If it was stolen on July22nd...they probably have the thing parted out by now...unless they are stupid enough to drive around in it.

I wish I knew how they got it off the lot. With the imobilizer key I though these cars were pretty hard to hot wire. Not being a professional theif, I couldn't say. My experience is that most theives aren't smart and many will drive a stolen car, hence the post.

Its kinda sad how easy it is to steal our cars, the immobilizer does not help at all.

****ing bastards. But stealing from the dealer, that's really odd. Don't you guy have Security camera?? I used to work at a mits dealer and we have in/out door motion detection camera with Night vision .

I thought you guys had cameras. I always pondered how difficult it would be to pilfer rims although I would never do such a henious crime.

No the Evo is Easy to Steal even with the Immobilizer. I don't really know how it's done but I heard about it from a source...no flash, no key...it can be done...
