It would be cool if there was a remote button on our keyfob----one where, when all else fails in attempting to find your car, you can push so that the engine, wherever it is, simply implodes! If I can't have it back, nobody can! lol. We can dream.

Thank you for your everyday wish. It nice to hear...I'm still not giving up on hope but chances are slim to find it so I've been told.

Because of the insurance claim, I am checking for sale adds of equivalent value but Im not there yet it terms of thinking to replace my Camaro.
Plus I am afraid that they will come again and steel the next one .... it seems Pros did this and they know where I live now...just a shitty situation Im in.

Might have to forget about a special super sport car for a while and drive a minivan like everbody else.

Mike i totally feel your pain and anger. the bad news is unfortunatly it won't be find it's allready gone in some container overseas.. really sorry.

in 1999 i had a trans am ws6 it was so clean i couldn't help my self to wash it 2 times per day-it was black-- i did not had a garage so parked outside ,my neighbour told me that he had seen a guy in a cadillac passing and passing by and watching my car... it wasn't long that it was stolen under my nose early in the morning. i opened the front door and i saw my taillinght going fast down the street. called 911 they saw the car it was going from the 640 to the 13 then onto the 440 going east and then they let him go telling me that we weren't in the far west! the thing that outraged me the most is the cop tells me don't worry about it ,you're insured, you'll get a new one! i was funing mad.if i had robbed a bank pretty shure they would have done anything to stop me. but for a car they don't care. easier to give a ticket for a stop ,or speeding.

well once settle i got a 1999 grand am gt after. i hated that car so much. i was missing my trans am ws6 so bad..

thinking,like you since the thieves knew were i was didn't want to give them another dessert. once i moved from st-eustache. i got a house with a garage and there ,in 2001, i ordered another trans am the collectors edition. it was hidden the all time. i had it for 12 years. my trip was done. i sold it got the camaro 1LE in 14. it's another journey.

i'm really mad at those persons who for them is a job, and we care so much for our cars like any others. some people don't realize that.

when you work hard and pay for something you wantto reward yourself, others are jealous of your sucess and just take it away from you. i would throw them in a dungeon!

if you get another camaro put all the systems to protect you or at least to slow them down.it would be easy to say remove the steering wheel everyday or remove a wheel that way it can't be on a trailer, just everyday pain.. hide the serial number on the dash it's with that, they get the key code.

i wish you the Best of luck if you find it.

Thank you for sharing that experience, if I get another one, I will protect it with many different systems. Did not know that about the VIN under the windshield...

I'm just wondering. Can a GM engine be ID'd if the police check for a VIN or casting
number to see if it's from a stolen car? I bet a lot of these engines are being installed
on other Camaros or street rods.

[MCSarge]

The motor and other parts have the VIN stamped into them from the factory.

[Mikamaro]

So the Insurance company told me yesterday I should get back to me within 7 days...

They can, but most likely won't unless there is reason for suspicion. I believe that some states require that id numbers or vin numbers of donor cars be given when registering an rebuilt/salvage car. But I think the typical LS3 swap is going to fly under the radar.

Guessing chop shops can be charged by the number of vins that are accounted for that have been on stolen vehicles. Parts already installed would be much harder to find

The closest I can come to an answer is from watching a couple of episodes of "Bait Car" where the perp led them to a chop shop. The police simply checked all the cars vins, but never opened a hood or anything like that.

I should get an counter offer tomorrow from the insurer, they offered me the low end of the market value spectrum last week and I came back with a higher evaluation. I'm eager to see what they will say and propose...any thoughts base on experience at this point?

[dustin0284]

Please keep us updated with what they have to say! I've been checking on this thread multiple times a day!

I'm hoping for the best outcome possible for you!

It's difficult to share suggestions without knowing the amount they offered & if it included the additional equipment.

I understand but at this point in the negotiation I don't want to divulge any numbers.
They came back Monday first thing in a morning saying they won't change their mind about their evaluation but added a few hundreds to their offer. They still don't want to pay me anything on my performance upgrades. So I counter offer with a lower offer then my initial goal by thousands and since then it's dead silent...until now and again, they still won't bulge.
