So I was recently deployed to afghanistan and my car that i worked on all year, the one year di have between deployments, was stolen. The last thing that i had of my brother was in that car, eagle rods cp pistons, was in the rebuilt engine. Literally the heart and soul of the car. It was stolen from killeen Tx. on May 21 or 22nd. I know not everyone lives in tx but if you happen to see these parts for sale anywhere please PM me or email me at [email protected] If the information you give me leads me to my car I will give you the 1000$ reward. I have exhausted all other options and the f@$#ing police aren't doing a damn thing about, just took the report and are waiting on their fat asses. Image

Start looking on Craig list or ebay. I'm sure some idiot would be dumb enough to do it. I'll keep an eye out as well since I'm in Austin. Cops aren't going to do anything unfortunately. Don't do any retaliation if you find out who it is though. It has to be somebody you know or told them about your car. I don't see somebody randomly taking a built SR engine. Most people wouldn't know what to do with it anyways.

Upload them to an image account like flikr or photobucket. Then after that, copy the URL link provided by the hosting service. A lot of times, the service will include different links for different situations. Photobucket, for instance, has a link specifically for message boards like this one that begin with the [URL] tag that you need.

Did you leave your car in the storage lot or w/ a friend or family or what?
When I deploy, I only leave my car with family and/or wife.
Also, You need to give USAA a call and arrange for better insurance while deployed. My renter's insurance covered my car if it was going to be parked/stored and even covered my gear while deployed, so that if/when stuff got stolen, it got replaced ^_^.
Waiting on pics of this car, I have MP friends in Texas.
