Default Car Parts Stolen/Vandalized

Some of you who follow me on instagram already know, but so last Sunday-Monday (overnight) my car was vandalized and parts were stolen, ripped off and damaged from my car. I had the police come and they filled out a report and had an investigator come over and try to pull prints. We are still waiting for the results and I'm also waiting to hear the final say from the insurance company about what they will be doing. I hope that if any of you see my parts on another car, please contact me about it seeing as how my parts are very unique and one-off.

My contact is (949)422-7457

Now I for sure don't know what I'm going to do because I was thinking about parting it out/ selling it and now this happens. I want to make a comeback but at the same time maybe this is a sign telling me to move on I'm pissed off that people in this world are so disrespectful of other's property and can't be ethical. I'm so fed-up but at the same time it's still so unreal to me and some days I forget that it even happened.. here's some pictures

Dude I'm SO SO sorry to hear/see this. Yeah there are people in this world that take advantage and don't work hard for parts on their own. Was this a new parking location for you? What did they steal besides the flares?

Thanks man, it sucks so bad and it's mainly a huge hassle. And I just recently moved to the apartment complex maybe 3 months ago so not completely new but relatively yes.

Yeah this was in Irvine, SoCal.
The only parts stolen were all four fender flares, rear side splitters, and roof spoiler. They took a lot of other parts off but were left on the ground or underneath the car so we (police and I) suspected that they either got startled and took off on foot and/or were planning to come back for the rest..

Good thing the car is still intact. I remember when I was young, my integra was stolen in my driveway. 3 weeks later when the police recovered it, they stripped everything out, no rims, no suspensions, no head on the block....just about everything good on the car. I didn't had full coverage at the time and I was in extreme heat. Goodluck to you and hopefully they get caught.

Wow! I'd expect to see this on the Honda forums...but not Lexus! 2IS fender flares aren't exactly a large market; definitely keep your eyes peeled on Craigslist. Glad they weren't able to get that custom front splitter! That's my favorite part your entire car!
