Congratulations, very lucky. I have a tracker on mine, but the SIM subscription has expired.... You have motivated me into action and I will now buy a new SIM.

. . . please tell me you have a fire extinguisher on board?

All true, but many trackers allow you to geofence, so you get a text the instant the car leaves the zone. And mine at least allows you to give a code to the police who can start tracking it instantly. So hopefully they can get it before it gets to Slovenia or Hungary, or god forbid, Oklahoma

I'm glad for your good fortune. I think I'd better look into some kind of theft protection.
I hope the fender repair goes well.

I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself-Ferdinand Porsche
Wonderful news David. Seems odd that the thief was able to break in and drive away with no damage to the car, suggesting he either had a copy of the key or as previously mentioned had an array of old keys and found one that worked -- but he didn't know how to open the gas flap.
Agreed. My guess is that the guy who stole the car then passed it on to someone else to babysit it near where it was stolen in case a GPS device was present, and wait it until the next person picked it up. I'm imagining a ring of thieves and assume this was eventually to end up in a shipping container in Oakland. I could be totally off base but none of it really adds up.

I had to leave my 356 on my driveway in SF while I charged the Tesla in the garage. As precautions given this, I closed the driveway gate, locked the car and turned the gas valve to off.
Few hours later I put the 356 back in the garage.
Yesterday I take it out and 3 blocks later it starts stumbling. What?! I wondered if I went into the wrong gear. Then it quickly dawned on me the valve was off.
Caught by my own trap!
