Evo IX SSL: $33,000.00 MSRP, $5,000.00 Thief-Paper Front Seats, NO ALARM!?
Search is not working, I don't know why, so... not knowing how common this knowlege is here... I post it my story.
This morning I woke up to find the small window in my right-rear door smashed and my All Black Leather Recaros missing (Pics to follow). In my driveway 40 feet off the road. Under the damn motion-sensing lights.
After the cops processed the scene (fingerprints and all that) I tried to figure out how they disabled my alarm (I assumed I had an alarm since the thing beeps at me whenever I lock the damn doors).
WHY THE HELL DON'T WE TELL PEOPLE THEIR FIRST MOD ON AN EVO IX SHOULD BE A DECENT ALARM SYSTEM!? Or do we?
WTF, OVER!?
This happened in the Douglas Park neighborhood of Arlington, VA (22204) near Shirlington two blocks from the intersection of Four Mile Run and South Walter Reed Dr in the neighborhood.
I will pay for information leading to arrest or recovery.
Please keep your eyes peeled for someone selling these seats in the Washington DC/Metro Area.
BTW does anyone know exactly what model of Recaros they are?
What I would give to have caught them in the act...

Thanks guys. I'll keep you posted up with pics later and any "developments". As if there'll be any. 
BTW, anyone have pics of these all black leather SSL seats? Know the part number? I don't know why search is not working for me.

Did they grab the front and rear recaros? That sucks hard man! You prolly wont want them back even if they do catch the scum using them now. What did your insurance say?

The Evo always attracts that kind of attention....And many times, many people become very jealous of our Evo's. It's a high-performance car that always catches attention.....Even though it's just a Mitsubishi, the look of the Evo just screams "performance"....And unfortunately vehicles, like the Evo, can't avoid that sort of negative attention. Me saying all this doesn't change what happened to your Evo.....But I still feel very bad for you, and I hope it doesn't ever happen to me.

You shouldn't have assumed anything. No, our cars don't have alarms from the factory. Plus, if your getting an alarm you want to get a good aftermarket one. Some people feel they don't need one for multiple different factors such as how much they drive their Evo, where they live, where they park, etc.

I have had close calls on all my cars But they have never succeeded but I am left with damage to fix .. But BMW Was the worst.. They ended up my braking my driver door handle and ruining the passenger door and Trunk Locks. Oh and Scratch the crap out of both my windows Ya for BMW's being hard to break into lol.. And Expensive to fix lol.. But ya Its a bummer to have something like that happen man... The best part about My BMW is It didn't have a battery or computer and the Stereo system was all taken out too 
So there wouldn't have been anything to steal or the car wouldn't run I think it was someone who saw the car driving a few days before and followed me home and it has Limo tinted windows too.. But as far as my Evos there have been a few close calls but My House is in a very well lit area with My Dad sleeps in the Front Bedroom window open and always with his Shotgun loaded and his .45 Hand gun under his pillow and he is a light sleeper 
He has Pulled it out on a few people trying to do something to one of are cars and dealing drugs in are back yard I'm thankful for him as Security and my German Shepherd 
But I plan to invest into a good security system soon.. Or when and if something happened I'm covered for everything I have into my car which is a + with my Insurance
