Stolen T Type

TimType87 · 12-24-2007, 03:39 PM

Hey guys. I haven't posted anything in a real long time. But my turbo buick was stolen on Christmas Eve. It was outside a mechanics shop on 202. (Even though i asked him to put it inside every single day.) The shop is called C&S Auto and is right across from Golden Castle.. near Pep Boys. The damnest thing is that my car was running like ****! It would have taken hours to drive down the road! It had to be towed away! This plus a few other weird circumstances lead me to believe that this was an inside job. I'm not sure if i'll ever see my car again, but I want to spread the word and have anyone who hears anything to help me out! I've had this car for over 7 years now.. and now it's gone. No one is stupid enough to be driving this thing anywhere around here after it's been stolen. It's undoubtedly going to be stripped and sold for parts. Please keep your ears and eyes open for anything that looks suspicious.

Details:
1987 Buick Regal Type T
Rosewood exterior/interior
4 gauges in car (tach, boost, temp, knock)
tinted windows, "T Type" vanity tag on front, factory astroroof
license plate was "TURBO T"
stolen from C & S Auto on 202 in Wilmington, DE

PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY CAR!!

I saw this on DSR... That sucks dude, I'm really sorry to hear it...

84BuickGNYorkPA · 12-24-2007, 10:32 PM

Wow this just about ruins my Christmas Eve, I hope that you get it back

By the way my car was also stolen, turned out to be kids out for a joy ride, they drove it out of gas... but I did get it back.
I want to wish you luck, I hope that you had theft coverage on it.

Purple87SS · 12-24-2007, 10:48 PM

Post some pics if you have them. Also details about you specific car: parts, distinguishing marks, etc. Hope you get your baby back!!!

Sorry to hear that Tim, If I can help in any way let me know. I'll keep my eye's & ears open. -Ed

LBNJWE4 · 12-25-2007, 09:43 AM

That really sucks, I'd be devastated if that were mine. I hope you get it back man.

TimType87 · 12-26-2007, 08:04 AM

Thanks for all the support guys. My only hope is telling everyone I can about it and hope that something pops up somewhere. The car was Rosewood (as far as I know 1 of 3 in the tri-state area). Stock intercooler (half sanded down for future re-painting), TA-49 turbo, 009 injectors, K&N big mouth cold air system, stock rims, tinted windows, tach/boost/water temp/knock gauges, Kenwood headunit, factory astroroof (motor went bad a year ago)
I will get some pics up ASAP. It makes it a little easier knowing that other people out there know how it feels to own a turbo buick, let alone have one stolen from you. Thanks again guys!

BrightSilverT · 12-26-2007, 08:22 AM

Very sorry to hear that, and I certainly hope your Insurance makes you Whole Again......

lamdenali · 12-26-2007, 10:39 AM

Don't the shop that the car is being repair responsible for the car. Their insurance should cover that right ?

87granny · 12-26-2007, 10:48 AM
