Stolen! (Updated)
Yeah I'm 99.999% sure it's long gone now. I had Scott Siethalil and Tim Bradley helping me out that day. Scott used to work auto theft, so he knew some ins and outs, but we couldn't prove anything. I appreciate the effort though. How's your car holding up?
Thanks guys. Yeah I've heard you have been slightly demodding lol. A/C is great, that's for sure. I had finally put it in the Z in June and never looked back. I just bought a 240, and it's crazy how used to the shitty gas mileage I was in the Camaro. I'd still take that over the pig-slow 240, but that will change soon, if you know what I mean...

^ this, listen if they want it,they will get it, you would be shocked on how smart these guys are, i would be checking cls to see if any of your parts come up, for what ls motors and 6 speeds are going for i can see all the theft, sorry to hear about it though
In response to the tow truck hook-up, what is everyone's thoughts on putting a line-lock in, simply to have a lock on all 4 wheels when parked?
Add a hidden kill switch, added to a hidden linelock button, and I would think you have the set-up for good prevention.

It's a great idea in theory, but the same people stole a Grand National the weekend after mine was taken. They dragged it out of the parking spot just to put it onto a flatbed. What that boils down to is that the winches are powerful enough to negate the brakes, as unfortunate as that is. I just back my new car into parking spots to try to prevent it happening, but they'll take it if they want it.

Basically, from what I can infer, they back up a U-Haul/flatbed to the rear of your car at night time and drive it to south-side Montgomery around the Narrow Lane road area, then strip it down for the motor to put in their donks. I will say that the cops are onto them and that they only have to slip up once to get their asses busted. Any sort of evidence found now will easily convict them of all the stolen LS1's in the Montgomery area.

that sucks man, one thing i canot stand are people that steal, its just not right honest i had someone that lived down the street from me tell me there was a group of guy checking my car out and told me to keep it in the garage , i was kinda worried about it but those guys will get it when i least expect it lol
Some guys have been covering up their vin #s too. Getting the VIN and making copies of the keys is the main theory behind the GNs stolen this year at their annual meeting (Bowling Green, I believe it was).
I will NEVER bring my car to the New Orleans area....tons of reported thefts there.

Louisiana is the car theft ring capital of the Eastern part of the United States rivaling only LA in the entire country... must be some corruption there, because everyone knows this: but nothing is done about it

If they keep it up, Vigilante rule will take over. I'm amazed it hasn't already. The one that was stolen near ATL is too close for comfort. If someone decides to try and steal mine, they better hope they can outrun whatever the first gun I get to is. The only Judge they will see is the one made by Taurus. Sorry for everyone that has already had a loss.
