Sorry MrWhite. Was it locked with the factory Alarm on? Not that it makes a difference, but I'm just curious.

It was locked, and in a key access only garage. It had factory alarm/immobilizer and I know it worked.

How in the world did they drive it???? Somebody at the dealership has some explaining to do then. The only way that I know of to drive away is with a key that has been cut AND coded to your car.

Sorry to hear about this,

Kinda reminds me of the thread on the stolen Yellow 997 GT3 in Vegas. Dude drove off in it (was left locked and owner had the only key) and there was good speculation on how it was done but I don't think anyone ever stated the actual method used to start the car.

Hey all, it seems there are way to get around our alarms etc...

Pls keep looking, the police are getting closer and are greatly helped if we keep forcing the thieves to sit on the parts from the car (if we = the community block the thieves from trying to sell anything).

Thanks soo much for your continued support!!

I can't believe that this happened. What is the matter with people. I will keep my eyes open and let you know if I see anything.

Hey all, it seems the swine who stole my car may have started to part out, either just the mods or also rest of the car. More than likely if they started stripping the car will be totally stripped so look also for interior etc.



Some parts have turned up that fit what I had all too well.



Keep eyes open!



GMG cage

KW coilovers w blue swift springs

Rotec seats, alcantara/leather with silver stichting

Schroth belts

Eibach Racing swaybars

Custom exhaust (Afterhours with small cans and race cats)

GT2 intercoolers (have sharipe text on them saying a 996 part number)

GT2 wheels w or w/out Hankook rubber.



A whole car with fishy story, or OE parts with fishy story.

Black interior with silver accents/center console.

Bose subwoofer. PCM1 headunit.
