Very sorry for the loss. Having had a couple of home buglaries years ago in another location, I, regretfully, know what you're going through. (Been through a tornado as well but that's another traumatic situation). These aren't Toyota Camrys...very visable special vehicles. Hopefully, the police have notified the Port Authority, Customs, etc. Suggest you notify PCA. They can post the descriptions and VINs in the PANORAMA and on-line.

Read all 4 'pages'.
This wasn't random, you were targeted.
Hopefully there's some camera footage somewhere.
Since another poster has already brought up Pulp Fiction -- at times like these, don't we all wish we could, somehow, turn back time, and be waiting for the scum so that we could go to work on them, with a pair of pliars and a blowtorch.
Don't get me started.

I have been a fan of your 993 since I started on Rennlist - the slate grey is fantastic and the interior mods you did were oustanding. Like everyone else has said, this sucks.

My wife is a big believer in karma. I usually brush it off but in this case I would love for it to be true. It seems like these days people with morals are about as commonplace as pigs that fly.

We used to have a Mitsu EVO 8. It was broken into 3 times. After the 3rd time, my wife ordered a new MINI. On the 3rd time, I chased the guy down the street in my undies waving a Glock.

It sucks, I understand how violated you feel. Hopefully the insurance company will settle fairly, & not bend you over as well.

Good news on the 993, you have a lot of high end rare parts. We WILL know if they go up for sale!

Sorry to hear about this, it sounds like they had you targeted and an idea going in what they would take!

Man that sucks Maz. I really hope the authorities are able to track these down. I assume neither was lowjack'd.
Don't know about anyone else but on a couple of occasions I've felt uncomfortable driving in my neighborhood (maybe I'm a little paranoid). If this happens I've been known to drive past my house and then double back. I never leave the garage door open in case someone sees whats inside. Keys are always hidden inside the house. A lot of thieves are opportunists and I try to not give them a reason to single out my home or property.

Just when I was feeling all hopeful and energized about the New Year, and people turning their thoughts more toward optimism and gratefulness...sheesh. So, sorry.

Yup...

Sorry to read about your loss!! I hope you have a favorable outcome to all this. There could be a good chance that these cars are hidden in a shipping container at the port to be shipped abroad.

That's ridiculous. So sorry to hear this for you. The story kind of makes me wonder if it is an acquaintance? Who knows... good luck with resolving the situation, whatever the outcome.

Wow, so sorry. I also believe those cars are headed overseas.
