Then, use their scanner to send out the exact same code the OEM key does. The engine thinks the key is there and allows the engine to start.

It really sucks what happened to this guy. The sad part is, no matter what alarm you have or lojack or any of that...if a theif wants you car bad enough, and they're good at what they do, they will take your car.

I really hope his car is NOT found. I wouldn't want it back unless my insurance company was going to deem it a total loss.

Do insurance companies cover any of the money for parts/labor you have put into it if you can provide receipts? I assume they wont... unless maybe you own the property you live at and have home owners insurance maybe would they cover it? That really sucks man!!! Hope u get it back unharmed!!!!

And in a flash, my door was pulled open and a double edged hunting knife was at my throat. I had no choice but to get out, it was horrific. He had the drop on me, he gets in closes my door and me and my lady are standing in the street like is this really happening, on lookers screaming..... And then he gets back out saying, "THIS **** IS STICK... ****! TAKE YOUR ****ING CAR BACK" and throws my keys and runs off. lol It wasn't funny at the time but now I laugh at it. Everything happens for a reason just remember that.
