Vibe stolen and wrecked... (Pics Inside)

[dtana117]

Here ya go. Taken from my mother in laws drive way while we were loading it up. Drove it for three days until they crashed it. Nobody was caught. Craziest part of the story is that I found them on the second day driving around in my car. Needless to say seems like 16yr old kids are packing around here because they took a few pops at me. Where it launched...Where it landed...The damage...The bullet meant for me...Insurance already totalled it. I will be posting a classified for some wave blue handles if anyone wants them. I was gunna slowly make my car a monotone. Best offer takes them. They are brand spanking new.

That sux, Dan It's bad enough that it was stolen and wrecked - no need to be shooting at you…

[ajflan]

That really sucks!

[VforVIBE]

So sorry to hear about your Vibe, glad you're ok though.dang, did the cops do anything (look for prints)?

[ajflan]

Prints are so much harder to find than they appear in TV. You have to have nearly perfect conditions to get a print, and if the person who left the print has never been arrested, it does no good.

[Mavrik]

Holy crap. if my car gets stolen, I'm packing when I go look for it.

[futureviber]

wow! that looks bad. How did they drive it around for three days and never get caught?

[coldmm803]

thats horrible, stealing your vibe and thinking its a sports car to jump over the tracks??? they need to be the ones gettin shot at and save the rest of the world from their stupidity.whats the brownish stuff?

[zionzr2]

How terrible!!Glad Your OK though!!

[hskater26]

id be pissed.......good thing your ok though

[WaveAction]

sorry to hear, i'd be absolutly pissed if that happened to my waveblue...but glad you're ok and no one got hurt(unless the theifs got hurt then i wouldnt worry about them)

[BlueCrush]

Sorry to hear! Glad to hear you are ok, though. Did they shoot at you while you were in the Vibe(ie: car jacking)? Or did they shoot at you after they stole it? More details if you can...

Are you selling parts? I could use a Front Left Door hidge & the Radio bezel Cover. Also everyone loves fog lights.

I am not parting and don't want anything to do with that car after what we have been through.Quote, originally posted by coldmm803 »whats the brownish stuff?Being a Toyota cousin has its downside. All the paint flaked off the fender from the impact and it rusted over in three days of exposure.Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush »Sorry to hear! Glad to hear you are ok, though.

More details if you can...I was behind them in my Torrent and they were driving my Vibe. He stuck his torso out the rear passenger side window and popped a shot at me. I cut hard left in the Torrent when I saw him getting ready and he over compensated and hit the Vibe's rear quarter.

Trust me, if my girlfriend was not in the car, those guys would be in mjor pain/DOA and my Torrent would have some love taps on it....as far as police go. The Chicago PD probably has worse things to deal with than my little bit of drama.

I'm so sorry to hear that and glad your family is OK. I hope the punks get caught.

[MRCN RCE]

damn, sorry about your loss. my s-10 was stolen a few years back, so i know where you're coming from. i've also had bullets fly by that were intended for me, so i unfortunately know where you're coming from on that one too. i was gonna ask if that spot on the rear quarter was from one of the bullets. it almost looks like it "kissed" the vibe. too bad the lil twerps didn't get it stuck on the tracks as a train was approaching since you work at a dealership, will they give you a really good discount on an 09??

[ToolGuy]

Holy cow! They jumped the thing! Actually from the pics, the car does not look too bad for getting some air! Unless the drivers side has more damage. If someone takes my Vibe, they can have it, there is no way I want it back. Same for my Corvette, why would I want my Vette back if someone beat the clutch, tires and could have blown the engine... How did they take it, pop the ignition then? I did not think Vibes were easy to steal?My wife worked in Detroit for two years and I thought about an alarm but then it hit me, if it is gone, they can keep it! It was four years old at the time and again, why get it back if stolen.

I am glad they trashed the thing.They stole it while we were putting stuff in the car. We had it running and were loading bags into it. My daughter was the next thing to be loaded. I am glad she didn't make it into the car.

[millster]

That's incredible! I'm definitely glad you're still around to tell the story, just sad the story has to be told! DEFINITELY glad you hadn't gotten your daughter into the car yet!!!And Waveresponder, a concealed carry permit is not a license to be an aggressor with it. It's perfectly legal to have a weapon in your vehicle just as long as it's visible. Even with a concealed carry, if you're discharging the thing in public you're going to have problems. I have a permit, myself because a former line of work required it but I don't feel the need to use it anymore.

What these punks do to cars after wards and then insurance comps depending on the age of the car, put used but original parts back on the car. You can end up with a bunch of headaches after wards.And yeah glad your little girl cargo was not in the car too!

[NibCrom]

Holy crap! Glad you're okay!

[lovemyraffe]

Wow, really glad your daughter was not in the car.

Millster..i know..im just saying that if was shot at already im not going to just watch if have a gun on me and wait for the bullets to start hitting....id be damn sure to start shooting back if not first....the only problems will be paperwork as long as you use it carefully and properly.....obviously if theres innocent bystanders i wouldnt be discharging...unless that is of course my life was in immediate danger....if my memory serves me correcty this is how everyone is taught...safety of yourself first , safety of friend(s)/partner(s), then bystanders, last priority are the victim(s)/patient(s)

[jwalcik]

That's insane. I'm glad you weren't hurt (or shot!). Best of luck in your search for some replacement wheels!
