Unless it was hidden and he didnt tell them. Loose lips . . .

 

I contacted PCNA the next day and informed them of the details. They did not seem to care one bit. They told me to contact the local service manager which I did and didn't even get a call back from the service manager.

I just visited the car at the dealership. Again doesn't seem they care one bit after my first visit. Ignition shows no abuse. While I was there we used a key from another 911 and the keys turns in the ignition, but as expected the car does not start.

 

And this surprises you?

It's all about profit. So if they see that you're not adding to their bottom line, then they're not interested!

 

Contact Jalopnik and have them write a story on how a Porsche was stolen with a illegaly copied key and PCNA and the dealer, does not care. That will draw attention. Use the actual names of all the places, the dealer, its manager, and the body shop.

 

Did not surprise me one bit actually. I asked at the dealership "doesn't Porsche want to know how my car was started without my key" answer - "probably not".

 

You need to use my dealer in Hickory NC, you likely be treated much better...though I wills say they can be awful about returning phone calls. Oh wait that is 3000 miles away

 

What is the upside for the dealer to help you track down a thief on its payroll?

I don't think opening themselves up to potential liability for the theft of your car is part of their job description.

I'm not sure why PCNA would be able to provide any information for you, either. It's not like the dealer notifies corporate every time it codes a new key.

I think you just need to call the investigating officer and bounce some of these theories off of him or her. They caught at least one of the guys, right? It shouldn't be too hard to figure out how they started the car.

 

Agreed! PCNA has nothing to do with this. The OP and the Police should contact the dealer(s) in the area and find out key repro records and follow that thread.

 

BUT PCNA knows if a key was issued for this VIN# and from which dealer. They might have done it at a remote dealer, or out of state if they had someone working on the INSIDE.

Now, IF they're not cooperating, I BET a call or email from the detective will scare them off to cooperate more! I'd target both PCNA and local dealers.

 

Why would corporate know if a dealer made a new key for someone? Dealers aren't required to notify corporate when they make a new key.

 

At this point not one party cares how my car was stolen. I called PCNA twice and I cant even get past the phone operator. They refer me to the dealer. PCNA contacted my local dealer on my behalf.
No response. Dealer does not care one bit. Dealer confirmed my car was stolen using a key. I asked doesn't Porsche care how a key was made to steal my care. Answer "Probably not".

I pick the car up today, so I am hoping to have a conversation with the dealer, but I am not expecting much to come of this.

 

Can anyone describe the process by which a dealer normally "orders" a new copy of a lost key with the transponder (as opposed to copying an existing one). If the dealer or PCNA had a hand in providing the key that was ultimately used to steal your car, that might explain why they're being particularly uncooperative right now with your nosiness.
