Glad it's back.
Tip or manual? May want to get the DME read (if manual) and look for over-revs. Might be engine damage, and you could make an insurance claim with the DME readout. Good luck.

Didn't catch the thieves. I wish they did. I was going to fill up after going to the gym so I knew the tank was almost empty that's why the car was out of gas. I am going to have the car inspected but it is driving fine.

Great news. Who would have thought that an near empty gas tank would be the savior of your car? Great outcome.

I guess the stock gas gauge can act as a theft deterrent, it reads full but is actually just about empty. I need to get mine adjusted as its off about an eighth to a quarter tank.
Glad you found your car.

sounds like for once the standing parasitic batter draw may have served a purpose in that when the battery died even if they got a gas can & some courage to go drive it they could not start it due to the dead cell....
glad you got it back, and that it seemed to be covered the whole time it was gone.

had not considered that. maybe the fact there was no insurance claim it might not be reported as a loss?? the police report ain't going away though I guess..

You got lucky...congrats. I hope the thieves are found...and are run over by a truck.
