th. Same thing, my seats were stolen. I live in the Pflugerville area.

Amen, brother.

If they are stupid enough to stick around, maybe one of us will catch them and get some payback.

Sorry to hear about your S2000.

I got your PM and sent you a reply.

Let me know if you have any questions.

The info posted earlier about the Seat Locks is outdated.

In the past few group buys, the Seat Locks were $61 which included shipping.

Man this sucks! I live around Parmer Lane. Would never think Austin would be this bad.

I garage the car but it makes me think twice about where I park other than home. i.e. gf's house or work.

Good luck and everyone that lives in Austin,TX watch out for hot seats going around, I'm sure I will.

 

Sorry to hear about your loss, JohnnyRingo. A coworker said he knew someone in the area that lost their seats about two weeks ago. Either you're who he's talking about, or at least three cars have been hit in the last few weeks in the Austin/surroundings area.

I talked to the body shop, and they said State Farm is willing to pay for new top/seats (due to the difficulty of getting used parts). Right now the estimate is around $9700, which is getting uncomfortably close to the "totaled" limit.

Well you can save on the seat bolts for the front
.18 x 4 = $.72 saved

then add in the $61 for Kodians seat lock
