My H2 Stolen

[corvo]

I just need to post this before I commute to L.A. for work. My Hummer was stolen on Video from the parking lot where I work. The lowlife scums that took it apparently had thier own Key. Police said where I had it serviced last is where the lowlife scumbag got my vin#, personal information, made a key and thus walked up to the hummer got in and drove away. I had it serviced at a wana be new and being built Hummer dealership in the Tustin Auto Center, Ca.
This is alot closer to me than Cerritos or my dealer on Ontario. Onstar was Useless in getting a location on it even though I called 15 minutes after the incident.Whittier Police Dept took an hour and thirty minutes to respond.I have to now get in my toyota celica that Farmers Insurance has put me in to get to work. I am pissed at everyone.

While I would sympathized victim of stolen vehicle, above story doesn't make any sense. If this lowlife works at tustin auto center, why can't he simply make a copy of the key? If you work in LA, what does whittier PD has to do with this? And farmers insurance is putting you in your own toyota celica? Or are you saying they put you in a rental celica? I don't know of any place that rents out celicas, not to mention they've stopped making celicas for sometime now:confused:

You are pissed at everyone? That I believe you:yawn:

The Celica thing doesn't surprise me. State Farm has provided me with Gremlins, Pintos, and Edsels as loaners during the countless recent thefts of my Hummer by dealer-insiders.

It's definitely a strange first post. Can't imagine owning an H2(?), not having any interest in posting, but suddenly feeling the urge after it was stolen. Further, it seems like almost all Hummer owners (as opposed to posers) would mention whether their vehicle was an H1, H2, or H3 at least once in such a post.

[working Hummer]

Hmmmmm, something fishy going on here. Maybe it's the guy who ownes "Hummbobs'" H2 on Ebay.:giggling:

[CO Hummer]

I'm not sure if it's only a coincidence......but I just saw Shaggy driving an H2 down I-70. :eek:

[corvo]

O.k. I'm home from work and as a long time reader of this forum I am sorry that I have never posted anything before, but have used this forum for valuable information. I only posted now that something as important as a service tech at a Dealership copying a vin# and getting personal information, then stealing my H2(2004) might be of some concern to everyone.Whittier Police services Sante FE Springs, CA.( L.A. county.) I am driving a Toyota Corrola provided by Farmers Insurance as a rental, my bad I thought it was a celica (all the same to me) I don't work at a dealership, the police said that is where the lowlife scumbag made a key and got my personal information (where I work) and stole my H2. 52 hours later I am now thinking i will never see my H2 agian. My Full coverage insurance will only pay Kelly Blue Book according to Farmers......my loss is about 25K. After all is said and done I will buy another H2 and put Lojack, the club, and a kill switch. whatever it takes. i can't let them win.

[corvo]

P.S. I hope when all of you wake up your Hummer is where you parked it. Sorry no one had any good advice for me.:violin: I am now in the process of getting through the 2-3 week waiting period, then buying another one.

[H2NY]

Sorry for the loss man. Get you another H2 and get state farm. Good luck and keep us informed.

[SnakeH2]

I don't think you are allowed to post here until you get your new rig. Sorry.

Make sure you get GAP insurance with your next purchase. Gap insurance covers the difference between what you owe, compared to what the vehicle is worth in case it is totaled for ANY reason (even theft)

Good luck

:lame:

I'd say gap insurance would have saved him $25K. Doesn't sound too STUPID to me.

I would definitely change to State Farm. When I totalled my 6 week old H3 the only thing I was out was the few bits of bling I had already added. I have been with State Farm for 18 years and am very happy with them.

Sorry to hear about the theft. That really sucks. If they catch the bastards who stole it, drop us a post. I'd be willing to hop a flight from Dallas to get in on the stump hanging.

(For those of you who aren't from the south, a stump hanging involves a stump, a nail, a hammer, a deserving SOB and his private parts, and a good shove...)

"insult a typo"????????????? Wake up grainbrain, I was insulting YOU.

If you have to be so upside down on a vehicle that you HAVE TO HAVE gap insurance, you are STOOPID for buying it in the first place. ALSO, gap insurance doesn't cover aftermarket accessories added to the vehicle after the purchase (which could increase the market value but not the Blue Book value).

Come back next week and we'll talk about shish-k-bobs

if you have to have GAP insurance, you're stoopid

I'm sure it would be better to just pay cash for all of your vehicles and not have to deal with any extra insurance requirements, however, if you do have a note on your vehicle, having GAP insurance, it is just the financially responsible thing to do

[ZigsRig]

while i agree with you 100%

SHHHHHHH... dont upset the almighty with your common sense. He might call you bad names :shhh:

[PARAGON]

I'm sure it would be better to just pay cash for all of your vehicles and not have to deal with any extra insurance requirements, however, if you do have a note on your vehicle, having GAP insurance, it is just the financially responsible thing to donope, tis stoopid, as I said.

I have "a note" on mine because it was dumb to pay all cash, considering how cheap the rates were. But I didn't finance the entire purchase price and had the ability to cover the "gap" should something occur, if there happened to be a gap.

It's stupid because you should not be putting yourself in the position of HAVING TO HAVE gap insurance to begin with. If you really think it's the smart thing to do, I have some Enron stock I would like to sell you....... cheap.



It's logic 101. If it doesn't make sense for someone who pays all cash for his vehicle, it wouldn't make sense for someone financing theirs. If you HAVE to finance the entire amount to make the deal work for you, then you are stretched too thin and don't need to be buying the stupid thing and certainly should keep away from the position that requires you to need gap insurance.

[PARAGON]

while i agree with you 100%

You are so dumb, your fingers and toes have to be numbered. Let me explain this in agonizing detail, so that you even you will grasp it. You stated "He might call you bad names", to which I stated "I have already called him bad names" of which I did way back before you introduced your ignorance into this thread.

[ZigsRig]

Were you the fat kid in school who everyone made fun of on the playground? cause the "Fat Aggression" you display is pathetic.

Perhaps your mother didn't breast feed you?

Maybe you need to get laid to vent a little of this pent-up hostility.

No, I was captain of the football team with a full ride to a NCAA team. I was breast fed by the USMC, don't really remember when I was 1 year old. Also, happily married with 2 children. Maybe you should stick to the bar room psych analysis because otherwise, you shouldn't quit your day job.

oh no, a collegate football player.... I bet you there is more than one member here who had a "full ride to a NCAA team" (BTW, what college isnt in the NCAA?)... And i bet there is even a member here who has a National Championship ring from one of these NCAA teams...

Does more than one synapse go off in your head at once or is it simply too much of a strain? Who cares if there are other members who had a full ride? Life was contradicting your ignorance...... AGAIN.

I'm really not that full of **** right now, just had a very good bowel movement that was extremely satisfying. In fact, the turds in the toilet sorta reminded me of you.

Thats funny, if you didn't get it... he was making fun of your need to ALWAYS correct people when they arn't doing it "Your" way.

BTW, you say you had a "Full Ride" to a NCAA team which I assume you turned down to go into the USMC (which is about your only redeemable attribute). Why else would you mention your football playing unless you were trying to intemadate me or show me how much better you are than the rest of us?

you made some suggestion of me in school, and something about breast feeding and something about me being "fat" in school whom everyone made fun of

I contradicted that with the facts of my actual life

If you are going to attempt to quote me, get it right and spell it correctly. m-K?

The playground was right next to the gym where I played basketball my junior and senior years when we were over state runnerups. At some point, your ass will have to tell your brain that you have been making a complete moronic fool of yourself here and you will quit while you are behind. The school I went to had K-12 at the same school.

Wow, what a complete waist of time this forum is. I posted something in hopes that it does not happen to you, and all I get is crap. Are you guys really this mis-informed on how Onstar works? On what Gap insurance covers? And that when you take your vehicle in for service that if you give them to much information that a lowlife scumbag can make a key and come to your place of business and drive away?REALLY.:lame: Did I have gap insurance, YES! it was provided by the dealer(for free) and only covers the gap between what you owe and what it is worth (kelly Blue Book), I owe less than what is owed so it doesn't apply. I put a large chunk of money as a down payment, and I purchased it in October of 2003. I lose $25k because its worth only so much now. I might walk with $10-12k. As far as Onstar goes I called them 15 minutes after the theft and they had no signal :lame: Why? I just recieved a call on day 3 from them and all they could say was sorry we have not recieved any signal, don't know where you Hummer is. Cops said all they have to do is rip the Antenna off, or disconnect it.:lame:What kind of Advice was I looking for? How about, install a tracking devise that is not so easily disconnected. :beerchug: Or how about, try this insurance company, they actually take care of you when you have a claim. Or, ? Anyway, Good Luck, when the Cops catch the guy, who's license plate is on film and who works at or knows a guy who works at Tustin GMC/Hummer, I'll let you know.

Then upload it to google videos

They pulled the same BS when I had my Tahoe stolen. I would get pictures of your vehicle and recipts of all acessories, etc. and give copies to insurance. They will try to low ball you, just prove that its worth more than what they say, meet in the middle, get your check, buy new hummer. I would get an aftermarket starter kill switch installed than notifies your key fob when the alarm is tripped. That way you can run out and beat the crap out of the assailant . The Tahoe was my third stolen vehilce, so I have become indifferent when it comes to vehicles. I realized they can easilty be replaced, and often I ended up with cooler vehicles afterwards.

Soory to hear the bad news.

i used to have a 240sx converted almost totally into a race car. The engine was so cammy it would lug under about 4000 rpm. It got creamed one day by a pickup and pieces of the thing were strewn up and down the street...

and they offered me something around $5000, which was Kbb at that time. That was completely horrid for me, as i'd spend $30k on the car (or more) in mods alone.

By freak coincidence, i found a 240 listed on ebay that had very close to exactly the same mods, and the ebay listing had 1/4 times and so forth. I showed it to the insurance people and they paid me exaclty waht the car sold for on ebay.

It may be helpful to try to track that kind of thing. What does a truck with whatever you had go for -vs- a stock truck.

[PARAGON]

Mike, the funny thing is how awesome everyone from the east coast thinks paragon is to go wheeling. Paragon is the size of a parking lot compared to what we got out here.

Thats why im here and not in NY.

Now that im totally off subject ill just be out~~~~~~~~~~~~lol/.

Where are the pics of YOUR tahoe or Johndumbassmixer's H2 doing anything more than a fire trail?

Stupid fck, both Ken and I have wheeled out West and we both have wheeled in the East. No one commented that there wasn't any good trails in the West.

You have just proved the theory that there is no limit to human stupidity. Maybe you wouldn't seem like such a pathetic loser if you weren't intellectually slower than a bale of turtles stampeding through a room of chunky peanut butter.

I have been to paragon over 20 times and tower city about 40 times. I can tell you right now, yea paragon has some serious stuff to climb and play on.....definatly some good stuff..... But, for people coming from Long Island, NY, etc.....thats about all you got...its so small.

Gets boring after a while. What i do miss from the east is the water....its dam dry out here usually. Nothing like some nice mud out east =)

Got that paragon. BTW, its smartass not dumbass. lol

LOL if you guys think it's just a bunch of fire roads here.

C'mon out and ride 21 road, Holy Cross, or Blanca sometime. Make sure you did fasten your seatbelts just in case that fire road gets a little "bumpy". ;)

This fire road just sucks! :OWNED: ;) :D

[KenP]

Can we have Elk next time we're in CO?

[CO Hummer]

After doing some analysis I've found that it's pretty much a draw between East coast vs. Colorado wheeling.

[CO Hummer]

Can we have Elk next time we're in CO?

No problem!

Wait a few months until the weather gets a little better. :D

Cops detail elaborate car thefts
September 18, 2006
BY MAUREEN O'DONNELL (modonnell@suntimes.com) Staff Reporter http://ad-images.suntimes.com/RealMedia/ads/Creatives/empty.gif/empty.gif (http://a3.suntimes.com/RealMedia/ads/click_lx.ads/www.suntimes.com/output/news/953216170/Middle/empty.gif/empty/30633032313630613435306561613830)
Call it the case of the car-cloning con artists.
Police say an audacious trio of scammers may have duped more than 50 people into buying stolen vehicles through a slick scheme that switched vehicle identification numbers.
"Now we have the unpleasant duty of knocking on their door to say: 'It's stolen. It's not yours. We gotta take it,'" said Grand Central Area Chicago Police Lt. Rick Batrich.
The theft ring, which focused mostly on high-end sport-utility vehicles such as Escalades and Tahoes, turned a "tremendous profit," said Cmdr. Dean Andrews.
In just one of the dozens of cases, the trio turned a $1,000 investment into a $20,000 profit. Here's how it worked, Andrews said Sunday:
?The suspects traveled to several states to buy salvage cars that had been in wrecks.
?Brought the vehicles to Illinois and retitled them.
?Scoured city neighborhoods for identical cars and obtained the VINs by scanning them through windshields or other spots.
?Obtained keys from locksmiths for the matching cars targeted to be stolen. (They used registration papers from the lookalike salvage cars and claimed to be owners who had been locked out.)
?Drove off in the stolen cars, removed their VINs and replaced them with VINs from the salvage cars.
?Placed ads in papers -- including the Chicago Sun-Times -- offering the re-tagged vehicles for sale.
Quick turnaround


Charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle were "ringleaders" Jacob Lunga, 30, of the 5300 block of South Massasoit, and his girlfriend Rene Covert, 22, as well as Silviu Angel, 20, of North Carolina. Lunga and Angel, who are from Romania, call each other "cousins" but are not related, police said. Lunga and Covert, who have a child, have previous burglary convictions.
The theft ring's headquarters? A one-car Chicago garage outfitted with an engine hoist, rivets, many VIN tags and a turnaround time that rivaled a NASCAR pit crew, detectives said.
After seeing a suspected stolen vehicle enter the garage, officers executed a search warrant and found that "within 10 minutes, they had over half of the VIN tags removed,'' Andrews said.
"This is not an amateur operation," he said. "They were very good at what they did."
The investigation took two months, and it is believed the plot continued for more than a year, according to police.
The ring stole cars from police districts including Albany Park, Grand Central, Jefferson Park, Rogers Park and Town Hall, and sold them to buyers in the city and suburbs, detectives said.
"We anticipate a lot more charges," Andrews said, adding that the scam was uncovered through the work of Batrich, Sgt. Philip Cappitelli and Detectives Stanley Colon, Steve Murrin and Sean Callaghan. Lunga, Covert and Angel are expected to make a Sept. 22 court appearance.

--Johnnow, see. be careful before you run around with a mouth full of foot.

There is much more than Paragon on the east coast and most none of it offers any views, but accomplishing obstacles can be done anywhere and doesn't require a view. Some people enjoy wheeling obstacle strewn places such as Paragon. If you pushed your truck, you could find all you ever wanted to do in those thousands of acres.

Some places have just a few trails on less than 1000 acres but the trails are technically difficult and take a day to traverse. They also change from visit to visit. They are pretty awesome. I could wheel K-rocks every weekend for years and be content and it's less than 1000 acres and certainly offers no views.

So, learn to squeeze when speak ass, head's busy.

[PARAGON]

Come wheel some real rocks..you wouldn't know a rock if it hit ya in the head:giggling:

Come to Sante Fe Springs, CA. A great place to have your car stolen. The gang members have a master key to your luxury car and the Police Dept. only has one detective. That is correct......report your car stolen and about one and a half hour later you'll get a response. Then about a week later (your car will be stripped or in Mexico by now) a detective will call to say they are interested in the case (if you do all the work). Hey don't bother, we will all just stick the insurance company with the bill and continue to fuel the low life scum bags with new cars.
