Carjacked

About 2 weeks ago, my brother's car (aka my old Prelude that I used to drive) was stolen while he was at school.  I guess he was running late and the main parking lot was full, so he ended up parking on sophomore hill.  Biiig mistake.  When he went to go home during his off-roll period, it was long gone.  I assumed it was already in pieces somewhere in TJ by the end of that night.

Then last Sunday, the police called my house after they had chased down this car that was speeding on the 15.  Speeding in a stolen car -> never overestimate the smarts of car thieves. Anyways, the car ended up hitting an electrical box in Mira Mesa, and the 2 people in the car started to run only to be caught by the police.  When my dad and Jay arrived after getting the call, they began cleaning out what was inside of the car:

Checkbooks.  Beamer keys. DVDs. Games. Sunglasses. Blankets. Tools. Wine glasses and china.  Important documents. Cell phones.  Tons of stuff that was stolen.  Also throw in a flamethrower and a tank of gas in there...

But although we got the car back, the thieves did a piss-poor job trying to disguise it.  The license plate was gone, the front bumper was painted over, parts of the trunk were missing, the radio was taken out, the filter in the engine was missing, and the tires and rims were changed. But worst of all, there were these 2 fugly black streaks on the hood.  A total Monet - from far away it looks aight, but up close...

Notice the color of the rims on both sides...

At least we got it back in one piece :/
