Any tips please call Newport Beach police or email me

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Good luck. If I were the cops, I'd be looking in containers headed for Europe in Long Beach.

Dang...

Good luck and here's hoping for a recovery. Or not if it ends up in pieces.
Then we'll hope for a good insurance settlement.

Sorry to hear that. A Seattle police officer once told me, "If you catch a burglar in your home or attempting to steal your vehicle, shoot to kill."

I'd hate the bio-hazard mess that would leave behind. I hope the authorities can locate and recover your car.

This might lead to a good question... How effective are the immobilizer's in these cars? What have other 993 owners done by way of aftermarket alarm systems, etc. I know if someone wants your car bad enough they'll find a way of getting it. But I'm curious if there are any options out there to make stealing these cars a little more difficult.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your car, hope it is only temporary.

Hope you get the car back and the police catch the thieving animals!

F**king bastards!
Alarms systems are great against the novice thief, but the pros find its simplier to back a flat bed tow truck in front of the car and drag it on. Drive it a few miles then unload it into a container truck.
Happens every day a Phoenix detective friend tells me.
His advise was to put a Lo-Jack system in it if you really want it back.
