Probably what he (perp.) lied about is that he got a key from the parking Valets at the hotel. Not that there was a 3rd (valet) key.

Thanks. I was concerned that there was a key out there that I didn't know about.

I don't know about the GT3, but for regular Carrera, Porsche stopped issuing the valet key (small plastic key) for 2008 models. I am not even sure I had for for my 2007, but definitely my 2008 did not come with a valet key.

Correct for MY08, no valet key for Regular Carreras as well as GT2

All MY07 cars had one

For GT3 MY08 production who has a valet key or were they discontinued?

Are valet keys cut/made/programmed at the discretion of the selling dealership? Seems like some people have valets and some do not...

I'd think the two main keys are always provided by the factory when the car is shipped to the states... is the reality any different?

MY08 GT3: NO valet key. Also, what is the plastic key people are referring to here? Is this the valet key? In the Owner's Manual, there is a plastic key listed, but I did not get one when I took delivery.

The suspects name has been publicly released.

He lied about the Valet key so he can keep his methods secret? The Police should try to figure out EXACTLY what he did so its not repeated or he doesnt do it when he gets out again or sells the technology.

They should waterboard the guy until he gives up his method for stealing Porsches.
