Must be a C6. Same thing happened to someone I know, who shall remain nameless. (not me, I swear)

Why didn't the car owner get his gun and show the dumb car thief what stealing does to his health?

I don't think the Canadian government allows its citizens to have guns anymore. It feels they can't be trusted.

Now that's just wrong!

Our Sheriff's department would show and make sure everyone had enough ammo.

We are allowed, but a c&c is almost impossible to get!
Surprised this happened in his driveway though...

Can't be. C6's have an emergency door release handle on the inside by your left foot.

well how would the car thief know this? it had to have been a c6 cause you can open the doors if they are unlocked on a c5 with a dead battery

Must have been a hard top. If it had been a coupe you could just pop the top off and get out. I bet not all thieves know most Corvette's tops come off.

because then he'd have bullet holes in his nice car. Now i would have gotten one to keep the guy from taking his hatchet and screwdriver to my car, but thats me.
