A new 2000 NSX-T was stolen from an admired fellow poster & the following info. should be broadcast to any NSX sites we are all active in to try to benefit from the solidarity we all share to help our fellow comrade---read OK Michael
Just returned from New England to night.
My 2000 NSX-T was stolen from my garage here in Burien Tuesday in the early morning October 2nd. It was Monaco Blue a new color for 2000. The VIN is JH4NA1269YT000016.
It had an alpine cd changer in the trunk I installed. It also had chrome wheels. The left side wheels had been lightly scraped on a low curb. I can't think of any thing else as the car was stock except for the wheels being chrome plated.
Thanks
Dean Allstrom)---Sincere Thanks to all who can help in any way-worldwide-towards info. regarding this majestic automobile.

with just a few paste & copies I've sent info to the majority of the world re: your loss-odds are a little better than what the police indicated as to the return--just hope you'd rather your car back instead of ins. check to cover loss-- stolen NSX's are often not treated with the reverence deserved! Sometimes it may almost be a crapshoot as to the ACV of either...If you feel strongly one way or another ---let me know now as there are another 100-250 world wide sites dedicated to NSX's- I can access all if you'd like-to be devils advocate-you may recover your new NSX with $55,000 ACV damage-then it's a negotion(sometimes-read:-FIGHT as to whether you want full ACV value check or 50 grand worth of repairs on YOUR NSX!?) mmoore518 Re: Hope you really want your Monaco Blue back-instead of ins.check!

Thank you for your help.
I am not sure I want the car back unless it was found locally with minimal damage. (yeah rite).
I don't think I want the car back if it has for example 50k damage or missing parts. I think I would try to reach a fair settlement with the Insurance co. if possible. I will fight for what I think is fair though. I may buy a used one instead of maybe another new one. I would still want an automatic for one thing.
I may even elect to purchase some other brand and or style. I am paranoid that if I were to buy another one or for example a Porche, Ferrari, or such I would be waiting for it to be stolen to. I keep thinking maybe I will buy a 76 four door Cadillac. But then it would probably be stolen and end up as low rider some where.
The one thing that really bothers me is how they got the car. Is it possible/likely that somebody at the Sacramento dealer where the car originated at or the Fife Washington dealer where I bought the car or the South Seattle dealer I have had service the car had a key and maybe an alarm remote made, kept track of the car with future plans. Maybe connections with the so called Russian Mafia? Of course someone could easily have spotted it as I drive it a lot around the area and could have just followed me home for location and targeted the theft at a later date. It also bothers me that the immobilize function is so easily by passed. I am told by the dealer the chip is under the passenger seat and the it can be replaced by a chip from a 1999 or older then can hot wire the car. Dealer says that would take them 2 hours. So not likely they would be in my garage that long. However the most likely scenario appears to be they forced the breakage of the steering column lock then on the console used a small screwdriver or key to depress the release mech. that frees the shifter to be taken out of park and into neutral then push out of the garage and on to a truck down the street.
All these things make it difficult to feel safe from theft of another one and Oh how I like this car.
Thanks again Dean
Any posters on the board have ideas? Looks as though we're talking an automatic--didn't know that! Should be much easier to pinpoint?>?!
