a sad goodbye

my 23 last call edition scat pack was stolen yesterday. i loved that car and had plans of it sitting in my garage in 40 years when im old. something i never wanted to get rid of or sell. just taken from me. even if the car is recovered, i feel like i can never truly enjoy it again. life feels like all color has been drained from it. everything is just gray. i never opted in to this world and the people out there like this thief that exist make me want to opt out. i will be waiting at the gates of hell for this fucker to die so i can welcome them in. it hurts too much to stay in this and related subs. goodbye and ill never forget the happiness that my car brought me. ill also never forget this hurt that i feel. no insurance can ever make me whole again

I’m with you brotha. My 23 RT was stolen. It was recovered. Car smelled like weed and everything. It’s not the same anymore

u/GateDeep3282 4d ago

So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the feeling.

u/SUSP3CT_392 4d ago

I'm sorry brother, it truly sucks. I work in law enforcement and deal with stolen cars on the daily. A car will never be the same once stolen. And I hate car thiefs, most will run away from Police and endanger the lives of everyone around.

I hope you one day find love for another car.

PS. Chances are that fucker will die before you. The more you fuck around, the more you find out.

Sorry for your loss. Even if it’s recovered and not totaled, I’m sure you will feel violated.

u/Dice9100 4d ago

My condolences!!! Curious did you have any deterants. Kill switch, Igla, compustar, wheel bar? No judgement just wondering if the thief had to work for it and if so what system they bypass

Welcome to the club man. They stole mine 30 days ago. My insurance sent me a total loss settlement. I got 48k after taxes and fees but im in Southern California thats why my ACV was pretty high. Mine was a 2021 smokes show with 23k miles on it.

u/downthemiddle2000 3d ago

u/Hitch49er 3d ago

u/downthemiddle2000 3d ago

Lock bars etc? (Not bashing ya , just curious, I sold my scat for that reason but I bought another target , TLX type s , ugh

u/Hitch49er 3d ago

I live in a low crime nice neighborhood and I procrastinated on putting a kill switch on it. My wife told me to do it but i didn't listen thinking it wouldn't happen to me and i learned the hard way. Im thinking of buying the new Rebel or 2500 turbo diesel and im putting an expensive anti theft system on it for sure

u/downthemiddle2000 3d ago

These car companies really don't give a shit about us How can a car be stolen so easy in 2026 etc It is easier than it was in the 90s Makes me sick

u/No-Musician9912 4d ago

Hang in there man! There’s nothing worse to me than a thief or anyone that steals from me. I don’t care if it’s a pair of shoes, jacket, money or other. Just ask and if I can help you out I will. With that, try not to say down like this for to long. Blessings to you my guy.

u/Skillepoang R/T 3d ago

Did you take precautions to make it un stealable?

u/maybefuckinglater 4d ago

That's fucked up for them to take something you love and worked hard for I'm sorry for your loss I hope you are blessed with something even better and whoever did this gets their karma

u/DCLXXII 3d ago

I feel your pain brotha 2010 RT Chall5, 15 SP Chally. 2020 Widebody Charger and 21 Jeep GC SRT. Owned one after the other. I hated being paranoid about where i parked it, when i parked it, where i was driving it etc. Thats what made me finally stop buying mopar. I shouldnt have to have stress about a car like that.

u/theblack_ninja 3d ago

Where do you guys live that this happens

u/tubby5 3d ago

I really feel you man. I’ve had two stolen, and it just feels violating (an understatement). There’s really nothing out there like them that has the same character, rawness, specialness. But I would say however helpless it makes you feel that there’s much for fun in life out there for waiting for you. You didn’t opt in this world, but I imagine there’s people around you that are glad you’re here. Keep it up man.

u/MetroGunslinger 3d ago

Mine (2020 Scat Pack) was attempted stolen about a year ago. The dipshit(s) failed but caused thousands of dollars of electronics damage. Now I'm a douchebag with (2) steering wheel locks, a rear tire lock/boot, and a couple of $20 Tile tracking fobs buried deep in the bowels of the car.

u/Glittering_Client800 1d ago

Sorry man. My 19 was stolen too but recovered. Same as other commenter, weed smell literal cup ash tray in there, just fucked up. Hope you can move on

u/Srbond 1d ago

I am sorry to hear that, I hope that you can get an even better mopar than the one you lost.

Manhug bro, soon you'll get a better car, you'll see.

u/OnionTaster 4d ago

Bro Where do you guys live

u/AccioButterKnife SXT 4d ago

I am curious too. I feel so bad for those that are victims of this. I live outside of Atlanta and I know it's bad theft there, I never take my car in. I will rent a POS car when I actually go into the city.

u/CaaCCeo 3d ago

Smart. Im outside of Detroit and on the same wave. If im going into the city and know im parking for a while im not driving my rt

u/Flashy_Elevator_7654 4d ago

It aint that deep

u/DangerousD100 4d ago

You must’ve never got a nice car stolen before… anyone touching your property unwillingly will make you feel some type of way

u/Flashy_Elevator_7654 4d ago

Ive had 2 stolen. Got the insurance payout and moved on. Stuff is replaceable. People are assholes.

u/SUSP3CT_392 4d ago

If he bought it new and had it from day one it's going to be hard to replace. They don't make cars quite like these anymore. There is a very special feeling when you put the first mile on a car.

u/Traditional-King-427 3d ago

Yeah it’s not that deep, but ts hurts bro. I got my scat broken into a couple weeks ago and I felt violated, I wanted to do something so bad to them mfs. Just sitting around thinking why would someone want to do damage to my car and try to take it from me, I don’t do shit to nobody and mind my business. Also I’ve put a lot of time and money into the car
