 BGN8711's '86 Chestnut T-Type stolen 9/10 from Brea Mall in Orange County, CA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HELP A FELLOW BOARD MEMBER OUT:

Board member BGN8711's '86 Chestnut T-Type with W02 blackout trim was stolen late this afternoon from the Brea Mall in Orange County, CA. I will post CA plate info as I get it. Witnesses decribe the thief as a large bald African-American male and he was seen driving out of the parking lot. The police were altered very soon after the theft but their surveillance of the 57 Freeway (which runs right by the mall) has turned up nothing.

Plate number 5NZF404 or very close to that.

The vehicle has a gold interior which is in good shape. The car is also distinctive as it is lowered 1" and has non-OEM 16" billet wheels with 50 series tires. The killer is that Brian has owned this vehicle less than 4 months and we both have spent quite a bit of time working on it.

More info posted as I get it; will also post this in the Stolen Vehicle forum.

If you have any info please contact Brian Plunkett at (714) 993-2130 or the Brea Police Department.

Damn, another one!?!  It's getting so that even non-GN TRs can be used as a daily driver.

That's close to where I was staying! I went to the ASouth Coast mall - but the lady I visited goes to Brea all the time.  :bigeyes;

Hope he finds it.. in one piece.

This problem is only gonna get worse, guys. As much as I hate to say it, G-Bodies are VERY popular with the car thief types.

All you have to do is punch the damn column and push the ignition rod down. Too easy. Tilt cars are even easier.

What we all need is an external igintion switch, so if someone pops your column, they still won't get shit. Hide it in the glovebox or something. I used to install push button starters in all sorts of race cars/trucks, works fairly well.

yeha I really need a kill switch or something in my car.

Brea is the next city over and I live in a VERY VERY nice town

I have a fuel pump cutoff switch hidden, and actually use it religiously. If I'm going to be out of town - I use the Club too. I know, they aren't foolproof - but it will stop/slow down the casual thief..

Some prick DID try to jimmy my trunk last week..  Fucker.
