Exclamation theft/vandalism @ Holler Honda Orlando, FL

being a valued, appreciated, and respectful employee of Holler Honda, i feel compelled to expose this information in the hopes it will solve this mystery of burglary....

so i drive into the lot coming to work this morning & see cops everywhere (ground & helicopter)... hmm, interesting. i park & go inside to clock in, immediately a service porter informs me WHY there's cops on property... vandalism/stolen property.

so i walk out to the lot & see the damage. four 2007 Honda S2000's with their soft-tops cut; no seats; no airbags; 2 of the 4 shift knobs missing... im speechless. even more disturbing... one of the four hit was the same blue one i took to the Sanford Memorial Day Parade on Monday. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

so after the investigation was written up i heard from the service manager that 4 were broken into, 8 seats & side airbags stolen, 2 shift knobs stolen, various pieces of interior trim stolen, & rather large gouges in the interior trim from fighting the small door opening & large seats. apparently these guys have been watching our store for some time to know the routine of cameras, security, the lot in general, etc... no detectible finger prints were found from the investigation.

after SCSO ended their investigation for the day i had to move the S2000's to our overhang in the back of the dealer for A. protection and B. to prevent further damage from rain or bugs, etc... it was interesting driving those cars from the floor instead of the seat & furthermore difficult without the shift knob in 2 of the 4.

about the only GOOD news to come from the day is the unofficial evidence collected. apparently with the security cameras, the images weren't so hot but our security company might be able to help out. so hopefully good news from that front in a couple of days' time.

*DELETED FOR LEGAL REASONS*

the reason i state all of this information is to please assist in any way you can. check out eBay for S2000 parts, check out car forums such as S2SKI, OrlandoForums, Honda-Tech, ClubCivic, etc...... & report ANY thing that doesnt seem right.

thank you in advance. btw, if any information leads to the arrest of these bastards, there is a reward being offered. idk the sum as of yet, but i have heard it will be put forth for the help in the ongoing investigation.

thanks for your time. peace.

~Joey

Freakin' thieves. It's not safe to take my S anywhere these days.

Thankfully, to get to my car where it stays most of the time, you need to move two other cars with security systems, break into a garage with a security system, attached to a house with a security system and armed residents. Then there's the security system on the Honda itself...


Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for anyone trying to hock seats and shift knobs.

im not sure of the procedure or policy honestly. about the ONLY thing ever stolen to my knowledge as of since ive worked here was a new Si shift knob @ our old location in winter park... but that was expected due to the dumbass salesppls leaving a window open after a test-drive late one evening.
