Default Re: (Another) NoVA Car Theft Alert! (W/ Pics)

Thieves suck....

Sooner or later God'll cut you down...
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light.
-- Johnny Cash




Go to Walgreens and get 50+ prints made up ($19c/each) of the "before" shots, then tape them to 8-1/2" x 11" flyers that read: "Stolen items, Reward. Call xxx-xxx-xxxx" then give them to AutoZone type places and anyone who paints wheels. To keep those wheels on the down low, they will be repainted by anyone not trying to get caught. The skirts and seats may need parts and the person may be dumb enough to go into an auto parts store and say "I'm trying to put Recaros into my Scion, what do I need?".

Contact HEAT, they will need all of the police report info, and the local police station may have some of the fancy brochures. Contact HEAT while you are sitting with the investigator at the police station, you will be taken much more seriously on the phone. Include the brochures with your flyers as the tipper may be eligible for an additional reward that way (even if your Scion buddies chip in for a $100 reward afterwards, say $5 for 20 people, it's at least something). Don't say how much the reward really might be, as that may detract stupid people and don't ask for donations until after the items have been retrieved.
