Re: Pimpala gets the Curse!

If that's you holding them above your head, then that's great - you can be eliminated from the search.  I remember specifically someone hitting the alternator wires with bolt cutters.  I was laughing to myself - they were cutting the wires after the casing was smashed to bits.

Re: Pimpala gets the Curse!

Ok so I went through my pics and I prettymuch got everyone that went in the drivers side window in a photo, EXCEPT there was about a minute period that I was focusing on that smokin hot chick with the red hair and the pry bar on the back bumper...  Sorry she was really hot.

WINWAR can you identify the perp from these?

This is the first guy, I have a few more shots of him but not his face just the back of his head, however I'm 99% sure he had no tools in his hand and was simply trying to open the hood which he eventually did:

Then we have this guy, I don't know what he was doing:

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/tommy861/IMG_3150.jpg

BUT take a look at his hand when he came out of the window:

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/tommy861/IMG_3152.jpg

I don't know what that is it could be a car part or a pair of scissors, or who knows what.

Then we have this guy with the camera, look closely at his left hand, the next shot I have I am pretty sure you can see him in the window, however being that he is carrying a fairly expensive camera I doubt he was really doing anything other than taking pics:

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/tommy861/IMG_3165.jpg

Then theres this guy, all the shots I have of him are prettymuch blocked, but this is what I have, and no idea what hes doing:

Hope this helps anyone who saw anything.

Re: Pimpala gets the Curse!

Yep, I hit a battery cable at the alternator.

Whew, I was not looking forward to the angry crowd of Lemons participants in my driveway attacking my future Lemons car.

Re: Pimpala gets the Curse!

Hammer.  I noticed the interesting grip that the hammer had while walking around "looking" for the curse.

Re: Pimpala gets the Curse!

In the video, around 44 seconds, you see me on the pass side trying at the radio and then there is a dark blue shirted guy on the pass. Also in the last picture posted. That would be my guess as who it was. I remember a dark shirt, tanner skin and dark hair.

Oh, and he had both hands in the car to get at them.

Ok if you look closely in the video you can see him go in the window at around 44 seconds then, both hands in the window, and then at about 1 minute you get a pretty clear shot of him, thats definitely the same guy I photographed in that last shot.  You can't see what kind of tool is in his hands there, but take a close look at him there.

Considering what this group did to the car, if  were the guy who cut the harnesses I'd take a trip over to Timbuktu for a while....

Re: Pimpala gets the Curse!

You can't give a group of guys 5 minutes to let out years of auto frustrations and then expect them to calm down. We got the sweet taste of blood and now we want more! hahaha
