Default ALERT! Stolen TrailBlazer SS

Hey guys, although its no longer my vehicle the TBSS i had not even a month ago was stolen from the couple i sold it to.
Stolen from the 610 & 45 south area. who knows where it is now.

Although its a common color combo the hood stripes are one of a kind custom painted. please keep an eye out.

Im not sure how this will affect me since apparently my name is still on the title, although its no longer mine im a little sickened by the news. i put alot of time into the car.

Does anybody have any advice? thanks

Can they track it with onstar? Or what is the whole purpose of it or do they disconnect it or does it have to activated? I've often wondered that because I've seen a few pick up and Tbss get stolen in the last year or so.

the weird part is it had a viper alarm system. it was super sensitive, and the remote would go off even if it was far away from the car.

on several occasions i had the remote wake me up because a cat kept jumping onto the hood. lol i would see paw prints all over it in the morning

A truck that nice, I would hope they weren't dumb enough not to have full coverage.

I have an 08 TBSS I heard that thieves like to steal them due to the ease of deactivating the onstar with the fuse.. Use a kill switch instead of an alarm.. If ****** thieves want something they are gonna get it .. Just make it harder for them so maybe just maybe you can catch them yourself.

Kill Switches are best. Saw this video the other day:


They actually went into the fenderwell and cut the horn wires, so even if they did set the alarm off, it wouldn't matter.

If you still have their info go online and fill out the form that you are no longer the owner. Next time you sell a car go to the local tax office and fill out their forms and have it out of your name right then and there. Also take the plates.

Good lord that videos sickening watching ghetto *** trash get away with that car. I see exactly how they did it to get around the pass lock. Factory alarms a joke but a well thought out aftermarket alarm and hidden kill switch would have kept that car at it's home unless they had a tow truck.

If the title isn't in their names, isn't that going to be pretty messy with the insurance? How will the insurance company know who to pay?

I see the horn won't work, but how did he turn the alarm off that fast once he opened the door? Wow

I had ablack 92 mustang coupe stolen out of my driveway 3 weeks after I bought it. I didnt have any coverage on it yet. The way my insurance company handled a newly purchased car is that the new car assumes the highest coverage on your current policy. The window for this was 30 days, I was just inside that window and they fully covered the car even though I never paid one cent for coverage on it. The car was still in the previous owners name.

Wouldn't surprise me that the same guys who installed the alarm were the same ones who stole it.....just a thought.
