Thats what I was wondering myself. I thought the car couldnt start without a paired key.
If they brought a flatbed into my community, someone would have seen something.
But I figured they found some way to bypass and hotwire it, then just push start it.

Thanks guys!

Call the cc company and tell them u want videos of the transaction, or go to the gas stations and ask for it. Go online and check craigs list for parts for sale.
Sorry to hear this happened to a fellow evo owner.

I learned to change that habit. I keep my wallet there cause I misplace it.

Google stolen evo and grab some pop corn.

It's the new Civic now that they are affordable.

Strap up and get em.

all evo's out there!!
garage, garage, garage!! or pay a little extra a month and put your ride in a storage, totally worth the money, they will give you a key and code access 24/7.
ultimately get a daily beater! and keep your EVOs locked, safe and secured out of public areas and cheesy hands!!

A week before a got my evo I got a garage!! you are in SoFla!!

good luck, be safe!
