Has anyone ever had their Z stolen?

Easiest way to steal a car, flat bed, pull it on and drive away.
Does not matter what awesome system you have before you can react the car is gone.

Might want to look into that... I'm going to say that I don't know people buy I know people who can *ahem* Hotwire cars... And your standard Toyota Honda whatever, even with a transponder key... 30 seconds from the time the door it open... (I have seen them do it and I shat myself)
On the other hand... I had 2 different guys try to... Start my 2009 Nissan Maxima without the key... 30 min later they both pretty much have up and said they couldn't do it, and one have me the estimate of 3 HOURS to disconnect everything that's connected to the immobilizer, the push button, the key recognizing thing, the wiring harness...

^and yes, this is THE BEST way of stealing a car

Hot wiring cars. I forgot all about it. I had a car I hot wired once when the key broke. A Datsun B210. It was easy, and I just figured it out while delivering pizzas at night.

I sure hope we are miles from this happening to our Z's.

One of my previous 240Z's ignition switch/lock was so worn that a flat screwdriver would start it right up.

What if your staying at a hotel? Or going to a movie? Or taking it anywhere for that matter that you have to leave it overnight? It does stay in a garage when I am home. haha

I saw on the thieves dot com there is a thread called "How many of you have failed to steal a 370z because of the steering lock failure?". And the replies are 100 pages long... You worry too much OP.

Well then you just have to take your chance and hope for the best

Whoa, I had a1979 Datsun B210 as my first car. I could start it with a flat screwdriver. My key broke as well.

I did not think to try it. I had to defeat the steering lock mechanism. I drove a few feet when it engaged.
