So my car got stolen last night

actaully if you have a remote satrter it could be a lot easier to steal the car, since the valey key is placed somewhere in the car, all they need is a copy of the key or just hot wire it to steal your car. I'm not sure how far they would be able to go since the valet key is suppose to cut off the ignition after a certain amount of time. But then again my 00 eclipse had the same thing and i grabbed the valey key by mistake and my car never turned off on me when i drove around town for a while

And yes, he said they found the car but hasn’t posted any info about the vehicle's condition... last he said he was going to look at it last Wed... nothing since then that I know of.

nope - this is my first post regarding this thread - i pm'd you a few days ago about your GREY GHOST! - yea, the VIN thing - i think the only reason it's not EXPLOITED is because G owners are a different " class / brand" of people. ( ie. high schoolers / wanna be racers / thugs) * please don't take offense to this - anyone reading this - this is just my observation / past experiences - especially living in SAN DIEGO * *
please don't judge me from my past - but this is how it works:
you have a friend that works @ INFINITY / NISSAN - with the VIN, a master can be made. depends on the person/people, they'll either sell you the key and/or give it to you ( trade KEY for PARTS - ie, rims,interior,suspension..basically anything of worth )
...i don't mean to beat a dead horse, but this was how it was done w/ HONDAS--> but like i said, it seems to me that G owners aren't in the same class ( owner's themselves )anyone w/ a honda would tell you the same ( whether theyve been the victim or the guilty party )...sad but true.
anyways - STILLEN is coming up - hope to meet you there - james.

it's unbelievable that someone would risk grand theft auto to make a few bucks or get some parts... If the practice is so common and so well known, I wonder why there aren't law enforcement stings set up to catch the dealer locations that would do it?
Anyway, I look forward to seeing you at Stillen!

stolen
One thing I would do on most of my car to stop it from being stolen is ....
NO FUEL NO GO !!!!!!!( unless they tow it )
Install a switch to cut off the fuel supply and hide it in a safe place.
You could go to the fuse boxe and slice it from there.
It works because they did try to steal my 02 Accord awhile back. my.02cent.

It still won't defeat a flatbed, which is how they got my 96 Impala SS.
The Benz has Lojack.
