Acura seems to be a big target up here in NY.

 

This is why I always remove my headlights when I park my car! Let's see my friends laugh at me now! I'll be the 911 with the headlights still!

very sad

 

This happened to me last winter! We have a place on Key Biscayne so I send my car down for the winter. Last year I had a new TT coupe. Thieves tried to steal the headlights, but a security guy scared them off. Unfortunately, they scratched the fender from trying to pry a screwdriver under the light. I had the fender repainted at Countach in Coral Gables too! In our building alone, there have been several incidents, but none this year.

 

LOL Kirby and there I was thinking you were doing one of those Supra-style DIY cold air intake systems...

 

Start checking your car for Kirby's finger prints if anything is missing.

 

Looks like Kirby only managed to get our stock headlights and not the Xenons

 

ARGHHH! I need some Xenons!

 

Yeah I just read that... great, just focking great!

 

Glad I don't have the Xenons.

 

Found out yesterday from a source/client, the ones that are doing the stealing are not your typical Miami homeboy, street thugs. To my dismay, I learned the thieves are no more than spoiled, bored rich kids with nothing better to do.

Putting the Litronic set ups on a variety of cars or selling them to body shops who don't want to pay top dollar from the dealer. The cops have to focus on the " fast and the furious " type gangs here. Apparently there has been some " communication " if you will with the car gangs and the rich brats.

Since our headlights are housed in Plastic, I would consider ingraving my name on the back of the unit. Maybe even spray paint it a bright color. Just another thing those punks would have to deal with when trying to sell stolen lights.

 

From the article:
even put a sticker on the lenses announcing that the lights were not high intensity. Thieves pried them off, anyway, then dumped them.

Seriously though, if I catch one of those SOBs near my headlights with a screwdriver, I'll shove it up his toolkit.

This clown should be reported to Miami/Dade police. Scratched Litronics/Xenons, couple of clips broken and notice his other items - nothing even closely related. Got to be some hot ones.
