Hey guys. Anyone else from the Slidell, LA area? I have a '98 A4 Z28 B4C, but I HAD a '98 M6 SS until some ***hole decided to steal it 3 weeks ago. {Not happy about that}. Secure your stuff, guys! Anyway, glad to be here!

Welcome to LS1Tech, and welcome to the club of south LA F-body owners who ' ve had their cars stolen. You are merely one of many, just be sure to cover your VIN so it doesn' t happen again. I' m not saying mine was stolen, but quite a few people in the area have lost their cars.

hey Billy yeah cover that vin alot of f bodys are comming up missing and someone tried to get mine a few weeks ago while it was in my driveway about 4 am some think that they get your vin# and then get someone they know at a dealership to cut a set of keys then come back and "poof" it's gone. the factory alarm has a 3 to 5 sec delay when the doors are opened plenty of time for them to disconect the alarm under the pass side dash thats how i found my car the next morning, the only thing that saved my car is my neighbor heard somthing and turned on his porch light.and a week or so before that hapend he saw a guy get out of his car at about 3am and go looking through my windshield for a min. or so then get in his car and leave??????? watch that car dude too many have been coming up stolen.
