Default Since y'all are already gossiping about it...My Corvette was stolen last night.

I have no idea how they did it. Our key fobs are always stored in Faraday cases.

Car was parked in driveway, not garage. I'm driving it daily now.

Went outside this morning to drive to work and it was gone and the glass from window (presumably drive's door) was on the driveway.

For those not aware Canada is turning into a shithole country where car thieves are released on bail within hours, if they are even caught (most aren't).

Police do not even investigate. They just take the information over the phone, log the information and go about their day.

Insurance adjuster said they will wait 20 days to see if it is recovered (very unlikely) and if so they will have it inspected and repaired as needed, otherwise after 20 days I will be paid market value for it.

Sad to hear, I say you ignore the police efforts, go out on the streets and start whooping arse until someone caves.

Dam man sorry to hear that.

With that said if your car is found after they get done with it its probably better to get a big check, get a new one.

Sorry to hear that, Flex. I had read an article a few weeks ago where police were recommending people leave their keys in their cars so that the thieves didn't break into their houses.

Subbing for end results. Sucks OP...damn sorry for you. I wouldn't wish that on any fellow corvette owner, regardless of the back and forth on this place.

That sucks. Fucking termites ought to be exterminated. It's not just Canada. The whole world is upside down and it's Jungle Law now, due to Great Re-Set for Socialism.
Trust me, you don't want it back. It's not a Camry.

Sorry to hear this.

I imagine the criminals who stole the car don’t even realize how nice those black chrome wheels are.

it'll probably show up on an instagram video doing cookies until it hits pedestrians.


that sucks flex.
I got my Forgelines put on last week.
Shit like this is why I am glad to live in a rural area.
Not that it can't happen, but much less likely.
