Kate says her red 1992 Honda Civic CX hatchback was stolen from North 86th Street between Dayton and Evanston avenues sometime overnight. She had a club on the steering wheel and she didn’t find any broken glass in the street. The license plate is 481 XVD.
Since the police and many others have told me that lots of cars are driven around and then left in a neighborhood where they will not be discovered immediately, I am hoping you can help me keep an eye out for her. Think of it as a treasure hunt. My undying gratitude for her safe return.
Identifying features: After a previous theft, I put an Obama ’08 bumper stick on the back drivers side of the hatch to make her easier to identify in case I ever had to go out looking for her again. Also half scraped off CT emissions sticker in the front windshield and Sierra Club sticker in the back window. Last seen wearing blue Mardi Gras beads on the rear view mirror.
If you have any information or see the car by the side of the road, please leave a note in comments, or email Kate. If you see someone driving it around, call 911 and report a stolen vehicle.

My Honda Accord was stolen (with a club on the wheel) from my “secured” parking garage several years ago. I live in PhinneyWood. The police said that the perps will drive with the driver’s door completely open. They also said some car thieves will bring their own steering column and pull out the one with the club.

Your lazy troll butt smells, Judith.

Shame on you Judith for your wanton callousness. Your comments are inappropriate and entirely unnecessary. And here I though this was a forum for neighborly behavior. I’m glad you and your opulent wealth don’t live next door to me.

I feel for you Kate, my red Honda civic was stolen last year and it was gutted before it was found, only 4 hours later!
As for Judith, the only thing that was being requested from each of us was for us to keep our eyes out for her car. Don’t be such a butt head.

Judith, you heartless wench! Lend me some sugar; I AM YOUR NEIGHBOR!

Sorry to hear about all the other stolen cars. There is scarcely a soul in town that doesn’t have a similar story. It is an awful feeling to look out and find an empty space where your car should be. This is the second time mine has been stolen. Last time, I got it back with the interior stripped. Bought junk yard parts, put her back together and kept going. But it the insurance paid that time and won’t now. Hoping someone just took a joy ride and then parked it in a neighborhood this time. Unlikely, I know with this type of car, but hoping anyway. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

Hi everyone – We deleted comments from someone who appeared to be using someone else’s name, which is a violation of our commenting rules. And I deleted a comment from someone else that gave the original commenter’s (fake) name and where they worked, because we don’t want the real person getting any backlash. Thanks.

Thanks for monitoring, Doree. It’s a shame we can’t all play nice and keep to the rules.
