oh man what an emotional rollercoaster ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
my 914 was recovered, i'll post more details as they emerge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) it appears there's only minor damage, the drivers side door lock was "punched" and the steering column is trashed, but there's no other visual damage to the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hands.gif) the police has a vague discription of the thieves from an eyewitness, but that's about all at this point. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) apparently the car was dumped on the side of the road in oakland. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) i think i need a beer ...

I wonder what made the car so attractive in the first place?
If it was something like the engine, how would they know it was there? Maybe they cruise this site looking for opportunities. |

Although it's possible that Andy got the car back due to the thiefs fearing a tracking system, people shouldn't just jump on the Lo-Jack band wagon due to it's having a couple serious "issues"!!!! Both are based on the fact that the actual tracking is done by the police.
The first issue is that you have to go to a police station to file a report before they will do anything. You can't call it in!! If your car is stolen, how do you get to the nearest police station and also there is the question where they are located. That amount of time allows the thief to get that much farther away. The other issue is that it's up to the police to activate the system and then look for it. Now unless you know a cop (or are one), you may just not be a big priority!! They are under no obligation to jump on it. Wes |
