Thieves Drive Off With Flashy 'Tuner' Car (vid included)
A one-of-a-kind 'tuner' car was stolen from Chula Vista this weekend. The car is worth tens of thousands of dollars. Its appearance is unique and unmistakable, and police are asking for the public's help to track this car down.
Chula Vista police say it must have been a fast and furious heist, committed by thieves who stole a 2006 Honda tuner car worth somewhere between $50,000 and $150,000. Experts familiar with the car say it is definitely a one-of-a-kind street machine.
"This took some planning, this took somebody with some knowledge of what they were going to find inside," said Bernard Gonzales of the Chula Vista Police Department. "It took some knowledge as to what you're going to do with the car once you get it� you obviously couldn't just drive it down the street, it would have been highly noticeable."
The tricked-out car, which was between shows, was kept inside a trailer parked at a business on Boswell Road. Authorities believe those responsible broke into the storage facility sometime between Saturday night and Sunday night.
"It's an interesting case," Gonzales said. "Unfortunately, somebody has to lose an expensive vehicle because somebody decides they're going to commit this crime, but for our part we just continue following the leads. Hopefully, those leads will take us to the vehicle."
The vehicle has all the bells and whistles you would expect for a tuner car, including a high performance engine, a custom exhaust unit, reinforced brakes and a killer sound system.
Its radical exterior has modified front bumpers, side skirts and a rear spoiler wing. Investigators are hoping tips from the public and good old-fashioned police work will solve this case.
"Even though this is a well planned situation apparently, they did leave some clues behind and our forensics people are taking those items and analyzing them," Gonzales said.
Investigators say it's possible the vehicle may have been taken across the border and perhaps being dismantled.
