Wow thats odd to take hvac controls and to have the time to grab both or even know there would be a market for the control unit...I know that area well and am surprised but I guess with the economy where its at people will grab and sell anything for some coin. sad but good luck gettin it all back together though I am impressed you got the control unit included in the $400 total price.

There are a bunch of different designations that this car could have and depends on state; salvage, junk, automotive recycler,Rebuilt/Reconstructed, or TLV. But keep receipts and pics and police report/insurance claim and that will help if you ever decide to sell the car.

Sorry to hear that bro. BTW, I noticed you're in VA. Were you just visiting DC for the night? Where in DC did this happen. I'll make sure to be extra careful when I'm in the area.
Damn thiefs!

What a Tragedy, and what a delight, I'd definitly hook up my ride sexy status after that.

The only part that bugs me is that a SC owner may have done it.

I like to think us SC/Lexus guys are bigger then the normal Honda/Acura thiefs out there.

Everyone Steals a honda because everyone owns one.

Sc's are Rare, and even rarer when they are modded, that why no one generally messes with them.

I guess its all about keepin it classy, by the end of the day

Have you spoken with the insurance company and actually bought it back? If not then ask them how they plan to report it. I know you can "wash titles" all the time course thats somewhat illegal but I don't know if there is a legit way to change it or a manner to hold the title thats less detrimental than any of the ones I mentioned. I know a few people who have tried to make a buck buy salvage cars fix them and change the title at least in VA and failed miserably.
