Did you see the pics on the original site page? Two of car going in/coming out. Two more of the alleged perp. Nice full face shots. Hope they catch him and give him a nice long vacation in a max security hell hole.

The comment section below the article is pretty funny!

Hope you get this behind you ASAP and are into a new car quickly. What a crappy thing to happen.

Agreed, hope they find him ASAP and burn him!

That's interesting. Doesn't look like the possible perm is carrying anything of substance to hack into the car's alarm and immobilzer system.

That woulld be really freaking seeing pictures of your stolen car being driven away on security tapes.

1 minute and 46 sec from being in the elevator on the 3rd floor to jacking the car on the 4th floor and exiting the parking garage 4 floors below. Couldn't have been that hard to steal.

Greg, do you look anything like this schmoe^.....makes you wonder why the LEO's were busting your nuts so much.

No doubt if they have these pics, they have tracked his movement throughout the hotel, wonder what story
they tell??

So, somebody with the criminal ability to steal a modern Porsche in seconds without a key is going to walk right in front of multiple security cameras?

I would imagine that the casino's denial of your viewing the video tapes would end immediately when your attorney asks for a copy. Also, as this is a public forum, you have some leverage by providing us with the name and address of the casino where this happened. As a group, we could have a small impact upon their popularity... :-) You should let them know of your intention of posting the name of the casino instead of just "a major casino." The publicity would be great. Best of luck with getting this resolved in your favor.

I had my first 911 vandalized years ago by a bunch of brainless guys,--who were later caught and wound up paying everything back to me and the insurance company. A thorough investigation is in order. Again, pay for an attorney so that you will get some respect from the authorities. It's doubtful that they will treat an attorney like they have you.

Hi Mobonic,

Thanks for sharing that. It gave me some small piece of mind to know a small fragment more of what happened to my baby and opened new questions at the same time.

It is frustrating that I have to wait for them to publish these sorts of photos on the Internet if I want to learn what happened to the car. It was shocking to see these pixs.. Truly shocking.

At least we all know for sure that it was NOT flat bedded out of the hotel. This fact boggles my mind.

Given the time stamps, I cant imagine that they have posted the pictures of the correct guy. He would have had to steal it in almost no time at all.

From the red rock casino pix at 3:29:19 am - he is in the elevator and at 3:31:05 he is already driving out. It would take about 10 seconds to drive from where it was parked to where it was pictured (he seems to be driving fast based on the blur.) It would also take at least about 10 seconds to even walk to the car. This leaves roughly 90 seconds to steal the car? how could that be?.. . The only thing connecting him is that the driver seems to be wearing a white shirt.

He also didnt seem to be carrying any tools to steal the car.

Also, the way the car was torched, it was pros. They would have known how to get up the garage without being filmed. This leads me to believe that this guy isnt it. However, if it is him, he wired the car in roughly 90 seconds. A car that supposedly is impossible to steal due to its electronics. Wild.

Your car isnt safe anywhere if this can happen in 90 seconds.

I do not

It was at the red rock casino. The people in the news story posted that fact instantly as they recognized the garage entrance.. (Which I also find crazy)

crispenigl

That is an outstanding point and coupled with the 90 seconds of time to get the car going makes it hard for me to believe it was him.

If it WAS him though, no porsche is safe.
