I know my old instructor telling me about a certain device he sells to people (mostly with show/rare cars) that you hide somewhere in the vehicle, and it's a low yearly cost and you are notified of any movement with it. Just a thought

Look up how to make a lo jack on google. Pretty neat if it works.

No, you should get a Viper VSS5000 w/GPS and have it installed in a full custom manner. Which means where you would normally splice into the existing harness, you completely replace the wire from one end to the other with a new, different color wire. Preferably with gold/yellow wires with airbag system labels. It's a 30 second process to defeat VATS (Passlock, II & III) on most GM vehicles with LS-based engines.

Problem with LoJack is it's in a very easily squashed and detected radio frequency. Not only that, but it's very dependent on a Lojack-equipped police unit being within a couple of miles of the car, conditions permitting. In some urban environments accurate triangulation will fall to less than 3/4 of a mile.

I would be leery of parking such a fine ride in a place where I'd already lost one vehicle. Now that you no longer work there, that point is no longer valid.

I wonder if you hid a cell phone in the car, . . . couldn't you use a find my phone app, listen to the interior of the car, and perhaps even watch? At $40 a month, it might not be a bad idea, if it can be done.

Nice car. I like red.

Thanks fellas. C6.

The only reason I drove my camaro to New Orleans is because my girl needed my commuter car. I have an 04 toyo rolla that I used to commute

I'll take some better pics tomorrow when I'm off. Only a couple small blemishes on the paint. Inside is 9/10. Stole it from'em. They wanted to get rid of it. Been on the lot for a while.
