Thanks for the insight. So, clearly, based upon timing, it was at least a two-man operation. One guy to pick the lock and do that portion of the operation, and then just a getaway driver, to move the car to the desert.
And then the final question. What was the reason someone would team up with another thief, open up a GT3, and drive it a few miles away, and then simply set fire to it? (vice taking it to a disassembly location and part it out).

car had no gas in it.
thief has previous ARSON issues.
if you're trying to steal a car, you don't really take time to grab a gatorade and fill it up at the pump. SECURITY CAMERAS! HELLO.
it was probably plan B or C to torch the car. plan A was probably to drive it the hell away to a chop shop or train yard (shipping container to russia) something like that.

:lol: It's hilarious really!
It depends on the way you do it, theres readily availble firmware dumps for several porsche models, which all you'd have to do is purchase a used ecu, unsolder the nand chips and manually flash it via a willems programmer and ta-da you have a ecu which is basically the same engine map w/o the immobilizer.
An easier way would be if you already had a porsche to play with, and use a tool like vag + the OBD2 cables which can be purchased quite cheaply online. Flash a new firmware onto the ECU and bam. Security disabeled.
(really it's universal as all chips used in the cars across the

i dont know why this thread got so long
who cares who and why the car is burnt up.
as long as it's not my car, i dont really give a fk.
there are many ways to steal the car. and trust me, it's not all that difficult to crash a white house party so how hard could it possibly be to drive a GT3 away.
you know there are numbers of nuclear warhead in the world that just sort of DISAPPEAR into thin air. if those things can be stolen, a car is a walk in the park, gents.
so i usually leave my cars unlocked in east oakland, east palo alto (for east coasters, that's like harlem). if stolen, great, then i get to buy a new car.
would someone pls steal my latest GT3.
it's usually parked at mc arthur bart station and there is only ONE GT3 there. you can't miss it.

How funny, a guy buys a torched car and then he ask himself what to do with it. He must of gotten it really cheap to ask himself the questions after the purchase.
