After 16 years of ownership, somebody had the nerve to steal my S2000 hardtop last night! Not sure why, perhaps it was due to the aluminum, hardtop paint began to peel already. My hood is aluminum too, but seems fine with its paint job... Anyway, whatever, it's stolen anyway. Somebody must really love that top I guess. Stole it right in front of my house after broken passenger side window. I suppose nowadays it's so easy to 'wrap' cars with different colors, messed up paint job is no big deal?

Nothing else in my car stolen nor damaged other than the broken passenger side window... so I'm sure it's another fellow S2000 owner who somehow just really wanted a factory top...

When I was in the dealership leasing the Clarity EV, a young asian salesmans approached me to see if I'm interested in selling my hardtop... or perhaps swap with him his carbon fiber top. I declined because his carbon fiber top cannot be easily installed onto my car... I wonder if he's the asshole who stole my top! Didn't realize my old hard top is in such hot demand?

Anyway, after cleaning up the window pieces and talking to police and insurance agent... I took my topless car out for a spin because I haven't driven it for a while...

I haven't removed the hard top for years I think. Probably since my daughter was born... probably more than 6 years ago!!! I actually haven't been driving the car that much since we leased the Clarity EV in order to save on gas money... I only drive it a bit every couple of weeks to make sure the thing still runs!

Anyway, dang it feels good to drive the S2k without the top!

Good thing they didn't steal my car I guess...
