Minnesota Focus Owners Club

K I'm sure some of you have heard my Brown Kona was stolen last thursday and stripped of quite a bit of parts. Luckily the police officer that always pulls me over on Broadway noticed my car with 4 Asian kids in it and followed it. The 4 kids are in custody and awaiting charges but I thought I would let everyone know that they obviously follwed me home and planned it out because they got it the one night I didn't park my car in the garage and they even had a key for my locking lug nuts.

shit, how did they get by the PATS system?

damn!!!! a foci stolen....... 1st time i heard of this.... sorry to hear this happened to u man...

its quite easy to by-pass the system, im not gonna devulge as to i and yous do not want this out in the public. it is as simple as cutting four wires and crossing them. it comes in handy if you have to drive a towed car from the service lot to your stall. ill pm you with another trick. my guess is the punks did the key cyl swap, they have a igniton cyl and a key they pop yours out and pop theres in. best bet is a kill switch for the coil a manual one.

Damn! Thats ucked up... are you going to be able to get your car back? I'm glad they got caught.. those mofos

never heard foci being stolen bfore. sorry to hear that but at least they are caught. you should be able to bail your car out after they are convicted right?

Lesson: it pays to break the law on occasion.

Luckily I got my car back next day. I've been piecing everything back together slowly got the windshield replaced today. Working on some of the interior pieces but I'm going after them civily to the tune of about 6,995$ just under the amount I would need a lawyer for. Who knows how long it will take to get the money considering they could be in jail for quite a long time, but atleast the money's coming eventually. Anyone know anything about restitution?
