Saw your post on the 6 - totally sucks. I called a local wrapper after I saw how great your car turned out. Good luck with recovery and/or insurance co.!

Come on guys, let's get the word out on this one... Carl's got a lot of time, development and money involved in this one... WHITE OR SILVER... Keep your eyes open for that GT2 wing... It's a dead giveaway...

Again, this totally blows.

I would be very surprised if it wasn't on a container bound for parts unknown by 5:00 am sunday morning. If they drove it out, it wasn't a random theft, the vehicle must have been targeted by some pros.

The sweat equity's gone forever, I just hope you get all your $$$ back from the ins co.

Friend had his Turbo stolen from his garage. Never ever found a trace of it, all CF bodywork etc.
Police suspect it is in Russia.

almost without question this car is heading overseas, or may already be there.

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.

May the $#@$! who stole your car rot in you-know where!
This is an eye opener for us all that we cant be too careful. I have a steering wheel lock bar that I dont use as often as I should when I park the car on my journies. Gonna start using it regularly now.
Best of luck on this.

I am already pretty paranoid about mine, it is kept in the garage underneath the house, the house has an alarm with a sensor in the garage, the key to get from the house to the garage and the key for the car are both kept in the safe when not being used. Other than burying the car or living in it I can't do much more.
