1997 993 Turbo Stolen in Laguna Beach last night. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hey Guys,

A buddy of mine had his beloved 1997 993 Twin Turbo get stolen out of his driveway last night in Laguna Beach. This is in addition to the stolen Turbo S that was posted a few days back!!!

Details are below:

VIN Number is WPOAC2991VS375173. Black 993TT with Tan interior. Some odd features ... Aluminum Instruments, Cassette holders near the centerfold (not CD), PCA sticker in left rear seat window, other than that its immaculate and all original. Has roughly 21,000 miles. I don't want to post the owner's personal contact info online, so please PM me with any info you might have.

Car was stolen without a key and with no broken glass, so I am surmising that they punched the ignition lock after hot wiring it. Therefore, the thieves may be needing to purchase a replacement ignition or take the car somewhere to get it rekeyed.

PLEASE ALSO FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ANYBODY THAT YOU CAN.

Huge thanks to all! Best regards.

Wolf

Such a sad sight to see. Unfortunately I bet the container has already left, but fingers are crossed it can be found. Keep us updated wolfturbo.

Sorry to hear, email Autoblog they may give you a shout out online, I have seen it.

FYI guys, when I don't use mine I remove the DME relay and fuse 26 (Fuel Pump).

Hey guys,

We were having a similar occurance - turned out employees at a local detailing shop were copying keys. Worst part was they were stripping the cars down. May want to start there. I guess also check with service shop. Any place that has car and keys for enough time. Good luck.
