Stolen off my drive way in 9 seconds.

Interesting thought Kerry. I had a customer who went through the same thing after thieves stole their work computers. They did not want them they wanted the new ones which they got the second time.

Thieves. Hate them.
 
The knowledge this guy came into before stealing this vette smells of someone who has been planning this awhile. A keyfob bypass to ODB2/ECM is not a keep in your pocket device, requires a laptop and some equipment. Disabling the onstar portion requires some intimate knowledge of the car and to disable it within a short time requires knowing where and how the device is connected.

I'm suspecting he had a fob and was staking you out for an opportunity to swipe it.
 
Sadly I don't have a lot of images. I bought it on Jan 30 and it was sitting in my garage most of the time due to weather.

Wow, this is crazy and very sorry to hear about it. How long is the video? Maybe you can post it to a facebook site? I would consider posting it for you on my Youtube Channel, but I only have about 500 subscribers and my channel is mixed car content so I don't know how much coverage you would get?

Yes. I may do that. I need to get the right file size and file type sorted out.
 
Thanks for photo ...

Is that a Jake on the hood or just a reflection?
Interior Black?
Roof Black?
Any Exposed Carbon Fibre?
Was it customized/accessorized in any way?

If she comes to Alberta ... she will be noticed
"here kitty, kitty, kitty ..."
 
man that sucks! i will keep my eye open for it! Like others have said if they didn't have anything with them sounds like they had a key!

looks like a high end car stealership, sure makes me wonder if an insider had a duplicate fob .... my car lives in a garage with security and my fobs are kept in a metal container in the house when not in use
 
Hi Baron, your neighbor Paul showed
me his video of the creep that stole your car as he walked by his house. First of all was the car purchased at a dealer or private? If a dealer, I would go hang around and see if anyone that works there matches the description including the car jockeys. You know that the police will do nothing to look for it unless it falls in their lap. Good luck, I feel your sorrow.
 
Like to know who the dealer was, perhaps not involved in any way but you certainly have to wonder.

Hi guys,

Sorry I didn't reply earlier its been a busy week. I am very thankful to the good people on this forum, your support has been helpful. I am said to say that there is no need to keep a look out for the car, it was found on the side of the road all cut up, everything was removed. when the police came to the house saying they found it, I was so happy, then I spoke with them and they advised there was nothing left.

... any update on the car and or a claim ...
You are on my mind for getting back into a Corvette.

... realizing a week seems like a month already ...
I know this will take some time.

Yes They found it cut up on the side of the road. Insurance has been great, they were very helpful and good to deal with.
 
SO SORRY to hear about your car's sad end and thanks for telling us; now we know not to watch for it . Hopefully the police will track down the thieves (finger prints?) and hopefully your insurance monies will be sufficient to cover a nice replacement. Good luck on finding another!

Throughout this whole ordeal this was exactly what I was thinking. I really hope it wasn't the dealer. I had my car in the Garage the whole time. this one time I had just gotten home and left on my driveway think I might wash it. Went in the house for less that 2 minutes and the car was gone.

Wow small world... Paul is a great guy and glad he had his camera. The car was purchased at a dealer. The dealer has a good reputation and deals in high-end second hand cars.
 
This was a 2016 Z06 Z07 3LZ, it had less than 3500 KM on it. Its such a shame as it was basically a new car and lime you I loved it. It looks like the criminals who did this are either selling parts or building a car. They stripped everything, Steering, Seats, Trans, Lights, Dials, Engine etc...

Where would these guys sell the parts?

MAN! That sucks.....! Damn criminals.

Did you call ONSTAR to track the vehicle, and shut it down?
That is how they got my neighbour’s Cadillac back.

sorry.

graham

EDIT: Thinking outloud....I wonder if GM has a record of another key/fob request for that car?

If the prior owner had the ONSTAR activated when he owned it he may have had them unlock the car. ?

They disabled onstar within 10 minutes. I tried to call GM to see if they can tell me is there was any additional FOBs made but for some reason they said they do not have that information which is B.S. So the Police will be asking.
