wow.. sorry to hear! thats a pretty unique 996TT, so it should be easier to identify.

 

Holy Shiz! I used to live in PV. Didn't think RB got down like that! If the guys who stole it are smart, its already in a garage being taken apart. Sorry for your loss.

 

Thx.

It's a unique car for sure and not very much worth for anyone except myself as it was a salvage. Maybe they had a VIN from a crashed car and needed a shell... but then again this shell has been in an accident so that's no use.

 

Was it garaged at the time? No tracking device? Or suspected flat bed/tow? Very sorry for your loss!

 

Yes it was garaged. Waiting for a video to show how it was taken away, should give clues as to how it was moved and might provide some id if quality is good enough.

 

Man, I am so sorry to hear this... I really hate thieves... Best of luck in the recovery if thats what you want or the replacement. Thank God they didnt come into your home and harm your family....

 

+1

agreed

 

maybe this should be a sticky and not only on this forum !

 

That would be nice... at least for the next month or two if that'd be ok with everyone to stare at for a while.

If anyone, it's US who are always looking for parts, used parts, tuning parts, cars, wheels, anything connected to these - going through all online sales places to find unusual parts, or replacement parts, or good deals etc etc and it's a passion for most of us.

Anyone who comes on here, buys a car, starts right away, slowly in the beginning to ask about service, gremlins, and then we get comfy or bitten with modding and everyone goes into the mode of looking for things for their cars.

I can share easliy that this is getting more and more of a hard blow to keep the spirits up, no sign of the car yet and still so many eyes helping in trying to spot it somewhere. I close my eyes and I know just how the seat, steering, gear lever, throttle response feel. How could I ever want another car, I wasn't 'done' with this car at all, just laid all this work to make it a good platform, to get started to really enjoy it.

Guys, really go over your routines and measures to protect your assets. It's so easy to think "I've never been followed" home, but the time you might have been without thinking about it, is what you think about when it's gone. Also that doesn't always help, because people can still see the car in a garage, on a parking lot, random ppl just driving by "indexing" neighborhoods for potential cars to steal.

It's not the thing we think about enough, until too late.

 

UPDATE:

MAY 5 LATEST UPDATE: STOLEN BETWEEN 2.30am and 3.30am Monday morning MAY 3rd.

The car was observed DRIVEN out from the garage around 3.30am Monday morning. It was driven out with the lights off.

Pls still keep eyes open for parts, or the car, as the police are gathering more information.

how awful...most important is that you and your family are safe

hope they track these guys down

 

Wow! It's my understanding Porsches are very difficult to hotwire. Is there any possible way a key was copied/made? Shop, valet, etc?

That totally sucks, I wish a quick and satisfactory resolution for you!

 

I would seriously question the shops that have done work recently. Someone knew the value of the car / parts, knew your address, and had the ability to copy the transponder capsule in your remote.. If that is the case, the local shops should be able to tell you if a 996 key was ordered and cut based of computer records.

 

Never used valet.

Porsche says that even if they have a key blade, the car and key has to be coded together.
