I've been meaning to register here for years. Long, long time reader. Sad circumstances bring me here today. My C3 was stolen last night in Houston (didn't realize people even wanted classics).

Any tips on what I should do and expect? Police know, Hargerty knows.

What next?

Rotonda

If you have any pics, I would post them. Someone might notice the car.

The Punisher

Well that just sucks

Best image on my phone right now. Nothing that really sets it apart from any other Crossfire in a big way. Red interior, very subtle red line accents on the exterior (visible in the pic on the far right/back), maroon Texas A&M front plate, mirrored tops. Ran strong :-(

I think I might be inquiring the underworld of chop shops in the area.

Was it parked outside with easy access? Sorry to hear it was lost and I hope you find it.

Covered parking in a gated condo. You cant even really see the car from the street. Whoever took it broke the remote operated gate to get in - it doesn't open automatically.

Sorry to hear about your car....I hope they find it in good condition so you can keep enjoying it!

Judging from the types of people that pay my car the most attention, be on the lookout for a upper middle age retired man. Or maybe a drunk dude buying beer that thinks he is a car expert.

All jokes aside I hope you get her back quick

I live in the Clear Lake area and will keep an eye out also....That sucks....

cash your stated value check from Hagerty and go car shopping

once the thief find out it's a crossfire he'll probably bring it back..

Sorry, I just had to

LOL! I've actually had a lot of luck with the car. It has always run strong. Random electrical quirks are another story...

It was stolen in the area between River Oaks & The Galleria. Including the VIN in case someone searches the net for it someday - 1G1AY8784C5121475

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
If it was taken from an enclosed condo lot, someone knew it was there.
If they broke the community lot gate they came prepared.
It may have been flat bedded out.
But someone saw something just that they don't know what they saw.
Disabled car being removed?????? Most people have no clue from day to day.
Any lot camera coverage?
Is there a bank with an ATM across from the lot?
Just fishing but these are places to start.
I'm not familar with Texas.
I'm not sure it would be chopped because how big of a demand is there for late c3 parts?
I can see some Mexican drug dealer driving it in some chanty town across the border?
Someone had an order for a car like yours I'll bet.
Get with the Texas authorities and NTSB.
The border should be on NCIC as well.
Hopefully some sharp cop will spot it.
In the 90's we could not keep Mustangs and Jeeps they disappeared weekly. They were a status car for young inner city boys.
Your car had a customer order attached to it.
Todays yuts don't want our old cars.
Hope you find it or get a big enough compensation to replace it with something better.

Prolly the same crack head that stole my trailer. I hate thieves. Here's hoping you get it back.
