Default STOLEN - Please be on the lookout!

In Scottsdale, AZ on April 5, 2021, my 964 was stolen from my carport. I have both keys, so someone used a generic as I have heard that this is an actual thing. The 911 is finished in Grand Prix White with a Burgundy Interior with White piping. It is a 1989 Carrera 4. It has new tail lights that were installed 4.5 years ago when I purchased the car. It has slightly less than 37,000 miles on the clock. If anyone hears about it, please contact me!

Looks like he is wearing glasses.

Guy walked up with the key in his left hand, got in and took off. Took less than 10 seconds.

Close up shot of the guy. Mind you it is 95 degrees, he is wearing a beanie and the mask with good reason.

That sucks. If the Police find a car they suspect is it, but the VIN is different, there are lots of other places you can identify the car with. I won’t post them here as the thief may be reading.

Suggest to get it out info on social media .... maybe Instagram. More people start passing along the info the better. Do you have a contact to report info to ? That absolutely sucks and hope they recover the car for you.

My worse nightmare. Been thinking of adding a fuel shut off.

Hope someone locates it fast.

Unfortunately cars like this are stolen to order, not by your usual joyrider.

I hope the piece of **** gets caught. I have more faith in USA police than I do U.K.

Long from being a detective, but have you taken your car to a mechanic recently?

Crazy that he was gone that fast

im with him not certain there is a pass key without trying a few at least , having one key that immediately fits leads me to suspect an inside

job , like with a service center or valet somewhere you left your key and it was copied ...

Didn't even know there was such thing as a generic key. So sorry to hear of your experience and I hope and pray you get it recovered soon and he ends up where he belongs. Fuel shut off sounds like a good idea in this context.
