We want to live in a society where you can park your car anywhere and it will not get stolen.

Might need to build our own CECOT at some point. Not for car thiefs but as a deterrent.

Due to current situations going on, I think the normal society days are over.

I like the idea of CECOT BUT I think the current CECOT is good enough and how about revoking their privileges here at home before sending them on a vacation

Camaro thefts are seriously out of control. It is freaking crazy!

Yeah I totally agree, I'm even hesitant to park my car when I cant see it. It just sucks that you can't have nice things without someone messing with it.

Should’ve locked their fob in a shielded box if it was a repeater heist.

I use a Faraday pouch (this one, it's cheap and works well), but let's not blame the victim here.

Sure, he could've gotten lucky if these ****s performed a simple relay attack without advanced tools, but 1) where do you draw the line, and 2) why should owners be forced to turn their vehicle into Fort Knox in a normal society? I'd rely on proper deterrrence instead, but that'd be mildly offtopic.

I'm ok with a CECOT for thieves!! I also think we should cut off a body part for a Camaro theft! Or even attempted theft.

Just wanted to update this. My car was stolen, recovered, and the thieves were caught. The DA for Houston called me and said over 100 Camaros came from this group, and I bet this ZL1 was one of them.

Straight to CECOT then.

Thanks for the update, I'm glad your vehicle was recovered, it's a rare gem

I have close friends in the DA's office here in Houston, next time I see them I will try and pry a little to see if I can get anymore information.

I don't think people realize how rare our cars can be.

Total Estimate (2022-2024):

Combining these rough estimates, the total number of 2022-2024 Camaro LT1 V8s with a manual transmission and Vivid Orange Metallic paint is likely in the range of 40-100 units. This is a conservative estimate based on the limited data available and the rarity of both manual transmissions and premium colors.

Glad to hear it worked out in the end for you

I’ve got at least 151 matching those, they got a bit higher target profile after production stopped. When I first posted this thread the thefts for 6th gen’s were almost 2 a day in Dallas and other parts of Texas
