Silver! Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Bit of a longshot I know, but I have just recieved an e-mail from my pal who has had his Honda CRX stolen: Lovely car and a great guy, so any help appreciated.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Unfortunately my car was stolen some time between 6pm yesterday and 8:30am this morning (Tues 16th Nov) from outside my house at John Street, Blairgowrie. I suspect it was taken in the early hours of this morning because there was still evidence of a dry patch on the ground.If anyone sees it around, please let me know (or feel free to give chase!). It’s a 1991 Honda CRX VTEC, Registration BNZ 2048 and is a Japanese import - an extremely distinctive car in its own right, let alone the bespoke parts that have been fitted.There are only a handful of Honda CRX’s in the Perthshire area, and an even smaller number in black as it was only sold in black in Japan. I suspect the theft was pre-planned as the car had an immobiliser, and stolen with a view to break it for parts.There is a reward for any information leading to its return. In the grand scheme of things it is not worth a huge amount of money (worth a lot more in parts) but it does have a lot of sentimental value.Many thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyA Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Truth is its probably already been broke, and sold for next to nothing.Brutally honest, yet so true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Yes, I think Mark realises that.He imported the car himself and put a lot of work into it including custom coded ECU and a removable chip which limited the car for service and MOT procedures both of which were coded by himself.Damn shame.

Defcon5 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 How was it taken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 He doesn't know, but he lives just off a main road with quick access to numerous very quiet rural roads. So a quick tow to a quiet location where it could be made more secure\put on a trailer would have been simple.As I said, I think he's resigned to the fact that it's most likely in bits by now.

Defcon5 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Sure it hasnt just been hotwired and nicked for a thrash? It would need someone with a lot of knowledge of JDM-Yo to know that it would be worth a fair bit in parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Marks a pretty well known enthusiast attending quite a few JDM tuning sessions and events, so it wouldn't be hard to know and track the car.Thing is he's a really nice guy and would do anything to help someone out. He was interested in doing a GTI conv. in my Arosa, just for the fun of it. Just before he left working with me he re-built an engine test rig which was imported by a friend in bits from Scandinavia. He done all the cabling and computer side himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
