Sorry to hear, I hope you recover your car soon. Generic key ?! I did not know about it.
Good luck on getting it back !

one effective and cheap theft deterrent is the installation of a Momo removable steering wheel but not bulletproof if they tow it. I hope you recover your car back or had it properly insured with an appropriate replacement value.

This is exactly why I have mine.

OP, really hope you get your car back. Some people are POS.

Good grief, what a nice car, what a bummer. I hope you find it and/or get a nice check from insurance. As nice as your car was/is, there’s always another one, unlike people, which are really not replaceable.

Id have two ads up: One, a reward for info for the return of the car, Two, reward for the body of the thief, dead or alive. No excuses.

Not a very big guy, knit hat, skate board style shoes (look like Adidas), baggy shorts. Looks like no watch (younger guy?) Is that a logo on his socks? Have you checked the local skate park with a picture to see if anyone recognizes this guy?

Sorry about the loss.

There is definitely no such thing as a "generic key". The Porsche locks are made up with fixed height tumblers, so unless the key is cut to the exact same pattern as the tumblers it will not turn. This requires an exact key. That said, if you have a key that is fairly close and a lock that is slightly worn, with a little jiggery pokery you can more often than not get a lock to align the tumblers and turn with a little resistance.

Sadly the only way forward is to install some form of immobilisation and a tracking device.

find an immobilizer from a ‘90s Ferrari and put that in! will prevent anyone from turning on the car, yourself included.
