My 21 TLX aspec was stolen last week and it’s messing me up.

I posted recently about my TLX being stolen from a suburban area in NJ (close to Philly). Past few days I haven’t been able to sleep. I constantly wake up and check AcuraLink app to see if it finally traced or not. Having a hard time facing the reality. I took care of the car like it was a Porsche or BMW and a lot of people used to say “it’s just Acura”. I guess it wasn’t about the car but I worked so hard for it and I finally got a new car with 0 mileage. 5 years later it’s just snatched from you. I still have 2.5 years left to pay it off (I initially leased and then financed it). I was planning on keeping this car for another 10-15 years. I feel so shitty about it and feel embarrassed and violated. It’s not the experience that I wanted in my life that I’d be talking about it further down the road with someone. “Yea that happened to me”… most people I spoke to so far, they ask “did you lock the car”? “Why didn’t you put AirTags” “that’s why I have killswitch, you should’ve”. It makes me feel like shit even more.

I realized that there three main things that are bothering me. 1. cops haven’t done shit. The detective assigned to my case was on PTO until two days ago and I found out by calling other departments. 2. I am an athlete so I had few soccer cleats and basketball shoes that I played in HS and college with that I really liked. 3. some knucklehead now has my info (address, phone number, possibly whatever info in receipts).

Any advice or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. I told my family and my wife that idk if I’m ready for another car. I just wanna use our family car for now and that’s it. I have owned the 07 TL, ‘15TLX, and 21 aspec (now stolen). Been a Acura faithful but it’s hard to come back from this shitty moment.
