ATTN WA: Legacy thieves on the loose again!

My 91 SS was stolen this morning

and recovered this afternoon. Looked like they tried to tow it with too small a rope, which broke. The cops found her in a ditch a few blocks from my house.

It was high centered, the left wheels were barely touching the ground. I got it towed back and at least the body damage appears to be minor . Not sure about underneath yet.
This was in Bellingham. Maybe we should make a list of all the WA or NW thefts? Seems like there have been a lot lately.
So look out Legacy owners in Washington!

Fuckers. I knew WRXs and STis were getting up there for theft, but I'm extremely pissed to see that it's spreading to us too.

to part it out probaly, they must know that suby parts are interchangable, plus they might think older cars wont have as good security features like alarms/immobilizers

I figured they stole mine for the engine but that proved not to be the case, i guess they just wanted a ride to Everett. Glad you got your car back relatively as lucky as I did.

Maybe it was a WRX owner who wanted the motor!

Thanks guys. I am very glad to have it back un-totaled.
The theft is kind of strange. There are more valuable cars in my neighborhood to steal. Were they after the engine? Subaru parts in general?
Maybe the theft of Matt's car was by that notorious Subaru thief they caught a few months ago. The guy who just stole cars for fun, and to get around.
The assholes who took my car went about it differently. They towed it, which is scary because alarms/immobilizers wouldn't stop them.

Car thiefs ought to be pistol whipped and then shot in the right knee.
Glad you got her back relatively unscaffed. Did you have the ebrake on or in gear? Just wondering since they tried to tow it.

its probably meth addicts, steal what ever they get, it does look like a nice car though, allot of people that didn't know better probably wouldn't think it was that old
i heard that in Oregon that 75% of robbery and theft were done by meth addicts and dealers so they can resale it
if you didn't find it in a ditch, you might have seen it out front of a house with a for sale sign

The e-brake was on. I don't think they went inside it.
Since they weren't very successful, being out of their minds on something is likely.

Lame dude! Looks like you washed it since I sold it to you, that's the nicest looking parts car I've ever seen!
I just sold my white SS to a guy down near Bremerton, can't wait to hear a similar story from him.

Perhaps it is YOU who stole it. Just had to feel it again, didn't ya? You'll hear about the white one being stolen alright. You'll be the one in it!
Driving Subarus is an addiction. Check yourself into a clinic you reprobate!
Sorry your shit got gaffled, but yeah, good thing it's in one piece. Put a removable steering wheel in it. That will discourage them a little more. Dead hooker in the trunk works well too.

meth addiction

Pleasant Prairie, near the border. My FXT is the only vehicle I can bring, hence selling my joy.
Sorry we hijacked your thread Reed, we'll talk in PM from now on, Later Richard!

Shit, Bellingham is probably the Subie capital of the US, I seem to remember a few "enthusiasts" right in your neighborhood. Do you think it was one of them, or do you have nemesie(sp?)?
Before I move let's get some "enthusiasts" together and Roll a Bitch!
