Ouch
Sorry to hear. Well i'm guessing you reported it to the cops, so thats a first step. Also you could start posting on TEG boards describing your car and situation. I've seen many threads where people on forums help each other find their stolen cars.

That is terrible!! As a fellow GSR owner I can really feel your pain. I hope you find it all in one piece. And I hope that the spineless thief who stole it wakes up one day to find that he has burried up to his neck in the local park and there is a lawnmower heading his way. How dare they steal the mighty GSR?! Cowards...

Came home around 5pm. Parked in the street because guest's car was in the driveway. After they left at 8pm, I go outside to move my car and it's gone. It's equipped with Lojack, so we'll see what happens. Thanks for your support guys.

Thanks, Jngrbrdman. My car isn't even riced out. It's 99% stock...even the crappy Honda stereo. After I got it back the first time, it was never the same again....*sigh*

Aww then you are fine then!
If you have LoJack installed, expect a phone call in the next couple of hours.

Smart on your part !

Aw, that sucks
Kinda points out the 2 sides of LoJack:

One one hand: it works, so you get your car back

Other hand:after the thieves abuse your car, do you want it back? Would you be better off with the insurance money?

Good luck

One more thing: if this is the SECOND time your car's been taken, it might make sense to try a more advanced theft system, or deterrent. A deterrent, like the CLUB, can make theives move on to the next car. If they know it's gonna be a hassle, they'll move on.
Or get an advanced system, where only YOUR preogrammed key can be used.
Just trying to help.
