Angry GT3 Stolen!!!

On Tuesday, a 2004 GT3 was stolen from Ira Porsche. The car is yellow with PCCB and lots of yellow trim inside. the VIN is WP0AC29934S692192. The car had about 350 miles on it when it left here. If anyone comes across this car, or any info regarding it, please contact me immediately. I can be reached at:
Alfied@iramotorgroup.com
978.739.8814,

or, you can email John D. at admin@rennlist.com.

All of your assistance is tremendously appreciated.

Thanks

Wow, a theif with good taste. (Maybe it was Charlie Sheen).

I hope it turns up in one piece. There are few things worse than a thief.

Even know I am far away, I will keep my eye out. So is there a reward for any "good" info on the car?

Angry Mexican Border

I think it's in poor taste to ask for a reward!

I'll keep my eyes open for it here, on the way to the Mexican border...I guess this is a situation where it would be okay to slash the tires, to keep it from crossing, if I see it, while waiting for the cops?

I'd think you'd want us to call the cops, at this distance, then you, correct?

Absolutely feel free to call the cops if you see this car... if you have leads or ideas, let me know...if you know where the car is, cops are great!!

Well, I'll be on the lookout, but I doubt it'll show up in Canada. But who knows...

Thieves really **** me off. Damn scum...

Not to be pessimistic, but it's likely it has already been taken apart and pieces of it have been shipped all over. My mom had a vehicle stolen once, (although a much cheaper one) and the police said a lot of times this is unfortunately what happens.

Anyhow, I really hope you get it back soon and in good shape.

Wow, a new GT3 stolen...off the lot of a Porsche dealership? That's no petty thief, this must have been planned out...chances are the car is already on a boat somewhere...this guy is dangerous, I hope he gets caught!

Any idea how it was stolen? Was it driven away or towed? Did the thief get the key somehow? Was it a customer's car? Was the dealership open at the time? Was it stolen at night? Did someone take it for a test drive and never come back? What happened exactly?

I'm a local (Boston) and will keep my eyes open.

I'll keep my eye in maine, even though this isn't the best place to go with a stolen GT3 seeming as there isn't very many other porsches to blend in with.

i wish you the best of luck finding it, but i hope it was insured, because someone is either having the ride of their life or there's about to be a lot of gt3 parts on ebay lol.

Wonder how they stole it..

Does the Gt3 have an alarm?
if so you can bet the car was taken onto a flatbed via (winch)...

Everyone keep on the lookout for Gt3's expecially Yellow ones..
