other Bilstein Shocks Swiped In Socal.

[kbmb02]

Last Friday (12/13/2013), our UPS driver was followed by a van who was stealing deliveries. Swiped from the front door patio was a package containing a set of Bilstein shocks which had been modified and custom-valved for a 2002 race car build. The rear shocks look like typical HD's, but shorter. The fronts also look like 2002 inserts, but also are shorter.

Obviously, this is not the type of item one could put under the tree and say, "Hey, look - I bought you some shocks for Christmas." Perhaps they went straight to the dumpster; or, just maybe, they'll try to sell them locally...

Should anyone in the area (LA/OC/LB) see or hear of an individual trying to sell off any new-looking Bilstein's, please make a note of it and get in touch. Reward provided for safe return of the set. Thanks. -KB

Sorry to hear. Must be the season.  One of my deliveries to the PNW was stolen out of a customers mailbox. Sheriff recovered a bunch of junk mail down the road but not the order. Its a shame people dont work as hard at an honest living as they do trying to screw everyone around them. Best of luck getting them back

Thanks Steve, Ray. In an otherwise smooth race car build project, it's the first hiccup. -KB

Hi Ken,

 

Presuming you have an ebay account, you might want to set up an alert on your account to auto alert you to Bilstein shocks.  Here's how:

 

Sign in to your Ebay account. 
Go to My Ebay. 
Click Favorite Searches (on the left side of screen). 
Click "Add New Search" (on right). 
Enter your search terms into the form. 

When the results show, you will get a pop-up window that says "Save as Favorite Search." There is an option in this window to have results emailed to you. You may choose how long this lasts, etc. 

 

This is a great tool when you're looking for something specific.

 

To set an alert for Craigslist posts, you can use Google to do troll and alert too:

Thanks, Bob and all. I have been checking Craigslist, ebay not-so-much.

 

If anyone has a pair of used-up VW Rabbit Bilsteins (P30-0032-M1 or P30-0025-H1 - as used on front for lowered cars), send me a note. -KB
