Dk Blue Metallic 993 Turbo stolen in Newport

Night before last my 1996 993 Turbo was stolen from curbside in front of my house.

No evidence of any kind as to how it was taken - presume it was towed. Has Lojack - nothing found yet

My advice - get the $200 hidden GPS tracker/pinger installed. Best units have settings to start sending texts or emails if they leave a given radius, ping every so many minutes, etc. Have one in my truck; wish I had put it in my Turbo.

Midnight Blue Metallic, Cashmere leather, Chrome Wheels, 29,900 miles

Please call Newport Beach, CA police or email me if you see anything. Can't be 100 of this color combo in the world.

Hope they find it fast and lock up the dirt bags that stole it.

NOOOOO! I cant believe it got stolen. Question, why can't the location be tracked with the LoJack? Anyhow, I hope you get your car back in one piece.

If the transponder is removed or vehicle is in an underground garage there may not be
sufficient signal for the LE metering equipment...Bert
