True, Accord and Camry parts are interchangable throughout so many years of cars that they are worth a lot. Whereas you steal another type of car and the parts might only work for that particular model for the years 95-97 or something like that.

I hope that you had comprehensive insurance on your car! If you did, the only loss that you'll get out of this is the comprehensive deductible, along with whatever items that you had in the car.

We had a car stolen and taken for a joyride once, just hope it does get stripped out and burnt or something. If you get it back you'll get a car that will never be the same again....

Sorry to hear it though man that really sucks.

See what happens when you read, do you feel smarter now that you have read for an hour. j/k

Seriously, that would just suck. Don't you wish you could ballbat them down mafia style.

if insurance covers it make sure you make note of the 2 pimped out laptops in your trunk. Why 2 you ask? I want one cause I thought of it!

good luck with all this. Don't let it get you down. Go out and party! U don't gotta be the DD!:beer:

If noone saw or heard anything it probably wasn't joyriders. I doubt a joyrider could steal a locked car without making a scene.
Expect by the end of next week for your car to be replacement parts of several other cars. :(

Thye are. There is abig markt for the older ones too (the 1988 to 1991 model). My friend (owner of 88 Camry) was approached by a mall security guard to make sure it was his car..since a few had been stolen from the lot earlier.

Was this at the borders at ucla? Their underground parking lot is the worse place any car can be... it's dark, noisy, and its got no security cameras.

what year is your camry? my neighbors leave their camry (1994?) running all the time when he parks it and I live in a pretty crappy neighborhood. Anyhow, hope they find your car..
