Gotham Racing robbed

Just saw this over on 7club, be on the lookout for stuff, hopefully with enough awareness out there whoever did this will slip up and fall hard

I went up there a couple days after that happened. Steve was a good guy and still let me show up for the dyno/tune that we had agreed upon before it happened. They left some stock RX8 catbacks lol. I guess they really are worthless. Hope those guys get to be someone's bitch in jail.

WOW, that was a TON of stuff stolen from them. The bastards that did it will get caught, no way you can move that kind of inventory without raising some suspicion.

That's what I was thinking, I figure maybe this post might be my little itty bitty tiny bit of help I can give those dudes, they're one of a handful of shops in Texas that are actually worth a crap, much less knowledgeable as far as rotaries go. I just hope our neighbors in the surrounding states get word and keep a lookout for odd sales coming out of nowhere, either that stuff is floating around here or it made it over the border, who knows, just my hope and prayer that whoever did it kicked in the ***** and run over by the karma train and that Gotham can turn it into something positive somehow.

not sure that is 100% true. sure it would be nice that they get more business, but they should be receiving a nice lump sum of money from insurance soon. their client base is still there, they are just lacking the tools and supplies to do more work on cars. in this case, it seems that they have too much business because they dont have the tools to back it up. lets hope for a speedy recovery....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just a friendly reminder, keep eyes/ears open, sooner or later this will haunt whoever did it.
