Stolen 99 recovered thanks to you guys!

My stolen miata was recovered today around noon. The guy and his girlfriend had it since sept. of last year. The bad is that they had destroyed it and were using a pick axe to attempt to remove the engine. The front fenders were gone along with two wheels and a whole bunch of other stuff. I now get to fight my insurance for the $6000 in parts receipts that they refused to pay for (most of the stuff is still on the vehicle).

The low down: The car was borrowed by a friend of mine who ran it out of gas. He left it on the side of 121 in hurst in front of the Mazda dealership where he worked. (I have since kicked his ass for being so stupid ::Rant:: ) The car got a 48 hour tow notice on the window from Hurst police and was gone early that morning. After the arrest, Diana Teng or Diana Gomez admitted to calling a tow company to tow the car to her house. Her boyfriend and her have since been trying to sell the car off piece by piece. They were both involved in the theft so they are both on their way to tarrant county as we speak.

for anyone who may have bought anything from these people, you probably have stolen parts so be careful! I hope this will help inform everyone.

BIG MAJOR THANKS TO ALL ON DFW MIATA!!!!

Glad to hear that you arre getting it back, and good luck with the Insurance comp.

Glad to hear that they arrested the guilty parties. May they both rot in jail for a long, long time.

Sorry about the state of your car, but that's still great news! :clap:

Muaha, now find some way to sue the jerkoffs!

When you rebuild your car, this story will really have a happy ending!

Hey Boisking...you should sell him some of those parts you bought in Ft Worth from the back of that Uhaul. He might recognize them........

Congratulations!!!! I'm glad it worked out for you. ::Banana::

Glad to hear you got it back. If you need any help getting it back together be sure to let me know. I am not sure what I can do but I will help as much as I can.

So what happens now??

I have to imagine insurance already paid ya for some of the car. From the description I'm wondering if you want it back, sounds like it's been beat. :(

Glad to see the bad guys lose! ::Banana::

Congrats!! ::Banana::


Bad guys lose... always a good thing!

Congrats on the morons getting caught. Too bad they messed up your car before they got caught.

Hopefully you and the insurance company can reach an agreement and get it put back to gether.

My condolenses,

With the amount of damage it sound like it incurred, I don't think I would be trying to get it put back together. Hopefully, the insurance company will do you right.

Thanks Mr.BRG for leading the police to them.

Glad justice is served. Hope you get what you need to be even again.

Can't you just pull these off the wrecked car? (Assuming the parts are still usable.)

Pick axes are'nt very gentle.

Congrats!

Keep us updated on the rest of the story.

Sorry about your car, but I'm glad the parties responsible got caught.

I still want that damn rear end...lol.

Just and FYI...If you steal a car, don't give out the VIN. I'd like to think by doing this we stopped another car theft somewhere else. Hopefully these guy roll on someone else, or more evidence from theft shows up so they get some real time.

What are these guys charged with? If value can be calculated at $20k, we're looking at pretty solid felony with 6 years time.

nah man, its all evidence. This occurence is another good reason to get your car insured for what its actually worth. I recommend http://www.sneedinsurance.com/

Both losers got grand theft auto... They confessed to everything and then some. I'll keep you informed, and no, i do not want the car back. Though it hasnt been driven since sept. of last year, verified by the odometer. The suspension and drivetrain really hasnt been touched. I'll sell off what I can, then trash the rest.

Man, glad to hear the news of the retrieval but not so good news about the stupid f*$#@ who decided to take it upon themselves to destroy what someone has put some time and effort into for some extra dough. As the Hell Angels put it "Felonies aren't free". Everything those greedy people are gonna touch I hope turns to caca. I wouldn't want the car back either, it is tainted. It might end up costing more than its worth to get it back to what it was before the theft.
