haha you guys are a trip.
I bought it at a sheriffs auction. The sheriff didnt have the keys because the car was picked up on theside of the road, thus me having to start it with a screwdriver. I think I found the original owner before the car was picked up by the tow yard.
Make sence??

In that situation, i might not only want a new lock set...but a new paint job, wheels, and slip cover for the vin til the previous owner stops huntin' down the lucky dude who snatched his car in auction.

I don't know man. This still sounds sketchy.
And even if it happened the way you said it, there's probably a reason it was left on the road in the first place....

well, im not here to argue my side of the story, but consider, would I put my life on the line to steal a Porsche 944? haha doubt it.
And consider the following: I already have 3 other cars as well
My turboed Mustang Notch:
My TA WS6
And my little Honda CRX daily
and now my little Porsche
Regardless, Im here just for help...not really crazy about being called a theif. Hope you guys dont treat all newcomers this way.

I wouldnt take it too harshly.. A lot of us get a little paranoid when we see a new member (low post count) with a "locked my keys in the car, how do I get in" thread as well.
Welcome to Rennlist. Get the car retitled asap, and get ALL new locks and keyset. THE PO may have a title for YOUR CAR let alone the keys!!
Best of luck!

Welcome to the Forum, werd - it really is a nice place once the paranoid natives get to smell you. Then we're very helpful to our brethren.
There's been a rash of stolen 944s, which is not something to be taken lightly. When you invest too much of your blood, sweat, tears, and money into a quite rewarding machine it really hurts when it's torn from you by some lowlife.
Nice little collection spanning several automakers - I'll bet that turbo-stang is fairly quick in a straight line.
Let us know if you get the key!

on topic now- congrats on the 944. seems like a far departure from a turbo 5.0 and a WS6........

You better go through that car with a fine-toothed comb werd... next thing you will find is a dime bag under the seat or some outlandish crap like that.
I hope you got the car for a steal, ahem.
