Stolen Car (1992 NSX) Please help find it

A friends car was stolen yesterday around midnight from Magnus Motorsports. It is a 1992 Acura NSX- Black with black wheels. License plate BEFM 318. It was last seen heading south on Keele St around Steeles...

Please keep a look out for it! This guy is a car lover like the rest of us...

That sucks. Coincidently I saw a black NSX yesterday (the 12th) around 8:30am on the 401 heading west from Durham into Scarborough, I believe he got off at Morningside or Neilson. Not sure if this was pre or post the timeline of the theft, but I thought I'd mention it.

Heard about this, this morning was curious if it was Marko's or a clients. Hopefully they can recover it before it gets stripped or shipped!

This is Robbie's car, the exhaust note it's pretty deep because of the turbo. You WILL know if you see it right away.
The car has black powder coated wheels , so black on black.

This faking car has to surface, it's bullshit.

Fackin low life thiefs .

That sucks, I'll keep an eye out. People caught stealing/stripping stolen cars should be charged to go through the same thing they did to the cars; stripped and rode by thugs in prison.

Things gorgeous.. hopefully the douchebag get's caught

I have no idea why everyone is so "down" on this thief. Surely there was insurance on this vehicle?

A lot of guys would say: In that case, it is "covered", and therefore a "victimless" crime. Let the poor thief have some fun with a car he could never afford....He has probably had a tough time, and needed a little enjoyment....

Insurance is never going to give him what he has put into that car. So in the end, a car that he has spent a ton of time getting it to where it is, is going to cost him even more. Plus he has to hunt down a minty NSX so he can get it back to where it is.

i can see why someone would want it really bad...beautiful car...could one not have it appraised, and insured for what's it's worth currently, rather than a "book" value?

Was the car parked outside Magnus ?

I hope the guy gets his car back, that's horrible. I feel bad when someone looked through my old glove box when I left my dsm unlocked, make me feel bad man Couldn't imagine hearing it is gone. Especially when it's as rare of a car like the nsx, and the amount of money he put in it

The car is probably in freight container heading to Asia by now.

Of course.

Then you're assuming that the person doing the appraisal knows what he is looking at.

When I made my claim for a fire incident, the appraiser decreased the value because of the stock "cuts-outs" in the plastic lining behind the passenger fender for the SMIC. Nothing I said or showed him, mattered.

Wow...

I think Ziggy is being facetious, Manuel. It's a rivalry with a few other members of the board, not intended for the owner of the car. I think. :shrug:

True, it's like judged sports in the olympics...but i guess even if you could get back 50% of what you put in, it doesn't make anything better, but it's better than nothing. It's really a shame. I'd be devastated if someone stole my Lancer, not cause its a half-decent car, but because all the hard work i put into it.

Ah this again, like I said, committing a crime against an individual is not something I think is ok. Robbing a bank, lying to the government to save on taxes is fine tho, as long as no individual gets hurt.

but anyways, having insurance doesn't mean sh!t unless he had the car appraised with all the current mods etc. Regular insurance on an NSX, I'm sure he would get maybe 15k for it.

We're talking about two different kinds of appraisers here. The one I'm referring to is an appraisal one gets BEFORE they purchase insurance with the intent of having coverage to cover that amount. Of course, very few owners take this route since the insurance premiums are naturally going to be more.

Ziggy, there's more to this than just having insurance and letting them deal with it. Unlike you, some of us are friends with Marco and some know Rob and can vouch for him as being a stand-up guy who like us, put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into transforming his NSX into to what it was today – something insurance can’t replace. The reason why everyone is “so down on this thief” is to bring awareness and hopefully put enough “heat” on this theft that the car gets “dumped” somewhere and ultimately found – if it’s not already shipped out? You have used this forum to bring awareness on many topics of dealings with certain shops / individuals and this is no different. It’s letting the enthusiast community know about what happened. If you Google “NSX Stolen Magnus” you will see how many different forums have a thread on this topic. All these forums touch many different local clubs / enthusiasts and “awareness” has in the past been proven to find stolen cars.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. There are a few morons on this board who think some crimes are "victimless" because they are "covered". These clowns think it is OK to steal from government and big business, then bitch about taxes, insurance costs, etc. They are correct that if you steal from government you are not stealing from an individual, but they are too stupid to realize that if you steal from government you are stealing from EVERY individual. The reason our taxes and costs are so high is that TOO MANY people steal from the government and cheat the insurance companies. Somehow they can't grasp the concept that stealing is stealing, doesn't matter the amount or who was robbed, it is still THEFT, and ANY thief belongs in the same class as the person who stole this car.

You're quite right about this. I read not long ago about a "decked out" civic hatch that had been stolen and sold to someone, only to have the car found at a car club show. The original owner still had the spare key, jumped into the car started it. Then the new owner picked a fight with the original owner, anyway..long story short. There was a few thread topics on the car that had been stolen, which lead the original owner to believe that it may surface at this "car show" and low and behold, it was there. I'm sure the police had to get involved at that point and sorted out the mess.

So yes, discussing the NSX having been stolen..can't do any harm, only good. WHAT A SAD LOSS THOUGH

Seen an NSX this evening @ 7:27pm on Hwy#8 and turning left onto Bartlett towards the QEW.

This was black...the one I seen had the new row of LED's below the headlights.

Saw that one months back Will. Some woman owns it...

I seen a blonde women in the passenger seat?

I saw the blonde women driving it last time =O

Yeah, she loves driving the car.
Her husband is on prime.

did this car ever get found?

I was wondering the same thing

Unfortunally no.

Seems like it was found according to their Facebook page

That is wild! Glad they found them, sorry the car was in the condition it was in.

A mutual shop stole it and cut it up? WOW, I would definitely not feel remorse for what fate has in store for them. That's low.

Holy sh!t! That's just downright wrong!

Their website says they've been in the business for over 15 years and they pull this?

If the above is true.

Damn.

Who knows it could have been an individual or a few from the shop, but not in any way affiliated with the shop owner if you know what I mean.

Time to shut down that facking chopshop, I wonder how many other cars they stole.

Scums.

-Manuel

NSX Club should pay a visit? If they haven't already...

Definitely some bullshit and these guys should get their hands cut off, but Magnus needs to hire some security or some sh!t, or keep these cars inside.

I know it doesn't relate these are such beautiful cars

technically the NSX was inside....their dyno bay which the car was in. Well that's what I read, maybe on a different forum, but same event.

So the thieves broke into the shop to steal it?

Car was in parking lot, was stolen while they were running the dyno

At the front of the shop actually. They thought Rob, the owner had taken it out for a spin. But when Rob appeared seconds later they knew someone... (from rukusmotorsports as we know now) had stolen it.

I hope those involved are punished to the fullest extent of the law.

agreed! fuckin shame to see someone's heart and soul being stripped down to bare metal and sold off like world vision kids to clueless elderly people.

I don't know if that made any sense... LOL

but yeah! FUCKERS!! I wonder what the latest is about ruckus..they still open or no?

I saw the car today, or pieces of it in a pile I mean. Truely sad.

Too bad they cant do the same to the people involved in the chop shop. I know how hard I work to keep a Eagle Talon on the road I can only imagine how hard a person must work to afford and tweak a NSX just to have it torn apart

Attention people:
This thieves were out on bail the very next morning and now operating at their shop again.
Also they've claim that they just bought parts and not stole the car, even when up to the last bolt was found on their possession .

....

Isn't buying stolen parts still illegal? I mean, a reputable shop can check vin numbers and such to see if parts are indeed legit. So even if that's the case, they would be accomplice to the crime no? Either way, still thieves in my eyes specially since they new about a stolen NSX, aren't far from Magnus and never said a peep about their newly acquired "parts".

They will likely get a slap on the wrist.
As Manny said, they were out of jail there very next day.
