i can only suggest that you post the VIN in case they try a re-paint in a new color and it's passed along.  i'm sorry for your loss.  is it time for the rest of us to put a transponder, ala, Lo-Jack, on our vintage cars?

It's 2762265. Being factory black (the rarest color) they'd be fools to repaint it, but I suppose they're already fools ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is a very sad news and sounds like they knew what they were looking for. I would let 2002AD know and all the other CA 2002 builders just to be on the look out.

Hadn't thought of that and emailed them. They were super nice. Thanks!

Notified my brother on the Long Beach Docks to watch out. They usually line up the cars in a row before they are shipped out.   

 

That is cool as fuck! (Can I say that? Are swear words ok? I can't think of anything equivalent)

Thanks so much!

That is terrible I'm so sorry!  I'm in LA and will of course keep my eyes out for it.   Do you have the NextDoor app?  Not sure about Weho, but my neighbors are pretty active in Echo Park on it.  Might help to post there.  I posted to my area for your car to keep eyes out, but might help if you do it your area as well.  Crossing all fingers and toes for you.  My 02 and I are upset for you.  

Thanks! I actually live in Venice so I can't post to WeHo but plan on knocking on neighbors doors tomorrow and seeing if they recall anything  or have cameras. Ya never know!

Very Sad

I'm sorry for your loss.  Seriously  hope you get it back

Dido on contacting 2002 AD   etc.

 

 The price of these cars  and the parts  just makes them targets

I will never park one of my 2002s on the street  or leave it unattended for any length of time

 They go in a locked garage

Despite all your defenses , there is always the tow truck 

 I don't want to be unsympathetic, but It's not 1974 anymore and the world has moved on from being respectful of a classic

I was at work, this was the middle of the day on a busy, nice residential street in a highly walkable shopping area. Otherwise it's garaged at night. 

Thanks everyone! The support has been fantastic. So many people have come out of the woodworks it's been awesome.

Thanks! Here's a link to my instagram post, if you wanna like or repost or reference.

Hey All! My car was stolen this evening. Last seen in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. Factory black, with blacked out front grill. Guessing it was cased by someone who had been eyeing it for a while and it (or hopefully not) parts of it will be popping up in our community. I've owned this car for 17 years and have all records. Already filed police report. Please call the cops and email me at laurelklynn@gmail.com if you see it or hear anything.

Any idea what shipping to Los Angeles might be on the wiper motor?
