Commony a thief will go for the easy steal, but not every thief will. Maybe they really wanted the G35, and wanted to challenge themselves, because it will be a bigger thrill/rush, who knows what they are thinking. They could'e just seen an opportunity and acted on it, without putting further thought into it.
As far as wondering how he knew the thief was drunk... Perhaps there were open containers found in the car, etc.
This forum is supposed to be a place where us fellow G35'ers can come together have fun/chat/comfort/ask questions/etc/etc. Not slam each other for attempting to commit insurance fraud based on pure speculation.
You guys make it sound like it's 100% impossible to steal/start a car with an immobilizer without the key. If that's the case, then all those vendors that sell remote starter kits will shortly go out of business.
Besides, I've heard of people leaving valet keys in the center console, glove box, etc.

However, some are still getting stolen, because:
1.) There exists dealers that fail to validate ownership.
2.) There could've been a crooked employee. For example, on the TV show, "It takes a thief", the burglar was able to get one of the employees to sell-out.
3.) etc, etc.
On a related note, this is precisely why I hate how on many cars you can use the key to arm/disarm the alarm. Even my Pontiac allows you to disable this, so you must use the fob to arm/disarm.... If using the key to manually unlock the door can disarm the alarm, than so can a screwdriver.
Why Infiniti can't do this, is beyond me. (If you can, I must've overlooked it, in which case ignore my rant )

there is no way in hell u can make a key with just a VIN...
if u bought ur G brand new. On ur spare key, there is a metal tag with a couple of numbrers... thats the ID tag for the CHIP.. which is not connected with anything the dealer has on the VIN...
and, do you really think the DEALER are that Stupid? To make someone a key, who just shows up a dealer with a paper on his hand conataining a VIN #?
haha. I would like to see the guys who claims you can with a VIN do it...
Prove me wrong. I bet they will ask for some IDs, Registration and all that.
In the end, they will just find out that they are grabbing the VIN theory out of their azz and just basically "read" about it online and took it as FACT.
=================
Back to the thread.. His dumb azz crashed his own car. And tried to scam his insurance company.. Cops fingerprinted the car, and only found his prints on the beer bottle and the steeringwheels, etc...
Cops also found a hand written letter in the car stating that the "theif" was sorry for stealing the car and crashing into a pole. It was signed by Mr. Bigs. To bad the pen the note was written in was still in the car.. And the finger prints on that pen matched the owner of the vehicle.
The owner is now in Jail for trying to scam the insurance company and waisting the cops time.
"He left the car unlocked because he lived in a nice neighborhood".
hahaha. good one.
