Ireland Engineering Motorsports was burglarized this morning at about 6:30 AM. Thief used a crowbar to pry the metal side door open. The alarm was supposedly set by an employee last night, but was not tripped this morning. Either malfunctioned or not set correctly the night before. Plenty of footage though.

If you see this man or this white Hyundai Sonata plate 8EIX220 please contact authorities. We have an open case with Irwindale PD.

We appreciate everyone's help thus far sharing the posts on IG. Time is of the essence!

He took plenty of parts and several of peoples packages/orders as well (some of them already addressed and labeled). We estimate he stole $20,000.00 in inventory. If you see any of these parts suspiciously pop up for sale in the socal or surrounding areas alert the authorities please. He stole:

Good security photos!

Should be easy to find this scoundrel and hopefully recover the stolen items.

Sorry to see this happen!

Lolz nice job *almost* wearing a mask and parking right in front of the security camera with your plate clearly visible.... thank god for stupidity.  This should be easy.

This is a small close knit community the parts will show up, and with the photos and plate someone will know the guy.

[Cabbage Fumes]

Why didn't he post about it on here? That's weird.

Let’s get a list of the items that were stolen…. Then we can all be on the lookout for them!

And this years Darwin Award goes to?? I hope they catch him soon.

I'm wondering if republishing this on Facebook 02 forums and the local area Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, etc. would be appropriate, cut off any other avenue for these dirtbags to unload this stuff.

Based on the thief's demonstrated IQ, I'm waiting for the parts to show up in the FAQ "parts for sale" section...

The alarm failed.

 

He knew it would only take a crowbar.

 

He knew there was valuable stuff inside.

 

Smells like it might be an inside job.

 

Brazen or stupid about security cameras. My money is on stupid.

He will get busted for sure.  Just a matter of time.  Stealing t-shirts is the dead giveaway that it was a smash and grab.  WTF was he thinking.... oh wait.. .he wasn't.   What an A-hole.
