Re: STOLEN CORVETTES??? NEED HELP!!! (Gearhead Jim)
We've got lots of answers to the "technology" part of the original question, but no one has commented on how C5's are actually being stolen. The two or three stories I have heard where the owner knew what happened, involved a flatbed. Does anyone know the actual statistics?
Also, does anyone have statistics on what PERCENTAGE of different cars are being stolen. The newspapers continually shout about the Toyota Camry being stolen frequently- DUHHH!!!! . That's because there's a zillion of them out there.
Jim, another reason Camry's are #1 is that the older ones are very easy to steal. They shave down a Toyota key and it will open and start most of them. I will check with our Crime Analysis person tomorrow and see if she knows the numbers and how they are being stolen. :)
Re: STOLEN CORVETTES??? NEED HELP!!! (Powerhungry)
Take a look at http://WWW.NICB.org National Insurance Crime Bureau, lists top 10 by major cities.
The top len gets stolen because of the need for parts for that car. More cars, more crashes, more pieces needed. Yes there still is a market for those parts.
GUY'S, Listen i live in san diego ca 20 min from mexico and i have a friend who owns an excursion that has lo jac and that truck is cruising below the border untouched by sdpd. THEY KNOW WHERE IT IS BUT THEY CAN'T GET IT. SO HERE IS A SYSTEM THAT I OWN 5 OF THEM ON MY C5,ESCALADE,GRAND CHEROKEE, CAMRY,AND ACCORD (IS THAT A STEAL LIST OR WHAT)? iT IS THE CLIFFORD BLACJAC ANTI CAR JAC SYSTEM AND IT WILL WORK AS STAND ALONE ON A C5 OR WITH FAC ALARM . START CAR PUT IN CODE BEFORE REACHING 1500 RPM OR STEPPING ON THE BRAKES OR THE CAR DIES ,NO FUEL NO IGNITION SIRENS AND THE FOB DOES NOT WORK ONLY NYOUR CODE AND YOUR KEY. ALSO IF YOUR DRIVING AND SOME ONE FORCES YOU OUT JUST LET EM HAVE THE CAR CAUSE AFTER THE DOOR IS OPENED THEY HAVE 2MIN,1500 RPM AND THE THING DIES .THE ONLY WAY TO STEAL IT IS DRAG IT ON A FLAT BED.
