Gt2 aero and gt2 wheels on 02 twin turbo, silver w white wrap.

Someone has stolen the car, only about a week after I won with it in Las Vegas (between 2.30am and 3.30am Monday morning, May 3rd, to be more exact). Like posted on every Porsche, racing and tuner board and called out through the community, contact Redondo Beach PD if you see or hear anything unusual popping up on the market or rumours through the grapevine, and keep up sending me links to ads for similar cars and parts. Thanks sooo much for all your help, the response is really amazing.

Car thieves...


Wow, that sucks. I hope they find it intact and unharmed.

However, the skeptic that I am says that it's already either in a container being loaded on a freighter, or is disassembled. They don't have to sell off all of it, just the stuff that's easy.

That sucks! I hope you find the car and use it to run over the thieves.

My experience has been that it's usually someone close to you (unfortunately) that is the thief. But you probably already know that...

Good luck in finding it, because stuff like this is heartbreaking.

Was it just the car or car in a trailer? If it is was in the trailer then it is probably in an industrial park somewhere in San Diego like Ted's 356 was a year or two ago and a deputy in Spring Valley found it since someone had painted over the trailer graphics with house paint and they showed through. I would contact the various law enforcement folks as well as the border people in case it tries to go south although it would stick out like a sore thumb down there!

Car was stolen out of the guys parking spot at a condo complex. Problem is it was seen driven out and he has all three keys for the car??????
So did a shop or service place make a copy and code the fob?????

Car cant be started without code even if you have the key.

PCNA say 90% are towed away for this reason.

Even if you could Hotwire it NO code no start. So was it Euro style where thay bring out a ECU and a key?????

We may never know but I wont to know, I already had a car stolen at gunpoint so not ever looking to have one stolen again.

Whoa, stolen at gunpoint? That'd be a bit unnerving.

"We may never know but I wont to know, I already had a car stolen at gunpoint so not ever looking to have one stolen again"....for those that like to do this at gun point .. should be in front of a moving train.
