Damn dude that really sux big time. Was there broken glass on the floor? They had a group down here that was copying VIN numbers off the dash and getting keys. They were stealing alot of cars. They must of had a hook up at the dealership. Good luck forFull coverage right?

Are you sure it wasn't towed away for illegal parking?

The only time I heard of it being stolen was when this lady (in Hawaii) left the car running when dropping off something in Waikiki. You guessed it....some dude jumped in the car and took off (ran over the owners foot while trying to stop him). Anyways...this dude T-boned another car....totaled the GS.

Good luck bro....hope you find it.

well see i guess i was living in a dillusional world, because i was under the impression that you couldn't start the car without the key. now towing is completley diffrent, but can a lex be stolen using a screw driver or pick (something to jimmy the Ignition)? If thats the case, then im definatley getting Lo-Jack.

no our luxus's can't b taken like the honda's and acura's of the world can with a screw driver but it can b towed away by a thief who has a tow truck , works 4 a tow trucking company or knows someone who does and pays them... it happens all the time...the higher end cars r taken mostly that way now adays...

Either way...that sucks major *** that some one took your car. Regardless if it was towed or Stolen. Hope to hear you either get it back or out of the impound lot. Hopefully the latter.
