i forgot to take pictures cuz i was so excited... but there was 90 pignose coupe and a 97 kouki s14... the s14 was mostly stripped but it still had a kouki carbon fiber hood and half the kouki tail lights (rear ended)... the pignose had mostly everything still in there, it had the sohc, both seats, both rear seatbelts, and the ka transmission ... the good thing is that the junk yard is big, so you could pocket some small and medium sized objects... so i pocketed the master clutch cylinder, two seatbelt buckles and a 95 astro van door handle

id say it was a good day at work

Next time you have a yard sale, tell me so I can come take some random things. You'll never miss them.

Are you guys really crying about stealing from a junkyard? You really think they would be heart broken to know that someone stole something that was small enough to put in your pocket? Who cares. Everyone does it. It's the cool thing to do.

OP, Does the coupe have a lip by chance? Good condition shift boot? I'll pay for them if you can get ahold of either. And by good condition shift boot I mean nothing torn, cracks, the black fading hardcore. Pics would be great.

Yeah... a freking huge one! The one with the octopus as they're "mascot" there is always a couple of s13's there, but sadly no S14's.

I'm not gonna lie, I've pocketed a couple things from the junk yard. Who pays for fuses!

Wow! So that makes it legal? Its that kinda crap that makes them charge so much. If everyone paid for what they got, the junk yard wouldn't need to charge as much for the things people actually bought. They've got to make $xxx to stay in business, so to cover the cost of steeling, they jack up the price for the honest ones.

True true.. I went to nissan heaven one day. Charged me $5 for a radio, door handle and seat warmers for a g20 (pretty rare). I went back a few months later and now the guy said something about a $25 minimum for anything. waaaack I did steal a door sill screw one time though. Thats not horrible right?

Every time I flip around the tv channels and happen upon that "To catch a predator" show, I watch a few minutes of it and wonder "Are there people in this world that are really this stupid?" Then I read threads like this and it ends all doubt.

Keep stealing guys, you'll never get caught. Oh, and then make sure you continue to talk about it on forums, with your email addresses, aim user names, city, what places you are stealing from, and every other moronic detail exposed. Some of you guys are really too stupid to be on a computer. I hope you get caught. I mean really, REALLY hope you get caught. You probably wont, but there is always hope.

Sounds like you went a while back. I went yesterday and saw there's a posted $35 minimum spending limit. And all the stock radios are "on sale" for $15. Luckily I was buying more than $35 worth of stuff, and got some good deals.

Not that I've ever stolen anything, but I think going in for a $35 dollar screw would be kind of ridiculous. You better plan on buying other things to make it worth it.

Didn't see a single S13 or S14 lip. One of the hot items obviously.

not really to play devils advocate... but junkyards make 90% of their profit from scrapping metal. thats how they stay in buisness
