Has anyone ever had their Z stolen?

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.

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.
