Default Stolen: Silver RX-7 (FD) LA/Orange County

Hey guys,

An RX-7 (FD3S, Silver) was stolen from Steve @ Mackin Industries. I will post some photos once they are available. Please PM me if you see it around.



CA Plate: 3GXL567
on Volk Racing CE28N

Full Story now on Import Tuner Blog:
http://blogs.importtuner.com/6656410...d3s/index.html

Here's the link to the original Craiglist post...keep an eye out for ANY and ALL of these parts...

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/1772240844.html

What happened:
if you can let everyone know what not to do also should be best ... like what just happened, so that they know what they need to prepare next time they sell car ": I wish many people can learn from me

Met the guy Saturday night - NO problem ..let me think about after test drive
text came in 3pm saying : can i see the car in day time so i can decide 100%
4pm sunday at target mall
many people around
w/ s.camera around
test drove - no problem
negotiation - no problem
4:20pm front of target (many people and S.camera)
in parking lot
he asked me "can i hear your engine one more time before i make my final decision)
steve standing next to him 24"
he starts up (24" front of me)
and took off from the parking lot
????
