Gone, stolen, and no longer in your safe embrace. It\u2019s a panic: calling friends, family, the police, and taking almost any means necessary to find your missing car. Imagine, then, that your car is found on the internet, posted by the people who stole it, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/features\/781693\/subaru-brz-project-car-episode-2\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22781693%22%2C%22section%22%3A%223%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22subaru-brz-project-car-episode-2%22%7D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">parts you worked hard to buy<\/a> stripped from it. You call the police, who don\u2019t offer much help. Then, you find your car. Stripped, sad, and utterly ruined.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what a woman in Los Angeles recently experienced with her modified Nissan 370Z, except it got worse. On April 1st, Keiko, known as Goodiezy on Instagram, got her 370Z stolen. She put out a call to her considerable following to trace her car. In return, she received \u201cover 1,000 messages\u201d about her car, with some containing shared videos of her car being used and abused by a local \u201cstriker\u201d group\u2013basically, a group that regularly steals cars for parts and for street takeovers.<\/p>\n<p>Her car was found stripped of its most valuable parts, including carbon-fiber RS1 fenders, Weds Kranze Cerberus II wheels, and most of its body panels, interior, and suspension. Despite that, Keiko still decided to gather all of the evidence she had accumulated, much of it quite damning, and release it to the public. While we reached out to her directly for comment, her story is still well laid out for everyone to see.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a concerning tale, with screenshots of the alleged car kidnappers threatening her to \u201cget it bac (sic) in blood.\u201d Multiple messages containing apparent admissions to the theft, and how they planned to use the parts from Keiko\u2019s car to repair their own cars. Most importantly, she broke down the crew of people who stole the car, who call themselves \u201c3A.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There seem to be several active members who all participate in regular car thefts, partially named in her post. Since the 370Z was stolen, the group have apparently participated in more thefts, and even posted boastful videos of their alleged crimes. It\u2019s connected to the underground of takeover culture, where large groups of people shut down intersections to do donuts and burnouts.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the cars in a takeover are stolen and are often high-powered rear-drive models from certain automakers. A 370Z is common, as are its close platform-mates the Infiniti G37, G35, and older Nissan 350Z. You\u2019ll also see any number of Dodge Challengers and Chargers, and practically any rear-drive GM car in the mix. 3A, in particular, seems to favor the G37.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting tidbits of how strikers operate are in her posts. For example, the practice of stealing cars and parking them in broad daylight under car covers to make them unidentifiable. There are even hints of tools in use, such as radio-frequency spoofers that mimic car keys.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You might think, where are the police on all of this? From her:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe cops have had solid evidence on their desk since the first day to find my car and prevent it from getting this far, and they didn\u2019t. If anything happens to me or anyone I know, let it be publicly known [that] they like to threaten women.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Motor1 has reached out to the Pasadena Police Department and California Highway Patrol for comment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Motor1\u2019s take:<\/strong> Seeing this side of takeover culture getting laid bare is interesting and should be taken seriously. Hopefully, the local authorities investigate this properly, and Keiko sees the justice she deserves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comfort-title-large flex gap-spacing-sm-base items-center\">\n<p>\t\tWe want your opinion!\n\t<\/p>\n<p>What would you like to see on Motor1.com?<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/survey\/2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tTake our 3 minute survey.\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"compact-body-medium\">&#8211; The Motor1.com Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman&#8217;s Nissan 370Z was stolen by alleged &#8220;strikers.&#8221; She exposes the perpetrators of the theft in a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":732753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[303024,303021,168252,1582,276,28635,83569,28505,303023,303022,57191,287495,2961,224,5337,231187,66916,1269,41537],"class_list":["post-732752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-350z","tag-370z","tag-b2c","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-challenger","tag-charger","tag-dodge","tag-g35","tag-g37","tag-gm","tag-infiniti","tag-la","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-military-police","tag-nissan","tag-opinion","tag-striker"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116416005757820397","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=732752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/732753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=732752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=732752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=732752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
