glad to hear it's back in one peice.

I did read that other "stolen nsx" thread which turned out to be a repo... made me wonder if his "stolen MB" from 3 weeks before that was also a repo.. I can't beleive some people are so stupid that they think "gee i've stopped payments.. now it's gone.. hey!! someone stole MY car!!!"

That's a great resolution to this thread. I hope the things you lost can be replaced.

Make sure you post a list of what is missing so we can keep an eye out for you..

Have you thought about parking it in the living room? After all, it is an NSX.:tongue:

 

[ANYTIME]

I am sooooo happy for you!!! Now put the top back on and it will be whole once again :wink:

 

[Frank Spano]

Anyone know how much lowjack cost? Thanks, Frank

 

[Big_D]

Glad to hear you got it back!!!

Frank, Basic LoJack was $599 last time I had it installed (two years ago...).

+1, but I would rather go with Works Bell then NRG.

Glad to hear you got it back!!!

Now get one of these...

 

[evof575gtc]

work's bell - same factory, same parts,
just different name label with a 2-3x price tag.

nrg lock saved my integra from getting stolen just a few weeks ago.

and shifty bob's nsx the first attempt.
unfortunately second time they were more persistent and followed him and just towed it when he least expected it.

 

[synth19]

I'm going to respectively disagree. The manufacturing process of works bell is far superior then other imitations I have seen. Granted, I have not seen NRG document their manufacturing process as thoroughly as Works Bell. When safety is concerned, I'm going to recommend Works Bell who put some serious R & D into their products. Their safety standards exceed even the ones set forth by ASEA. This is not just some antif-theft product. Works Bell completes the following testing:

* Material Hardness Test
* Material Tensile Test
* JASO C713 Static load bending test on steering wheel
* JASO C713 Static load torsion test on steering wheel
* JASO C713 Static load fatigue bending test on steering wheel
* JASO C713 Static load fatigue torsion test on steering wheel

With this piece of mind, I will gladly pay more for a genuine product. I have no idea what the replica companies are doing. Sorry to go off topic.

I thought everyone parked their NSX in the living room. I guess I'm the only one other than Fonzie ....lol :tongue:



Glad to see the car is back....AND in one piece. :biggrin:

The car is getting new locks all around and Lojack with the feature that calls me immediately if it is moved without the presence of a Lojack fob.

The garage got all new remotes and new remote codes and new locks on the house. A video surveillance system goes in this week.

I'm embarrassed to say, but its the standard "lock up the barn now that the cows have escaped." But I just want to reduce the risk of anything like this happening again.

IIRC, all NSXs 95 and newer has factory LOJACK. My 96 got stolen and the police recovered in 2 hours (I gave them VIN # and they found that my car has LOJACK)
So yours is 2002 I would assume it has LOJACK. I think you should check with an Acura dealer to find out.

I don't care who you are, that's funny :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

[heySkippy]

My 95 had LoJack papers in the packet with the owner's manual when I bought it, but I never followed up to see if it's really there.

The NSX doesn't come with LoJack, stealerships install LoJack in cars and then added a significant markup on it. Once it is installed in a car it can't be used in another vehicle so the potential buyer was stuck paying for it. When I bought a brand new 300ZX in 1990 the Nissan dealer tried to pull the same thing. I told them that it wasn't OEM and that I didn't want it. They gave it to me for free. One day when I decided to pull out some interior panels I found the Lojack unit and when it came time for me to sell the car I pulled it out thinking I could use it in my next car. When I called LoJack to try and register it they said it could only be used the car it was initially installed in so in the trash it went.

I just love happy endings!

I found my Lojack box installed next to the antena motor location. So if you want to find out if your car has LoJack just look in there I assumed. I bought the car that way and the installation was very OEM like.

Now that you've announced to the world where your LoJack is located it's pretty much useless. I'd find a new location to hide it and not tell anyone where it is.

That was on my previous NSX, I have since sold it and don't know where it ends up at now. No harm there.:biggrin:
