From what I understand, the cops don't really care, at least that was the case in Baton Rouge. I hope it works out, but the best I can offer is to find as many reciepts/pics of the parts and hope you get a good settlement.

With all yor mods I would take a look at ebay, and see if you can find some of your stuff.
May be you'll get lucky. Sorry about your loss.

Sorry about your loss.

Just goes to show you can't have anything nice anymore. Nobody respects anyone else's property. I've had one person open their door into my SS, and two back into it. I had half a mind to sell it and get a beater to start returning the favors.

Thanks for all the support guys. I would have had it in the garage but we dont have any room bc my dad's 46' Chevy is in it. I plan on checking ebay for the next couple of months to see if i can find any parts. I hope they all burn in hell. Im so fricken depressed.

I've lived in baton rouge and I live in Lafayette, I know they have stolen stuff before but they are cutting keys around here....
Pays to put a piece of paper or a card over your vin. Not fool proof, but yeah I don't see how anyone can be a professional car thief in Louisiana, the cars have to be going out of state because there isn't a damn place to hide something like that around here.

I was mugged twice after Katrina, people trying to get my car. Luckily for me, I carry....

The only other thing I can think of is for us to get super sensitive alarms. I know I have my shock sensor set that way, and it works pretty good.

What about LO JACK ???? My ol' lady has it on her car and they alert her when the car gets moved. After watching those videos I'm gonna figure out what kind of alarm will help the most...Sorry about your loss bro, but if I was you i'd start pounding the streets tryin to find someone who knows something...good luck

Wow man that really sucks, sorry for your loss. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost my LE.

Luckily I have a space in the garage for it.

It wasn't started nor did the alarm go off. Im thinking professionals. The cop said they are extremely hot around here and its probably on its way to a chop shop. I had so much into that car and it was my first camaro. Im goin back to college today and im sooo bummed and even more im sooo pissed. If they dont find it i dont know if im going to get another LE or if im just going to get a beater until the new camaros come out and put the insurance money for a down payment.
First off sorry for that **** it really sucks, However your worst day is the day you are put into a box anyhow, hope you find it and if you do or for your new ride consider this Trackstick

Good Luck

Are you sure that would work? I think it saves the information in the stick, I don't think it sends the information to your computer. I could be wrong, I briefly read over the description.

I talked to state farm and if I get a quote on my car from several reputable dealers saying how much its worth they could reimburse me for the full value. Since I don't have receipts for everything before I bought it, its the only way. I have to send them pictures too.

Watch the all of the youtube video, it's kind of stupid at first. I guarantee this is how they're doing it. All I can say is back in when you can, and pay attention because as you can see they can still drag the car out from the front and grab it from the back, but it allows more time for you to catch them.
thats crazy how fast they can hook em up and take off. they even picked up and pulled one sideways so they could get to it to hook onto the front.
