Default Tein 06 SI stolen(56K = NO!!!)







A one-of-a-kind 'tuner' car was stolen from Chula Vista this weekend. The car is worth tens of thousands of dollars. Its appearance is unique and unmistakable, and police are asking for the public's help to track this car down.

Chula Vista police say it must have been a fast and furious heist, committed by thieves who stole a 2006 Honda tuner car worth somewhere between $50,000 and $150,000. Experts familiar with the car say it is definitely a one-of-a-kind street machine.

"This took some planning, this took somebody with some knowledge of what they were going to find inside," said Bernard Gonzales of the Chula Vista Police Department. "It took some knowledge as to what you're going to do with the car once you get it you obviously couldn't just drive it down the street, it would have been highly noticeable."

The tricked-out car, which was between shows, was kept inside a trailer parked at a business on Boswell Road. Authorities believe those responsible broke into the storage facility sometime between Saturday night and Sunday night.

"It's an interesting case," Gonzales said. "Unfortunately, somebody has to lose an expensive vehicle because somebody decides they're going to commit this crime, but for our part we just continue following the leads. Hopefully, those leads will take us to the vehicle."

The vehicle has all the bells and whistles you would expect for a tuner car, including a high performance engine, turbo, a custom exhaust unit, reinforced brakes and a killer sound system.

Its radical exterior has modified front bumpers, side skirts and a rear spoiler wing. Investigators are hoping tips from the public and good old-fashioned police work will solve this case.

"Even though this is a well planned situation apparently, they did leave some clues behind and our forensics people are taking those items and analyzing them," Gonzales said.

Investigators say it's possible the vehicle may have been taken across the border and perhaps being dismantled.

The people who stole it just got about $100,000 worth of parts and I'd about bet they are not as stupid as you may think as they made off with one of the most reconizable cars in the tuner world at this point totally undetected.

That car is in about a million peices by now.

this is an amazing thing to do, i know that it was wrong to do but to get away with getting a car out of the trailer and drive it down the road with anyone knowing is amazing. this is like the escape from alcatrez or the shawshank redemption of the tuning world right now. no one will know how it is done. but ya its in a million pieces by now, TEIN lost a great car
