Go figure.

Well glad you got it back. And you will remember this story and possibly laugh about it later in life.
We will all be laughing shifty711 if you post a thread how your car was stolen with the engine running. You are making a new convenient product available at convenience stores. Hell, a 12 yr. old just might want to try it out.

It sounds like Lojack is very good for recovering the Lojack system. The car could be dissected in 9 hrs.

LoJack to the rescue!


Man, I'm hesitant about leaving the car running when I park 5 feet in front of the Blockbuster dropoff slot when taking something back.

Since moving back to Grand Junction, Colorado from Westminster, CA, I notice people do that all the time here. It bugs me because I am used to seeing a car chase on the new every night on the local new stations. I never leave my car unlocked with a key. My car is always locked when I am not it in.

Just be glad he didnt hit anything or anyone. You would be aprtly liable for any damages because you left the engine running.

At least you got the car back, but what would have happened to you if the gun was real?

That's why you carry a gun. That is ridiculous. Can you get prints from the BB gun. The punishment should be death for stealing a car.

I knew exactly what was going on so I quickly grabbed the keys to my mom's truck and start driving like a maniac towards the 101 fwy. People....if you're going to steal a car, please steal one that you can drive. This guy was burning up my clutch bad, which explains why a big *** Expedition on 22's was able to catch up and keep up to my lightly modded Z. The whole time Im on the phone with the 911 operator letting her know of my route. 101 south to the 10 east. Well at this point he is going about 30-40mph on the 3rd lane. Im right behind him until he comes to a complete stop in the middle of the freakin fwy. I pull up along side and tell him to get the fawk out of my car. BAstard still has the nerve to tell me to wait and also says please. Im like wtf!! So I get out and he jumps out and start running towards on coming traffic. Almost got hit by a big *** semi. Too bad he didnt. Didnt give chase because I'd rather live to drive the Z that to die and not ever drive it again. A few minutes later a tow truck shows up and helps me push the Z to the shoulder. Clutch is completely gone. CHP shows up waaay after. The idiot also forgot to take his BB gun, which was sitting in my passenger seat. Had the Z towed home and tomorrow its headed to WCN for a new clutch. Moral of the story....Dont ever leave your car unattended at 5:30am when you think all the knuckleheads are asleep. No other damage to repot. LAPD showed up to my house a few minutes ago...umm 9 hrs later, because they tracked the LoJack. Figures. Then End.
holy CHIT dude
good thing i bought that intake if u still had it he would have gotten away!!

Glad u caught him

He definatly would have been held at gun point till the cops got there. Insurance cover the new clutch and the tow?
