Very disappointed to be making my first post on here an announcement that my 911 was stolen Thursday night in Venice, CA. 1988 with 86k miles on it, white exterior, white wheels and blue interior. Purchased 4 years ago and had kept in mint condition, so terribly upset about having it boosted (we have reserved off-street parking but it's not gated). I've read some of the other posts and understand odds are that it's on a shipping container out of the country already i.e. I'm not counting on LAPD to find it. Nonetheless, wanted to mention it on here in the off chance anyone happens to come across it online or in person.
another one ? wasnt one just stolen out of san fran last week ?
lock up your toys boys !!!
so sad, i'm sure its gone to Europe or Asia
here is hoping someone just joy rided it and you will see it soon , personally I think these cars are being targeted, and California is the most target rich environment for escalating value classic Porsches.
I noticed a guy yesterday at the Patrick Long Luftgekwhatever event taking pictures of license plates and I was freaked. Not the car, just the plate. He walked up to about a foot away and bent over kinda to the side and snapped a shot then moved on to the next one. He'd look around, bend over, snap the shot and move to the next car. Took me a bit to figure out what he was doing. Once I was out of my car he was gone in the crowd. WTF!!! This was out in the normal 911 street car / enthusiast section, not the high dollar collector sections. I think he was fishing for targets.

Doug too bad you didn't walk up to him and say excuse me sir .. and snapped his pic..
enthusiasts cars are much more available than high dollar collectors .. average theif can get your car out of your garage and gone in a couple of minutes im sure.

This is disturbing since I was at the show yesterday. All this dude needs is a buddy at the dmv and he has our address.
Do you guys have alarms and hidden kill switches?
The hidden kill switch is very efficient. Unless they remove the car with a truck, those guys need to go fast, and with a switch hidden behind a random button in the dashboard or somewhere else, the robber would have to give up.
No car is impossible to steal but the more security layers you have the longer it will take for them to drive your car away

My buddy's 993 got stolen from his gated condo garage with a truck. They can be in and out in seconds. I think this is the preferred method for the serious auto thieves. Don't kid yourselves that hidden kill switches and alarms are going to save you.

This is very concerning. I was at the event and did see someone take a picture of my plate. I thought it was a bit weird but the plate is custom so didn't think much about it since I thought he might have found it creative. Not good.
