That sux bud. Years ago I had a 67 Vette vert as a daily driver. Came out from work and it was gone. Just some glass in the spot where it was parked. I was lucky though and the cops found it a day later. Only this missing was one wheel. They didnt even take the hardtop. The towing company did the worst damage by cracking out the rear body from towing it improperly. Good news was the insurance more than paid for what was done.

Sorry to hear that. It’s probably already in a container bound for some country in Africa or Asia. Hopefully your insurance does right by you

Probably here as well, but I wouldn’t. Now if they came into the garage or house, or breaking into one of the cars, I’d confront them with my Ed Brown Special Forces 1911.

Not sure how we got from stealing an expensive car to stealing wipers.

Why are the police up there not really interested in investigating/prosecuting auto theft? Telling people to leave the keys in their vehicles to avoid confrontation doesn’t bode well for a civilized society like Canada. Are the police under-funded? Are they busy with more serious crimes? Do they view auto theft as a means to a more just and equitable society? Who made the call not to pursue these crimes?

The political winds, which affects most of law enforcement, are blowing the other way.

The law is being used as a weapon against anyone or any group that opposes the left's agenda to destroy Western civilization -- and its Judeo-Christian foundation. They WANT street crime, violence, mayhem, riots, fear, a defenseless and subdued citizenry, etc.

"All laws are not just, nor is justice necessarily legal." -- USMC Col. Jeff Cooper (1920-2006)

You didn’t have OnStar activated ??

Sorry to hear Flex, sucks to have some scumbag steal what YOU worked hard for.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As far as the OnStar comments, any decent thief will pull that fuse as soon as possible.

Perhaps OnStar could be rewired with an inline fuse that's not obvious.

Aw jeez - sorry to hear - I really liked that car of yours esp w the new wheels.

We left Minneapolis area 2 years ago - getting that way also there. We are in nice safe North Dakota now where our cops shoot bad guys.

I thought about that, but I'd be willing to gamble, what, $ 50 or less to call and activate Onstar for a month, just to see if they could track the car.

I'm gonna guess they scanned your signal during use when you were getting gas, coming/going from work work or even while they were sitting outside your home.
They're pretty advanced these days with tech crap.
