    Default Parts Theft Alert!!

    Hey Mazda 3 community.

    I'm from TSXclub.com and I would like to inform you guys/gal about a thief in Richmond/Markham/Toronto area.

    Short story is that he stole a front OEM lip off one of the members' car at Yorkdale mall in broad daylight. The thief is also on other forums selling potentially stolen parts.

    Heres the Thread to his (A-Spec Kid) OWNAGE!

    Damn I just read through some of those pages. What an idiot. I hope the guy gets what is coming to him!

    Hopefully the guy who had his lip stolen gets some money or the parts back.

    Those are some pretty detailed photos. Cops should have him marked down by now guarantee it, looking for him to make another mistake so he can get caught in the act. I'll definitely be on the look out.

    I love how they caught him staring DIRECTLY into the camera hahaha...
    The security cams only got the stills of his car, with the black roof. I think the picture of himself was from the user profile he put up?

    Thanks for the heads-up Code85!

    Most important bit of info;

    Quoted from here;

    "His real name is Joe Creti
    His mom lives at Bayview + hwy 7 and his grandmother lives at Sheppard and Weston area.

    He goes to all Go bus parking stations and jacks rims, goes to numerous Thornhill dealers and yanks rims as well.
    He knows lots of Tow truck operators too.
    1 of his sisters used to be or still is a topless dancer..
    I think she has a 2006 blue 2 door civic.

    Tuesday March 10, 2009
    8pm
    Huron OPP

    London Road in Londesborough
    Vehicle not identified

    Joseph CRETI, 23, of Richmond Hill was charged with stunt driving for travelling 117 kilometres per hour in a 60 kilometre zone. He's due in court on April 30, 2009."

    I hope he gets everything that's coming to him. Having had my vehicles broken into 3 times by people like this I have no sympathy.

    He outright admits to thieving the lip later in the thread, and the mods were able to link both accounts back to the same IP..what a foolish thing to do; stealing a part and then bragging about it on the same forum where everyone is bound to know about the theft..
    There is a theory which states that a billion monkeys pounding on a billion keyboards will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare.

    Thanks to the Internet, we now know this theory is wrong.

    While I know it's illegal, I wished some people would pay this guy a visit, take pictures, and liberally distribute some street justice.

    Hopefully none of our members on here will ever dare pull something like this. Because if they do, the same thing will happen to them as it did to the assjerk guy name Joe.

    I'm glad he got caught. The funny parts are his idea of creating another account to defend himself to only expose the same IP thus admitting he is the theif. But nothing tops the clubs investigation to getting all the details they can. Right down to where his mother lives, his sister the stripper and his house/cell number! It's gold.

    I hope they do a meet at his house and record the entire session. This guy must be pissing himself with all the info the board members got on him. He just ****ed his image up to everyone who sees this and is now wanted by all - I think this is worse than having the cops on you in some ways.

    Way to go. He got what he deserves and hopefully he will get more coming to him.

    I love the idea of them all meeting up at his place to pick and choose parts off him. **** if that was me, I'd probably smash his windows, key his entire car, break anything that is breakable and then knife him in the eye.

    We should have some type of forum directed towards stolen parts just to keep all the documentations in order, just in case anything like this was to ever happen to us here. *knocks on wood* hope it never does!

    This is the funniest post i've ever seen. He apoligizes to a-speckid because he is supposed to what, feel bad that someone took the blame for him? Shouldnt he be happy that they are off his back? I cant believe no one is taking this into his own hands especailly the victims.

    My blood is boiling just from reading this. We work hard to buy our parts and it sucks when 's like him come and rip it off our car. If that happened to me, oh man, I'll act first and think about the consequences later if i knew where he lived
