Thanks and I can't imagine what you went through. I've never had a car stolen much less one that was super special to you that you put love,blood,sweat and tears into .

They were targeting you for a while looking for the opportunity.

No Itag?

Damn man. Sorry.

@8:34 it looks like they’re doing something under the car behind the driver side front wheel, looks like an arm… maybe scanning for something.

Why did they dump the shell for you to find? Almost like trying to send a message to someone or brag.
I'd think an organized ring like that would be sending it to the crushers to destroy evidence, not flaunt it. Hopefully they left some nice fingerprints on it somewhere for the LEOs to nail the whole group with.

Maybe if they made car theft a capital crime like horse theft used to be back in the day that would reduce it.

My thought, if you find the car you stop looking for it

@Speedy! again sorry for what happened and it has made the rest of us think to not let it happen to us so something good could still come out of it

You lost your car and it was sad but maybe Mrs Speedy will get you a new jacket for Christmas:)

Just finished the video and very sorry to see the condition you found it in. My first and only thought really: how fucking brazen? Zero fear in whoever this group is that’s doing this in your area. Made me sick just watching the grace and ease with which they drove off with it and the total lack of awareness of those around the parking lot is also beyond frustrating.

Making me think about a system in my car now for sure….

So, I don't think it was "targeted" and I don't think they were following me. I had never driven the car to the gym, ever. I think someone at the gym made a call when they saw it in the parking lot and likely had no idea who I was. I got some weird FB messages that support this as well. One guy said he knew where it was and if I paid him he'd tell me. Others offered to help as well and sent me some info on a back channel chat app where it appeared the thieves were trying to figure out what to do with it. They figured out it was my car from the "Speedy's Garage" decal on the back window. I think that may be why it was dumped so quickly and publicly as Vorted said, so it'd be found and everyone wasn't looking for it. It was literally off a main road in a guy's side yard. 3 feet from the street. Shiny like new other than well....the obvious.

I definitely need a new jacket, this one has seen better days :ROFLMAO:

I’d take a good long look at the person who knew where it was and wanted money to give you the details. May be your key right there.

I'd bet that was just another ploy to distract and gain time. Clearly this was not some group of punks out to go hooning in a fast car or hold it 'hostage' for $$.
The way it was stripped and in such a short time takes skills & expensive tools + a network to move all the parts quickly.
This is organized crime with some serious $$ behind it + 'officials' getting their palms greased to look the other way !

So sorry Speedy. If nothing else, knowing about your loss prompted me to get off of my butt and now have several mods done to slow down, discourage or hopefully stop the rat basturds. (miss spelled intentionally)

I just finished watching the video. Very emotional for me. You get something, really love it and dirtballs take it away. 🤬🤬🤬

On a lighter note, Vortecd is right. You need a new jacket. Maybe take a little of the insurance money? Plus, if that's Mrs Speedy on the calendar, you married up. 😁😁

Enjoy your Christmas.

I wasnt even aware ur shit got stolen..... When did this occur? Was it towed? Nevermind just watched the video smfh.

Wow bro, your the POSTER child for KILL switches and multible ones wow so sorry to hear thats just awful. Im just SHOCKED u didnt have any anti-theft measures bro that just boggles my mind especially someone like urself who has the skills to put 10 kill switches in his own car.

Im just finding it hard to even watch that video. Bro, u made it WAY to easy for someone to steal ur shit cmon no offense but you should know better than to leave ur shit out there for these animals to just take smh. Seeing that shell should be a STAUNCH reminder to anyone here to get fukn KILL SWITCHES!!!!!!!!

It still boggles my mind that probably less than 5% of Hellcat owner on this forum have kill switches smh.

For christs sake at least get this thing.......
