My heart sank when I read the first post. Been there and I know how much that hurts. Glad to hear you got it back and that it wasn't trashed or worse set on fire. That happens a lot here in Las Vegas.

Congrats on the safe return. :cheers:

Thank God..

Is it just me or do Malibus seem to get stolen a lot?

But in Denmark of all places?!?! That had to be pretty high profile.

Glad to hear you got it back, especially with the minimal damage.

The GPS tracking devices are neat and all, but the GPS devices and LoJack are easily defeated by a $45 jammer any schmuck can buy over the internet. They even have a cigarette lighter adapter, I wonder why... Chances are a joyrider won't have one-- but you can bet a professional will.

Man that was quick.
Did law enforcement find it or was it just a citizen?

A thief will get what he wants if he wants it bad enough. But I will do everything I can to either stop him from stealing it or help in aid in the recovery, should it be stolen. Glad I don't have a cigarette lighter. :P

Good to hear you got it back. Luckily you had most of the good parts out of it! :cheers:

Damn thives, glad you got it back.

Unfortunatelly cars like this gets stolen here now and then. Most of the time its a ordered job because they want driveline or other parts.

The technical stuff that is available today are good and a tracking device is worth its money. You usually get lower fares on the insurance too.

BTW saw this story the other day. Some girl in New York got her iMac stolen a couple of days after she had a party in her flat. Apple has some software so you can track your computer if it get stolen and you can even control it remotely if you get contact. She found it active on the net and could use the inbuilt camera to take photos of the bastards when they used her computer. Guess what, it was some of her "friends" that were on her party.
Hard to explain to the cops :unibrow:
