While this is not F-body specific, I imagine the people on this board will be sympathetic to the situation. My son's highly modified bright green 1989 Honda Civic Dx was stolen in Bear, Delaware sometime last night. The car is very special to him as he spent two years and most of his spare income modifying it. The car has the complete drivetrain, suspension, computer, and dashboard from a 1992 Acura Integra. The car also has Honda Del Sol seats, chrome wheels with black centers, and a Thule Kayak Rack on the roof. Obviously, the car is too old to be insured against theft. If anyone runs across anything on Craig's List or Ebay I'd appreciate any information. Aside from the financial and transportation loss, the real issue is the loss of something my son spent so much time and effort designing and building. Thanks for listening.

WOW... it must be mob connected with someone on the inside. Even at that I would still write the papers, mayor, chief of police, congress, and 7 on your side. Then comb the internet looking for the parts, become one with the local blackmarket, stake out the parking lot for as long as it takes, find some thugs of my own... your options are endless!

Do you know how to or someone who can lift fingerprints off the car?

At this point I'm not sure what I would do. I'm sure there are things that could have been done better, but you have to ask yourself if its worth it. I know you can insure older cars against theft but I don't know how they would treat all the aftermarket stuff. I'm sure they'll tell you you're out of luck (especially when you don't have a police report) and could even tell you the aftermarket stuff was a huge flag that screamed for attention.

When my Regal was stolen I didn't get anything for the rebuilt motor that was 6 months old!
