Long story short, Parked my 2003 911 Cab in the driveway last Saturday night and some lowlifes cut the top used the garage remote to get into the house. Stole the keys and my 911 and a few other items. The police found it Sunday afternoon stripped a few miles away.

Good news is I'm 911 shopping again. looking at 2007 Cabs now.

 

Glad to hear everything worked out in the end (aka you got your car and no one was hurt). Perhaps think about locking the remote in the glove box or taking it in with you in the future.

 

Awful! I hate when that happens

Glad to hear the car is "totaled." If they steal mine I'm not going to report it for a few days just to make sure I never see it again after they ream the heck out of it.

 

Good thing it was only a 996.

 

I understand the 997 cabs are substantially stiffer with less creaks and groans than the 996 cabs.

 

 

And THAT, my friends, is why I want the hardtop option if I purchase a cabriolet... not that I anticipate parking mine outside, but...

So sorry to hear that, bro. Onwards and UPWARDS!

 

Love the hardtop option. Use it frequently. Also, the 997 uses a built in garage opener that requires auto power to activate.

 

Well, thats not everything working out. If things had really worked out for the best, the thieves would have run the car into a bridge or concrete wall injuring no one but maiming themselves for life in the process, maybe with a Porsche crest embossed on their foreheads.

 

That's not good. Hopefully insurance will pay out what you need to make it a nice transition to your new 997.
