My stolen car was found. But how did they do it?
Hey guys. My EK hatch was stolen from scarborough town centre, and it was found the other day. I went to look at it, and NOTHING was taken. My system was there, and so was everything. I just wanna know how they were able to start my car? My alarm was on, and nothing else was touched. They didn't damage the ignition, but the plastic hood latch was broken off. Can they start it from inside the engine? Anyone have a clue?

OT, but check to see if you still have your ownership and inusrance papers if they are kept inside the car.
They may be back for it a second time.
Alarms wont do much, as sad as it is, if a theif wants the car, they will take it from you.

i bought the car 6 years ago and nothing like this has happened to it.. they didnt' even steal my shift ****, or my vodka or my leather jacket and the ownership and insurance is still there...
so what should i do, guys? get another ignition with a different key?

Wow you're lucky lol
Maybe the thieves felt bad and ditched it.. haha..
I'd install a kill switch. I've heard its an easy, cheap mod...just gotta hide it well. Do you park in a garage?
BTW what time was your car stolen @ scar town? was it dark?

Clearly you dont know then..If you DONT have the key in the ignition that will NOT work...It will just try to crank over with nothing.

3 Level Immobilizer (shuts down ignition, starter and fuel pump).......New $30
it's basically a main kill switch that cuts off electricity to all 3 units by just turning the key. you can hide the key switch anywhere.
