Came back from holiday on Saturday to find my prized pork not where I left it. Stolen from the drive whilst I was away... Lovely

if anyone sees LB08 OKZ please shout or inform the police.
Black 997 gen 2 C2S with carrera classic alloys and black leather interior. Half the S badge on the back missing as I recently snapped it whilst cleaning. Not exactly an obvious stand out spec!

Likely to be well gone by now as we suspect it was stolen the day we left but happy to try anything I can!

I'd have thought Vodafone would be worth a try.

Very sorry to hear this.

Where about in Chislehurst? I am on Old Hill and had my E61 M5 stolen from my drive while I was asleep. Ever since I have always, always keep the GT3 in the garage as I could not help but notice that people slow down to look at it. Will keep my eyes opened, but unlikely to surface any time soon. The police told me that my M5 would have been a professional job, stolen to order and most likely shipped out of the country within hours.

Such a shame about Chislehurst - petty crime is non-existent, but quite a few nice car seem to go missing too often for my liking...

The people that took over the Cobra tracker that's fitted to the car. I've heard of other tracker companies being able to trace cars that did not have a subscription.

Not good, hope it gets sorted out quickly.

Any idea how? Do you still have the keys?

Yep they will re-activate - my friends car was recovered this way.

Modern cars seem to be more open to the pros stealing them - or was that always the case?

Y not

Vodafone automotive is the group that bought Cobratrack who provide the porsche tracking systems.

https://automotive.vodafone.co.uk

They might want the police to speak to them before they activate. Copper that responded to a burglary at mine spoke to them, I then paid the subs whilst they tracked my Range Rover. Found in 15 mins.

Hope you get it back. Worth posting on 911uk and facebook as the porsche community use those as well.

Just off yester road. Yeah Chislehurst is lovely and very safe but a lot of expensive homes and cars around which clearly tempt the wrong sorts...

Still no joy and the police have now closed the case. Not surprising I guess, car very likely well gone and bugger all evidence
Have call with insurance today to hopefully make progress with getting the claim paid.
