97 ITR. White. Stolen from my driveway at 2:40am today. Neighbor saw them pushing it out of the driveway. Neighbor called the cops who were here in an instant. But just too late. Lojack activated.

That F***ing sucks bro. Good luck with the recovery, hopefully everything will be intact. Hope those A**holes get caught.

Do the local authorities use Lo-Jack?

Any security measures on the car?

Sucks to hear man. And a 97 on top of that.

Hope to read this tomorrow along with a report of an arrest or 2...

So sorry to hear. I've had 2 stolen and it's always a terrible experience. Makes you angry at the world.....good luck

The car had a pretty good (audible) alarm system. My neighbor said it didn't go off. I know it's just a matter of seconds for pros to jimmy the window, pop the hood and disconnect the battery negative, but how did they bypass it all together?

I imagine thieves read these threads, so be aware thieves, you came close to being shot last night. I would not have hesitated.

Doespike

Have a backup battery installed to the alarm? Tested that battery in past year or so?
Doesn't much matter now...just curious.

Seems more often, thieves are just trying to push by hand or another car...an ITR away. Not even bothering to hotwire and drive it.

Might be worth it to drive around a bit. They may have ditched it to see if it gets tracked by GPS/lojack.

There should be no trial. They should just hang the mother****ers. And a 97 on top of it . . . Keep us updated.

the website says all counties in MA are covered, there should be a recovery soon. :crosses fingers: thankfully i haven't had to test mine yet. i also have gps installed so i dont have to rely on the police to recover, i could go after it myself.

Totally not trying to be a dick here but what was a 97 ITR doing in your driveway overnight? Was that where you normally kept it? Was it a one time thing leaving it out and they grabbed it?

I can honestly say that if I left my ITR out of the garage in the driveway for one night, it would be gone.

Ultraspeed DC2

ditto, especially about the one time thing leaving it outside. That seems to be the case alot. There were times I thought about it but always moved it in the last second.

I don't live in "Boston". I live in a nice suburb of Boston. Car's been in my driveway(s) since 1998. Mostly living under a car cover. There isn't any room in the living room for the car...

Does the GPS work if the car is in a shop? (can the satellite get a transmission through the shop roof?)

Hi Paul,

I am very sorry to hear. I frequent the greater Boston area regularly for work and have yet to see an ITR, for obvious reasons of course.

Best of luck with everything. :-(

HONDRETTI

yes. the gps system i have works off of gsm service identical to say, att wireless. its like cell phone reception.
