Rob do you have children? Have they ever done stupid stuff you dont have a clue why they did it?
My son discharged my fire extinguisher in the back yard. For NO reason. Both the kids (both boys)
played hockey in the living room with baseball bats and took out my 60 gallon saltwater reef tank.
Why?

Sorry, my brother's brand new z28 was stolen out of our driveway years ago, sucks.
You need a lawyer stat!
These cars can be stolen, car thieves are a lot more creative than you think. There have been several 07-09 porsche's stolen in the NYC are this yr alone. The cops are just trying to flush out an easy answer to their case. No lie detector, to talky without atty.

We could start installing the James Bond self detonating car protection device that he utilized when the bad guys tried to jack with his car?! You know...the one that just blows the car up into a fireball!!

Up until recently I was in Vegas since '96 and spent part of that time working hotel security. Never heard of anything like this happening.
Especially to a car that stands out so much and requires specialized tools to steal
Even for criminals their work is based on risk / reward. Doesn’t make too much sense why they would go through all the trouble of stealing it only to burn it. There is no payoff in that for a thief and a ton of risk.
I will stay tuned to see how this all unfolds

Still waiting for any video evidence.

I guess it could result in a lot of false positives.

i do, you know in HS, since i am ugly, i got to have other skills to impress the girls. i dont want to goto prom alone.
the pager is beep immediately. but it only takes my crew about 30 seconds to pull out DIN units. the skilled workers take about 12 seconds to get the unit out.
security systems are for "gentlemen" thieves.

30 months left on lease, 58K residual with Porsche Financial, 10K per year.
Email or PM with details if anyone's interested - easiest way to a GT3 these days on a budget, per this discussion, is to assume the lease.
it's not speed yellow, but hey .2 the launch car is Guards!!

This is a horrible story, please let us know how it turns out...
Stories like this make you really realize that fact that most cops are pieces of $hit. I'm so sorry your having to deal with those kind of people along with a stolen car.

I've been following this thread and I feel your pain but I'll play devil's advocate here for a second. I used to work for an insurance company in the fraud department and I understand how they work. The business of insurance is only good when you're paying premiums, when it comes time to claim damages/loss thats a whole different story.
The car can be stolen as the previous post/article but what's puzzling is that why go to the trouble of torching it. If this car was indeed stolen, I'm sure kids are not involved, mostly syndicates specializing in euro exoticsand shipping it overseas ala "gone in 60 seconds" There's no way a thief will strip a car like this and sell it for parts like a Honda or Toyota.
Also, I noticed the OP mentioned he's been car shopping. I would refrain from posting in a public forum like this one about shopping for a new GT3 even though the claim is not settled yet and being investigated by law enforcement , to an investigator this doesn't look good.
This is just my opinion and you need excellent legal representation to battle your insurance company. With this bad economy, the last thing they want is to pay up.
Good luck..
