you wouldn't know what to do if you couldn't spend all your money on wheels and body kits. Your exactly who I thought most of this forum was until I got to know them. This forum consists of people who know how to mod a car without thousand of aftermarket options available. You wouldn't fit in.
your exactly what this forum needs
your welcome. I would tear apart your mods list but I have exposed you and I am satisfied. BTW my good friend actually owns a BMW shop but he knows a thing or 2 and went for the e30 like everybody else who has taste and doesn't have to buy it by ripping off everybody else. lol god Im glad I came on now.

That wasn't obvious.
Not everyone can be hellaflush and get all the.....well....on second thought your just hellaflush. You owned a Nissan. Have some respect for yourself and quit while you are ahead. Ive lost interest now because your insults are terrible.
So my good friend is in quite a debacle right now. Last night at the local amusement park he went on the new roller coaster and him and the two people he was with put their phones in the bin you put your things on while you're on the ride. For whatever reason, this one is poorly and stupidly designed so that unlike all the other rides, your stuff is on the same side you get on at so it's pretty much fully accessible to anyone.
As you can expect, it got stolen. He's pretty sure it was done by three shady looking kids behind them in line (the other two phones were left there surprisingly, and they were all iPhones).
This is where it gets interesting. I went over to his house last night and he was extremely pissed as expected. However, because it's an iPhone 4S, it has the "find my iPhone" feature enabled. We got on that on his computer and tracked it to an exact address about 10 miles west of here in the city. I've been by there before and know exactly where it is. Not a good neighborhood.
Even with this information, the cops would not help. He filed a police report with the township where it was stolen and called the cops in the city as he was told to by the other police department. They wouldn't do anything about it and said they won't have anyone who can help him available until at least Tuesday.
This is obviously frustrating as the window to recover it closes by the minute. My friend is a 6'3 280 college defensive lineman. He has plenty of buddies around the same size who played with him in high school that are home for the summer. While grabbing six guys, heading to the address, and taking the law into your own hands obviously is not the best idea, it seems like the only way to have a shot at getting it back.
For now, he's sitting on his hands and waiting it out. This is where law enforcement fails in my opinion. You have the exact location of an item worth $750 that has been stolen, but you can't do anything for days? It disgusts me to think that my tax dollars pay for that nonsense.

yea from what i understand, rotor/calipers/pads and thats it... of coarse assuming the calipers came with the brackets
Thinking about it further, my Uncle had his phone stolen couple years back. He ended up getting it back by doing his own little "sting operation", he called up from a different phone that's NOT on his contact list, and played as if he wanted to buy some drugs.
Guy agreed to sell him some and told him where to be, and he called the cps with that info, who busted the dude.

Well in there eyes they probably see it as having to take your friends word and possibly wasting their time. Even if it was a $2k HDTV I dont think they would go over there. You best bet is to follow them leave a note on their car when they go into a store or whatever and say what you just said. Say a lawyer is invloved and have them overnight the phone or else a lawsuit will be pursued. They will flinch because likely the tracking technology is right even if it is just a friend of the actual thief. Worse come to worse revenge can be had if the phone is lost forever. Confronting them can turn out really bad.

The phone was remotely locked with a passcode so they have no access to it. However, there is an option to send the phone a message that the person who has it will be able to see even while it is locked, a feature I'm sure was intended for this kind of situation.
He sent a first message and basically tried to play it nice. He said he thinks the person accidentally grabbed the phone from the bin and wanted to try to contact them to avoid a misunderstanding before getting the cops involved. Included a number to call, have a great day, yada yada. After no response or phone call, he sent another short one just saying there will be a reward for the return of the phone and included the number again.
Last I talked to him earlier today, the tracking stopped and hasn't shown up since last night. It still shows that the address was the last place it was traced to. He's screenshotted this and is passing this along to the police.
The real problem here is the neighborhood. If it was some suburban softie town like where we live we wouldn't have a problem rolling up and taking charge. However, this is a bad, bad neighborhood in a dangerous city. Lots of drug activity and violence. It wouldn't exactly be surprising for pistols to be drawn in a confrontation trying to get it back.
On the flip side, the people who stole it are obviously VERY stupid. They stole it and just left it on. Oblivious to the fact that there's tracking technology that can put an exact location on it. That and it can be remotely locked and really is rendered almost worthless for selling it. It's disabled and can't be used. Since it's on Sprint, they have the ability to blacklist the ESN so it can never be activated again.
Had this happened to me 3 years ago I would have gone right over there with a carload of people. Bust 2 or 3 windows, throw in some black cats, kick in the door, tie everyone up and take them to the woods hpoefully out of the neighborhood in under 3min. Then find out who did it through the use of a butane torch on the loudest ones nut sack and then stick sharpened bamboo(best for this procedure) under his fingernails. But now I would advise against that and use the note process so they know you know where they live
