I felt bad for you OP hopefully you got enough insurance coverage to satisfy the loss and maybe replace it with something better. Sometimes a simple and cheap deterrent works like a battery disconnect system or a quick release steering wheel, but if the thief wants your car bad he'll take it even if it's in your bedroom.

I want to share some very good news. The LAPD found my car and it's in pretty good shape. The thief popped the lock on the door and destroyed the ignition but otherwise it looks to be in good shape. Tomorrow it goes to TLG where Marco will perform a proper assessment but as the detective told me, "I've been doing this a long time and as outcomes go it doesn't get much better than this." Thanks to the community for the support and kind words and thanks to the LAPD for acting quickly. On the retribution side of the scale the thief was nowhere near the car when it was covered so he is still out there. The Detective thought the car may have been targeted so be vigilant. I know I will be from now on.

Let’s make sure we park in the garage.

Congrats. Please share some details, if you can, about how and where the car was found. Useful for LA residents, I would think. Best and quickest solution I've read on this topic at RL.

So glad they found the car in decent shape... that has to be pretty rare!!
LOL, that + an AR, a mossberg, tons of handguns, a pitbull, 11 video cameras with night vision. My garage also has two interior motion sensors + two exterior, two glass break sensors at the windows and a sensor on the garage door opening. You might say I'm slightly paranoid.

Really awesome news! Consider yourself very lucky. Lots of professional car stealing rings have come through LA recently where cars go directly to storage containers and are never seen again.
