You are too kind. I would have let them at least chop one of his hands off. Then I'd be fairly confident he wouldn't be back to steal my car again.
But on the other hand (pardon the pun) he might get a Slim-Jim for a prosthesis and really go into the business of boosting cars!

ROFL. I wake up and first thing I hear is this... I need to stop checking CL when I wake up... HAHAHAHA

And in NY, you'd never see your car again, you will see it in pieces on craigslist, ebay and on about 10 other cars...

wow! hahaha thats pretty funny and you are a very lucky man. haha ive never heard of anything like this. the closest thing to this that i can relate to was when me and my friend were playing golf and we teed off and found out we hit into other players. but when we got down to our golf *****, they were teed up on golf tees. haha good luck with the rest of the case

How did they steal your car? Short of rollinin w/ a flat bed or stealing your keys, I was under the impressinn that GS had transponders. Can you hotwire a GS?

When my mothers car got stolen a few years ago it came back with a trunk full of brand new snap-on tools... she took the tools back to the cops though... they were most likely stolen too... but I know all that happened is there some cop out there with a nice set of tools...
