    Christ almighty! Happy to see somebody with the right common sense reply. WTF was that car doing on the street (in SF no less) in the first place? Victim is one lucky dude.

    Actually, Dallas Ft Worth has far more car thefts than San Francisco.

    SF is known for smash and grabs though.

    Not to take away from the locked garage point, though garages are at a premium in SF.

    So a garage is mandatory,battery kill switch is a good idea and pull the rotor off the dizzy. Also a club on the steering wheel and a car cover as well if you have to park on the street. Locked garage is the highest priority. If I did not have a garage these days for a Porsche today; I would not have such a car.

    Agree with all of the above, but wouldn't a car cover attract attention? When I see a car under a cover, I always wonder what's underneath.

    Lol, me too. I figure it must be something good. And I usually look for the silhouette of a sloping back.

    Yes a Porsche under a cover is known by most Porsche people; your average dude--not so much.

    I am very very happy for you, would have been better if they had stolen a new one, at least that way you could have replaced it with another just like it. Just removing the distributor rotor would be an easy easy thing to do and NO ONE could EVER start it
