I have been looking at this for a while. I still cannot get over the fact of this. I used to live in CA my self. Moved to California 2 years ago. What beach were you at? Go to the police department and give it your best shot. You have nothing to loose. Tell them it's worth enough money to buy their car (Don't you'll piss 'em off but you get my point). Another thing you could do is put up a trap. I think that may be your best bet. Simply be bashing and put an R/C on the top of a vehicle. Put cameras around it and keep people on a look out. Either 2 things happened. You were targeted or some kid said, "Oooo those things are cool". In order to see it he could have been on a routine route. If that were me I would be looking non-stop at you guys driving those R/Cs if I never seen one. I say put up a trap and go from there. Make them something they cannot refuse. I would also go to all the hobby shops. There are MANY hobby shops. I would try to fax every hobby store in Northern California. Look around, some lifeguard stands have cameras. Actually most do. Go to the Lifeguard center (Depending on the beach) and ask them if they have a tape you can watch on this date at this time. It all depends where you were. If only you were on Venice beach, you would have the car 1 hour after it was stolen (Traffic, cameras and mucho cops). I would do anything in my power to get that thing back.
Now to everyone's views on stealing. It's wrong. I do not care of your situation. I do not care if you are poor. There is a reason why you are poor. Now granted some people cannot go to college. There are some that are just plain out stupid. But that does NOT give you the right to steal other people's property. If it is not yours simply don't touch it. Not only that but come on man, carma is going to come bite you in the ass and make you regret it. If you said that that guy may have had the right to steal (I don't mean to judge) than you need some respect for other people and yourself. To the people that were saying you should not have left it sitting there. We should NOT have to worry about are stuff being stolen because it is sitting in plain sight. I do not when all of a sudden it was OK to steal something when it is just sitting there. IT'S NOT OK. This hole situation pisses me off. The reason why: When I was 6 I used to race Go-Carts. For Christmas my dad bought me all the parts we needed to blue print the engine. Well after presents were all open we went to go install it. We went out to the garage and all 4 of my carts were stolen. The garage was bent in half. I lost about 7-8k dollars in carts. Only 1 of them were a race cart thank god (not cheap about 1.5k). I got to race it twice. 1st time I got black flagged because I ran into someone on purpose and 2nd I got 1st place and my cart was the slowest and less modified (still brand new). The rest of them were fun carts and so on. Still the point is PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR BELONGINGS BEING STOLEN.
Now granted in a perfect world things will not get stolen. We all know things are going to get stolen. We all have to watch out for those idiots that decide to do something destructive and stupid. Thank god that technology is evolving to have a safer world. But as good technology evolves so will bad ones. As an example, computer viruses. Countless numbers of viruses are blocked, prevented, repaired, and destroyed a day. But at the same time viruses are also being created, developed and evolving. This is just how things work. I just hope it doesn't get into paypal cause then a lot of people are screwed. There is no way to prevent it. But it cannot hurt to reduce it. Things should be taken in to bigger hands. People that steal (most of the time) will only get a slap on a wrist and maybe a fine. This needs to be changed so they will not do it again.
Overall, in no way is stealing right. It is simply wrong. End of story. No if, ands or buts. I hope that you get this back Brice.
Brice for your next prototype may I suggest this:

It is not expensive nor is it cheap. But it will make sure no idiots do anything stupid. These things come in very small packages. I have one in my camaro. It's about the size of a flash drive and could easily be put in a 1/5 car of that size. Maybe inside the engine or something.
P.S. The car looks amazing. I wish I could learn to do that. Mind PMing me how you do it? I plan on my career in something like engineering.
This is by-far the best post I have ever read.(Including other forms)
And as Charlie Daniels said in his song "Simple Man" a judge "Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town"
I am Sick and tired of these people stealing taking breaking and in general abusing other peoples stuff, and then getting away with it!!! What I mean is that there is in the area of 3 MILLION people in jail, and what do these quote "wise judges" do, put a killer in jail for life, and then go and release them early because they were quote "well behaved". Also I have seen people like 17 years old, and have crime sheets as long as they are tall!!! The worst part is that they know they can get away with anything, as long as they are under 18, then these sue-happy lawyers go and compound the problem.....It's nut what is happing out there, go back 70 years ago, and you did not even have to lock you front door!! Because people back then had respect for other people, and there stuff back then, unlike people to day which are only interested in making money, the said thing is, is if they put haft that effort into a real job, they would make more money!!
