Great news Kevin!

A guy I used to work with had his brand new Toyota pickup stolen from his driveway once; it had LoJack and the police recovered it within a couple of hours, and very minimal damage.

LoJack used to be $500 though AND I think had a monthly/annual fee. But I think their gimmick was they'll pay your ins. deductible if the car isn't recovered? It's been a long time since I looked into it, but it might be worth another consideration.

Note to self - no more keys left in the garage.

Speaking of alarms. Besides lojack, do people have alarms installed on their 914s? Are they worth it? I always figured that if someone wanted to steal my 914 that they would just flat bed it away.

Yeah, I sometimes have been known to leave keys in the car or nearby in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) But normally I keep 'em locked up inside the house and keep the cars locked and alarmed if applicable, even in the garage. Also at least one of our dogs usually sleeps in the garage.

Back in the early 90's my old blue 911 almost got stolen from inside our condo unit garage. It happens all the time. I don't generally believe alarms are worth a crap, but in that case the alarm actually saved the car (it was loud as hell and the car was parked right under the landlord's bedroom!)

Spend some time with the gay. If you have problems related to the theft later it is nice to have an understanding with him.


I don't know what kind of team you think Kevin plays on... but he's married I believe!

...or get 3 friends and the 4 of them would just walk away carrying it.
