The Vehicle was stolen while going on a show tour. It's unfortunate. It will really really make every company be on their toes. This is definately a inside job. Not some random joke walking down the street and seeing a HIN trailer truck.

And that article doesn't exactly give me a whole lot of confidence in the police department there. That thing is probably in a million parts somewhere near Tijuana by now...

That's a shame. It's really surprising that it happened from the HIN showfloor because security is typically very strict. I don't ever recall a car being stolen from inside the show (as in not in the parking lot).

At least it was insured.

I remember TEIN was trying to sell their demo xB and WRX recently. They probably would have sold the Si as well, but with the insurance, it looks like the thieves took care of that!

hey... wait a second?!

with a car worth all that much money and with all it's "bells and whistles", they never thought to put in a low jack system.

Normally these kinda of cars don't get stolen. Always secured and well kept. It is also never driven much at all. Demo cars....So..yeaah.....

The cars were stolen off of the touring rig down in San Diego. It was not stolen at a Hot Import Nights event. No I do not work for Tein. I came into work like ***** b/c the TEIN car is on tour w/ us. Whoever stole it must of taken the time to open the rig up, unhook the car, load her onto the lowering platform, and take it down to drive off. Then on top of that.... chances are they ddin't drive the car so they must of loaded it up on their own tow vehicle.

definitely some how an inside job. and definitely probably in pieces somewhere down in Ensenada.
