Phone number given, and name dropping..
Both established credibility. Both were found to be erroneous.
I say, post up the copy of the drivers license.
Granted perhaps the test driver is a freind of a friend that knows you, and perhaps he gave the wrong number just to keep the sales people from blowing up his phone, week after week...
Local law enforcement should be tracking him down.

Id blanket all the dsm/evo and 3S sites. Id be watching for part out threads, ebay ads and the like... Ill keep an eye on Autotrader as well.

 

where in brooklyn was this? i'm seeing this girl in brooklyn and i don't wanna park in a bad neighborhood. how's the area of coney island ave--avenue U?

 

hahaha i havent heard anything from bad from there about evos anyway... just make sure you have a good(loud) alarm... and try to park under light obviously.. but really if they want your car, theyre takin it.. i would rather not chance it... i think it was somewhere around eastern parkway..? not sure.. but basically... my friends evo got jacked.. found it like a month later... got insurance money... 19.5k into a sweet 240(s15 conversion/sr20, yadyyada) and sold it and now is going back to EVO... and still tryin to figure out exactly how they stole it.. it happened at nite... in front of his crib.... just be careful... have the chick come see you.. haha

 

well if the last person who test drove it left a bogus number, it makes him very shady. hope they find the bastard and sorry to hear you had to get involved in this. it's tough being a celebrity

 

if the last person who test drove it left a bogus number, he is very suspicious. I am sorry to hear you had to get involved in this! it is tough being the local celeb hope they find the bastard!!

 

That area sucks.....

pretty much most parts of brooklyn sucks

unless its dyker heights, bensonhust, Howward beach

 

The area around Eastern Parkway, pretty much the entire streatch of eastern parkway sucks as well.... I would not feel safe leaving my EVO there.... but my $800 beater, I'll park it anyway.

 

Sure does sound like an inside job that doesnt just happen with no camera footage or anything.

 

u can't just switch the ECU's the car will not start or recognize the ECU

 

It's a good thing I'm in Bensonhurst. Wait....I said too much. I mean Dyker Heights.

 

I believe this was indeed an inside job. Mainly you cant just steal this car. The ECU is dead without the key, and towing it would require a truck that can pull the whole car onto a flat bed truck, since the car is AWD you can't just hook it up to two wheels, it just wouldn't move! The ECU swap is possible, but someone would need to know the car, and have access to an EVO ECU with a matching key set. Well, hope you catch the guy or gal, but sure does seem suspicious.

 

im glad around here in south florida, its honda hunting only around here. the only cars getting stolen are K series hondas.

 

UPDATE:It appears the car is headed toward Chicago area. "X" employee lives that way, and there is a "spare key" missing from the back room. Looks like inside job, and the one who mentioned my name, wasn't said person.

 

any more 411?>?

 

Maybe elgin area. watch out for it. more info to follow. He only worked there a little bit, maybe on the whole premise to "hijack" the car. If you spot a blue evo9 with undercarrage and side skirt dammage, you are probably looking at the car.
