Hey just wanted to let you all know that apparently it's not that difficult to steal your car. My gray z06 was just stolen yesterday in Almaden Lake Park in San Jose by an Uber driver in less than 30 minutes I was away on a run. Was locked and there was no broken glass. Uber mini-van driver with very dark windows and glowing sign in back window had followed me down the dead end street and parked in front of me and was gone as was my car.
great tip but this vehicle wasn't stolen at op's home!!
what i do at home!!

Sorry to hear about your car, always hate to see that. I wanted the extra security of using IGLA that blocks OBDII port theft and FOB replication. Won't stop flatbed, but it definitely stops several forms of electronic theft. I love the system ($1200 installed), having PIN code requirements to start the car and electronic theft deterrent was important. It's pricey, but was worth it to me.

Would the Solar throttle controller set to "LOCK" prevent this?
It's a bit of a pain to do this every time you park, but it could be useful in sketchy situations where someone follows you down a dead-end street, and you want to be extra cautious.

Add an AirTag. And good insurance for agreed value. If they want the car they will get the car.
If they steal mine make sure to total it. I don’t want it back.

It’s happening everywhere.
What would the AirTag do? Unless you plan to track it down and have your posse meet you at the offender's place and beat the hell out of them, what does it do? Besides waste your money? See THIS entire thread. 4 days. By that time, the car is in pieces and shipped.
You and I agree we don't want it back. So if you stole it, I want you to run far, run fast. Neither of us want it back so get good insurance. Cash check and buy something newer and nicer for a several thousand more.

Sorry to see that. GL, hope they nail em!
