How They Steal Your C7 Corvette (How To Stop It)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Getting your Corvette stolen sucks. Everyone likes to think they are invincible until it happens to them. It doesn't matter whether you live on the poor side or the wealthy side; theft can happen anywhere.
This video is to inform C7 Corvette owners on how their car is being stolen (the best educated guess); not to teach thieves on how to steal them. Believe it or not, they already know.

Wish this was posted a month earlier! I had my MANUAL (for those who say manuals don’t get stolen) z06 stolen in September and was lucky enough the police recovered it.
They are stolen all the time now!!! It doesn’t matter the transmission. So heartbreaking! ❤️🩹
Why would you want it recovered? That motor and or trans is done for soon.
Homie definitely has that "don't touch me my dad's a lawyer" look going on with those shoes and shorts 😂
Right?! Someone called me George Washington last week 😂😂
I have the ultimate theft protection= it’s a manual 😂
They are stealing manual transmission Z06s too lol. They just send the more experienced guys 😂😂
Don't think that for a moment my guy!!! Invest in some aftermarket protection!
You're gonna be in for a rude awakening soon lol
🤡
Where do you live just out of curiosity, I can't drive manual so you can send your home address
Great video! Great information! I have had quite a friends getting their Corvettes stolen lately. This is much need info.
Thank you sir! I’ve enjoyed watching your gallardo videos!! You’re a big player when it comes to corvette RUclipsrs!! A complement from you means a lot! 💪🏽
Wow, a lot of great information. I have to admit I really haven't given this much thought. I should probably start giving some thought to this now. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! Keep your stuff safe! Just a simple air tag can give you peace of mind.
Agreed! I just ride with my 9 but I’m definitely doing this asap! Especially since I’m a 👩
Thanks Koby! Great stuff man!
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching ☺️
Man this is valuable information thanks a lot for informing us I just purchased a C6 2009 convertible beautiful I'm having a shiped from Oklahoma to Connecticut I will definitely consider one of these
Glad I could help! Congrats on your C6 corvette and enjoy it!! More miles is more smiles! Stay safe and don’t let those thieves steal your joy!
Thanks for the information, great video! I love your chanel!!
Thank you for watching!! Keep the Porsche safe when you go to Germany!! 🤓
Excellent suggestions. Thanks for this!
Absolutely! Thank you for watching!
Thanks this information was helpful and beneficial for women who drives Corvettes❤
Absolutely! I want everyone to be safe. Beautiful cars and you work hard for them. Don’t let the thieves take them - the government doesn’t punish the criminals enough.
Great video. My Z51 Stingray (same color pattern as yours) was stolen a little over a month ago. They removed my targa top, subwoffers, rearview mirror and battery but luckily , I got it back. I'll definetly be looking into some of these theft deterants . Great video.
I’m so sorry that you had to experience that. I know it’s painful. I appreciate the kind words and let me know what you decide to install!
I wouldn't even want it back after that...
They recently broke into my stingray, they didn’t take anything so im assuming they wanted to steal it, thanks for this video man, replacing the glass has been hell lol
No problem! Glad they didn’t take your stingray! Hopefully just a vandalism claim (comprehensive) and pay your $100 deductible and keep right on trucking!
Thank you for finding good wiring solutions. I was thinking of making my own, but it's much easier and potentially more secure going with a more advanced off the shelf solution.
Absolutely! Keep your stuff safe and secure!
Just had my SS stolen. This vid helped a lot for my next one, thanks man!
I’m sorry man!! I know that sucks. Where was your car stolen? Hopefully they can find it.
New Orleans area
Gorgeous vehicle! And good information to avoid theft too!!
Thank you!! I appreciate that!
Thank you for this video!
You bet! Keep your car safe!
Had my 2016 zo6 attempted robbed in Los Angeles, thankfully still have my car and installed igla after that experience
That sucks! It’s happening in all the major cities. Have you liked IGLA so far? I’m definitely grabbing their OBD Blocker!
What part of LA?
My Compustar alarm alerted me but the guys that stole my Z06 were able to still start it and drive away. Luckily I had some AirTags hidden away in it and was able to lead the police to where the vehicle was being detected. Vehicle was found within 30 minutes with minimal damage. I’ve now added the Compustar Drone to it and looking to add the IGLA OBD Block.
Very nice! Happy that you were prepared!! I appreciate you for sharing your experience!
thank you SO much foir the inf. i plan on getting one in a month or so and had zero idea they were hot. i thought it was just hellcats getting ripped. alright, first place im heading after the dealership is to get an am/m alarm for one thing
Thank you so much for watching! Have a wonderful holiday season with your family!! Keep your corvette safe when you’re ready to pull the trigger!!
Yes they almost took my car last night. As for this reason I’m here. Thank you for the tips.
Absolutely man! What happened? Thank goodness they didn’t - stay safe out there!
Had my 2014 Z51 stolen July last year as well in Dallas. Police recovered it 2 weeks later somewhere in Arlington with a broken driver window, replaced windshield, and the VIN was changed to a 2015 model in the same color ! Just got it back after spending 10 months in the body shop getting repaired. Had to have the red Texas reassigned VIN badge stamped on the door sill, so now everyone can see it was former stolen.
Now I'm a bit more paranoid. I put in airtags, make sure to keep my key fobs in a faraday/RFID blocker bag, and install a clutch pedal to wheel lock on the car whenever I park it. That way they won't even be able to start the car because the clutch pedal can't be pushed. And for good measure I turn on valet mode, as I keep the airtags in the locked compartments.
great info!!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video.
Thank you for watching!
Great video!
Thank you! It’s getting crazy down here with the car thefts!
dam, I had my '14 c7 z51 7 speed manual. was stolen 2 days ago in Houston. They drove off with it and i've been trying to figure out exactly how they did it. Thanks for this vid, quite a sad week for me. Makes me feel slightly better that I got jacked by some legit thieves and not some bum kids.
I am so sorry you had to go through that. I know how it feels; let's hope your car hasn't crossed the border yet. None of our cars are safe anymore.
@@kobyspurgin if they don't find it, I'm shootin for a GS or Z06 upgrade but definitely gonna look into these kill switch anti-theft options.
@@BboyDaquack That would be a nice upgrade from the Z51! The harsh reality is that we need these anti-theft devices on all of our keyless entry cars now. Corvettes and Hellcats are just the cherries on top!
@@kobyspurgin just wanted to give ya a quick update. but I ended up getting a 2017 C7 Z06! Absolutely love it!! first stop is gonna be anti-theft this time around... not takin any chances with this one only having 6.7k miles on it.
Great video man
I Still can't wait for you to install the corsa axle back mufflers.
Looking forward to that❤
Thank you!! I am excited too! Hopefully I can get them on by the end of the month! 💪🏽
@@kobyspurgin Please I would love if you record the whole process of installing the Corsa mufflers.
❤️❤️
@@CJ-lr6qt that’s the plan! I know where they will be installed and I will let them know that I want to film! 👍🏼
Get the Extreme’s for the best sound!
@@harleygrit5358 yessir! Ordering them tonight!! 💪🏽
Very good video. I wasn’t aware that my corvette was at risk. Glad you recovered your vehicle.
I think every vehicle with keyless entry is at risk these days! Thanks for watching Danny! Keep your corvette safe! I appreciate it - it was a nitemare, thankfully the nitemare ended.
Danny, get some aftermarket protection!!
@@kobyspurgin”update” they tried to steal my C7 this morning. Broken driver side window was all the damage sadly a few scrapes on my steering wheel also from the glass.
@@dannysanchez7069 wow!! It’s happening to everyone. Did you have any valuables in the car? Maybe they just wanted to steal something inside it.
@@kobyspurgin I have nothing in the vehicle just cleaning supplies and an apple wire. From the look of the videos they just drove by a broke the window. I think someone else was nearby ready to take it.
thanks for the tips
great bideo
Of course! Thanks for watching! It means a lot!
I see you in Mckinney. I am in Allen area. I drive a C8 and recently bought. Happy to cruise with you.
Very nice!! Do you have instagram?
FYI - license plate covers interfere with LPRs, which reduces your chance of recovery because LPRs cannot track a covered plate. Covers are also illegal in most states.
To be honest I used it so my plate would look all black. Reflectivity laws in the state won’t let me have a 4 digit plate without a white bar. I used black gorilla tape and then put the WeatherTech cover over it. I think it looks hot, but I have been pulled over and been given a warning for it.
Wheel clamp for front tire, steering wheel bar, remote battery disconnect, cell phone in hidden compartment behind display, remove battery from remote
Awesome video bro I’ve been paranoid even tho it’s just a base c6 these bums will steal anything I recommend a product called start stopper
No problem! Thank you for watching! Keep your corvette safe - nothing is safe these days
Good job Sir
Good to know which options offer insurance rebates
Agreed value! Better than ACV!
I've always joked about putting your pet snake in the car as a theft deterrent. They can go quite a while without eating. But they don't like being disturbed. I also wondered about having the car up on jack stands.
Yeah if I saw a snake I would run! Especially if I heard it rattle 🤣🤣
Good video. Thanks for the suggestions. My wife's '17 Grand Sport was stolen last month at a hotel we were staying at. Fortunately for us, the police were able to locate the car via OnStar and we got it back the next day. It had some damage from the break in that we had to repair, but we were able to drive it home.
Very sorry to hear that! You are lucky that OnStar helped you out! Do you pay for their service? It’s so sad that if these thieves pull the OnStar fuse it’s extremely hard to recover. I was bummed when I called insurance to let them know my car was recovered and that the theft claim was no longer needed, they said it’s still a theft claim, but now labeled as theft recovery. Were your diagnostics and GPS screwed up? Paint damage is minor, but glad to have it back.
We pay about $200 per year for the OnStar service. When we recovered the car, none of the electronics in the car were operating. However, the dealer was able to repair the electronics.@@kobyspurgin
Usually, Onstar and Sirius Guardian are worthless! Sirius Guardian is Mopars version of Onstar. The systems are too easily defeated!
An on/off switch on the key fob would be an awesome feature manufacturers could easily make available.
Agreed! I guess the remote would have to be in range.
manufactures and insurance companies are the shadow capitol sources for these theft cartels
Oh btw I’m happy that you were able to recover your vehicle soon!
I heard the muscle cars are at the top of the list on North Texas but I still believe that this is inside jobs that have the accessibility and knowledge of the getting a hold of the equipment ☹️
Thank you so much! I am very lucky! Many cars are stolen in Dallas, the surrounding suburbs and cities is a lot less!
Unfortunately, the equipment can be ordered on Amazon for about 500 bucks. I live in DFW also, and the car theft is insane! Dudes would sell the stolen cars on Instagram for a couple grand!
Very informative. A lot of people in Dallas are starting to catch on to how easy it is to steal GM vehicles. My friend just had his ZL1 stolen in Dallas and my Corvette was nearly stolen as well.
No way!!! What happened?! Did you stop them?
@@kobyspurgin They just broke my window and looked through the car, but decided not to take mine for whatever reason. I kind of wish they did so I’d have an excuse to get a Z06 like my friend did 😂
@@corvettecamm having your car stolen isn’t fun 😂😂
@@kobyspurgin No pain, no gain 😂
Ignition cut off is always another layer of protecting.😊
Absolutely!!
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
if someone wants it bad enough they are gonna take it, doesn't really matter what you do
You’re absolutely right! They are willing to risk everything so don’t risk your life!
Thanks koby
Of course! Thanks for watching
Thanks. I'm confused by the recommendation at 5:35. What are you referring to re: changing bolt pattern? What bolts and where? How would using bolts instead of a the screwdriver help.
From a fellow C7 owner, THANKS!
I said the wrong word, but yes instead of a Phillips or flat head screw you could use a t-25, hexagonal screw or an Allen wrench screw. Something to make it more difficult for them to get off super quick
I have drone mobile installed in my 2014 Camaro (for different reasons). I’ll be having the Drone Mobile set up installed by the summer.
Very nice!!
Gd info thx alot
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the tips! Just ordered some security screws and a RFID box for my fob and garage door opener! Nice C7Z by the way! Lofe the white with red leather. I have a red C7Z.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you are keeping your Z06 safe! Thanks for watching - it means a lot!
Do you take the car to a mechanic/dealership at some point to see if there's any damage to the engine/transmission/suspension? Might be a dumb question but I would be worried they could have done something that doesn't show up until later and you're on the hook for it.
Great question, yes my car will go to a shop for material damage and then to a Chevrolet Dealership for Diagnostics. My car went from a theft claim to a theft/recovery with vandalism claim. I was busy last week so I will take it to my body shop to start the claim process and then take it to the dealership. My GPS was messed up and they probably need to reset the ECU. My car had 14 miles on it (that I can remember) from when it was stolen, to when it was recovered.
Some unplug the fuel pump relay if parked outside. Stated value insurance requires parking in a garage overnight or another approved secure location along with driving restrictions.
Good point! Thanks for watching and commenting!
The problem is what do you do if you run an AFM deleter like the range device and want to use the OBDII port blocker at the same time?
Not sure. Great question - I’ll research more and get back to you
Koby thanks for doing the video….any info for C6? I have a 427 that needs to have an updated system.
Absolutely, thank you for watching the video. I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to install the stuff I mentioned. I think most of this technology is universal. Do you have iOS or Android? I can recommend other products if you don’t have an apple phone.
@@kobyspurgin Thanks again IOS
The 2 beat ones are the last 2 you said, low jack & having the system to just grab your phone, go to the app & shut your car down & there’s nothing they can do & then mixed with low jack, call the cops say my car was stolen, I have low jack & so & so app & I shut my car down, my car is at so & so. I want a cop to meet me there to get it back. If they are even able to steel it from the beginning after adding anti theft stuff
I am glad I mentioned them in this video. Thank you for watching!! 💪🏽
Thanks I’m keeping my in the garage from now
Thanks for watching! It means a lot!
@Koby Spurgin , Someone, help me understand. A friend, and elderly gentleman recently had his C7 Grand Sport attempted to be stolen from his driveway. He was awakened by a neighbor who came home late and found the C7 in the middle of the street, driver's window shattered, lights on, no alarms, and car in Park, not running. No idea how car got into the street, and owner was unable to get car to recognize his fob, and couldn't start it, or even get it to recognize the key and allow him to put car into neutral and be pushed back into his driveway! Car has now been at the dealer for 2 months with dealer saying they can't figure out how to overcome the car's factory "Theft Deterrent Lockout" system. Car is basically "bricked". What the heck took place in his driveway?? What stopped the theft from being completed?? Why did they give up .. and what kind of damage did they do to the car?? ☹
Not sure - it sounds like all of the electronics were screwed. My alarm and onstar wires were cut!
Yup, just happened to me. At midnight Onstar alerted me there was a door entry to my Vette. Woke up at 7 AM, car was gone, glass on the ground. Check to see if I can track her, nope.
I call the police, and we look at the building security cameras. Saw the whole thing go down. Was absolutely sickening. I guess thieves can drive a 7 speed manual.
Im so sorry to hear that. Hopefully the police can locate it soon. This is big business, these aren’t all just teenagers wanting an adrenaline boost.
@@kobyspurgin Thanks Koby
I keep a Range Device in my OBD port, but I relocated the port with the range inside the dash, to keep from kncking it loose with my knee. This also keeps it away from programmer thieves.
Very nice! Thank you for mentioning that!! I appreciate you for watching the video and commenting
You should re-install a dummy OBD port in the factory location. $9 on e-bay
I'm wondering if you set your Valet Mode....are they able to bypass the code... if not this would limit some of their ability and access.
Great question! I don’t know the answer to that!
Had attempted theft last night. They some how got up in wheel well and removed wires to horn?? Broke the glass and luckily casino security was coming at them and they sped off in their car. So alarms dont help if they dont make a sound.
Yeah my alarm, horn, gps and OnStar don’t work anymore. Interesting that they tried that option. Might need to check mine to see if wires are missing
That’s my dream house! The only problem is driving out your garage door….
HAHAHAHA! Not my house
What happen to the good old chain to brake to steering wheel with a big A lock
Great question - maybe too tedious or they started being able to get around it.. tow truck doesn’t help that when they can just pick it up and drive it off. Bolt cutters too. These guys come prepared
I have that exact car. 2019 in a manual, which is something of a deterrent. Some old devices can also help like steering wheel and pedal locks.
I think a lot of people joke about having a manual, but enough thieves know how to drive a manual. I agree with you. Thanks for watching and commenting! It means a lot
@@kobyspurginbut everybody knows how to drive an auto. As with anything else it can be a deterrent to certain thieves
@@travisdurham29you’re right! I think it’s a good chance that they won’t know how if they were born after the late 90s. However they might screw up your car if they are left alone with it long enough!
@@kobyspurginif it’s an older seasoned thief then yeah I’m sure they probably know how to drive a stick but a lot of these younger kids who are out stealing cars have no clue and often times it’s not worth the hassle to them. Still take safety precautions of course but you would be amazed and how many people under 30 have no clue how to drive a manual. I get relatives and friends all the time asking can I drive your car until I tell them it’s a manual. Then it’s well can you teach me😂😂 not in my d@mn Corvette I’m not.
@@travisdurham29 that’s so funny and true! Some people don’t even care about “the drive” they just want to step on it; feel a sense of speed and then they got their fix
Onstar phone app, lojack, pedal lock, steering wheel lock, put car in valet mode. 🤘🏿
just shipped mine from LA to Baltimore so here we go. Bro those shoes......
I’m only school brother 🤣🤣
Great video. I wish I had seen it before. My car (2016 C7 Z06 daytona sunrise orange) was stolen on January 13th in Dallas North (Greenville Ave) and no news yet. How long after the theft was your car found ?
Fabrice I am so sorry your car was stolen. That is a gorgeous color. My car was located 18 hours later. I was on the phone with insurance making a claim and I got 6-7 calls from Dallas PD saying they found it. It was parked 3.5 miles away from where it was stolen.
Wow that was fast. I am glad it worked out for you. After 10 days for me, I am not keeping my hopes up. Just wondering where my baby (or parts of it) may be at this moment @@kobyspurgin
from your residence or from a parking lot?
From a restaurant parking lot@@s18018
Fuel cutoff switch. Just turn it when you go inside. They might be able to get in it but they won’t make it far. Found my civic at the end of the street maybe 200ft away a few years ago because I had the switch and hid it.
Good job on your part being prepared! I wish I was smart from the beginning!
@@kobyspurgin only reason why I did it is because insurance wouldn’t give me any value on the car even with the swap and parts on it to so keep my money mine the guy told me about it. Have one on all the cars now
They use something called a Flipper Zero or something like it to get the key transmission
Never heard of it! I will look into it!
Dang I didn’t even know they’re stealing vettes. Thought it was just hellcats
They are stealing whatever they can get their hands on. Hellcats, Z06s, TRX, GTRs and Cadillac Escalades!! I’m sure what they steal in Dallas is what they are stealing everywhere. They are stalking high-end apartments and the airport!
@kobyspurgin Kody, watchout for parking garages! Especially places like North Park Mall! I have a story to tell about a friend's scat pack that was stolen in July of this year from North Park Mall but I will elaborate on it later.
When I seen your George Washington shoes I immediately had to stop the video
Savage!!!! 😂 I helped write the Declaration of Independence. Show some respect lol
Any chance you’re filming the process of getting it installed? Would love to see process and get your experience on it.
I will film my experience once it's finished and installed, but I won't film where they install it 😉
Exactly. Why would you show potential thieves where it is
“Do not go at it alone. Do not even risk bringing your friends into it.”
Well that doesn’t sound very sporting.
They got my 2023 ZL1 in less than 10 minutes in Dallas right out of a parking lot in broad daylight.
Im so sorry Dustin!! I know that sucks! Exactly how mine was stolen
I got lucky and my car’s ACV was determined to be unchanged since it was only 3 months old.
With My 63, 68, and 73 They all have super lightweight extremely accessible batteries. If You go to the beach or say a park or anywhere. You can bring a small bag you can take the battery out with you. Park in Front of where youll be at. Remove a spark plug. Put a boot on it lol. At the end of the day only vigilance will prevail against restless theives.
Sounds like you’ve got some amazing corvettes!! I’m glad you have it down! I am generally not away from my car for too long, I’m either at the house, the gym or out for lunch. I have thought about the boot idea in Dallas haha!
Some unplug the fuel pump relay.
My C7 Corvette is parked inside a garage not attached to the house it is locked the fob is kept it a safe not near the car it never has set outside over night
Good for you Phillip! I am glad you keep everything safe! Some of those relay theft tools have some serious range, but it sounds like your key won’t emit that signal outside of your safe! Thanks for watching!
Those founding fathers shoes though...
Writing the declaration requires respectable footwear 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣I was thinking the same thing!!
🤣🤣TRUE!!@@kobyspurgin
What about a club for the steering wheel .
Many people have mentioned that, but I probably won’t.
This likely applies to a c8 too right
Very possible.
I would not want my car back if it was stolen. Likely got the piss best out of it at a take over somewhere
Yeah that’s common. I got mine back and it only had 13 miles on it. Mine was stolen to sell and thankfully caught it in time.
@@kobyspurgin that’s amazing! You’re one of the lucky ones. Beautiful car btw
@@jdunn938 I’m very lucky! Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for the video. White on red C7Z (manual) stolen tonight in Dallas 😭
So sorry for your loss. Have you called the police and let them know? Hopefully they will find it. Mine was dumped here: 130 Turtle Creek Blvd.
@@kobyspurgin Thanks man. Yeah thankfully there was an officer nearby and I filed a report immediately. It happened while out to dinner near SMU. Pretty sure it was from the remote signal. Did the police end up finding yours and contacting you?
@@kjanas4 yes that’s how I filmed this video with my car. They called me the following morning letting me know they found it 💪🏽
I wrap my key fobs in heavy duty aluminum foil works great When not I. Use. Cheap fix
Smart! Gotta make sure all keys are safe too, not just the primary ones haha.
The signal grab is not the main way the keyless entry cars are being stolen! Do some research! They are hacking the canbus with inexpensive equipment. Dont rely in a faraday pouch or aluminum foil.
I like your video, but most c7 comes with a reach in sensor, if a person reach in the alarm goes off
Thank you James for watching - I’m not saying that the alarm doesn’t go off at all, but they get in and shut all that off from their scanner/tuner. My horn, alarm and locks don’t make noise. Taking it to the shop to be diagnosed and returned to factory.
@@kobyspurgin nice video, I have had my car broken into the reason I said that, once the perpetrator broke the glass and reach in the alarm went off. so they ran but wasnt lookig to still it but looking for weapons which the AH did still out of my truck. GMC dont have sensors in the doors.
you can stop relay theft by simply having everyone put their keys into a faraday box, they are cheap and they block the signal from going outside the box, plus many now look nice and is a way of keeping fobs all together anyway.
We do that at the house, but when you are inside a restaurant or at a friend’s house it’s hard. I guess you could carry it in a small box
@@kobyspurgin Amazon has small key fob faraday pouches, two for $10. I bought a couple and tested it by putting the key fob into it and holding it right next to the door. It was not recognized even that close, so thieves would not find it from outside my house.
Alot of the drag videos i watch have removable steering wheels. Just a thought...
No airbag though
@@RustyZipper great point!
Can i get Lojack and Onstar at the same time?
OnStar should come on your car from the factory, but yes you can have both - I recommend that since thieves just rip out the OnStar module or pull your OnStar fuse.
@kobyspurgin thanks for your info. I'm thinking to do all of these options.
@@theshape6506 no problem! Keep your corvette safe!
Look into other gps tracking systems also.
Sorry but the FOB is NOT always transmitting. It only transmits when polled (usually by the car itself)
Yeah they got me in Houston 2019 grandsport the MF could not drive a manual so he only got away with a purse ! Cost me over 15k in damage busted out windows
Dude that’s crazy!! I’m so sorry that happened. I know that sucks, I promise you a $15k claim is a lot better than a total loss claim. Hopefully they didn’t mess up your transmission trying - based on what I’ve read it sounds like your lucky they didn’t take your car to the border. A lot of these cars cross into Mexico and are never seen again!
Great video but man those shoes and shorts lol
Im old school brother 😂😂 I love my loafers
Your Microwave is a great place to put your keys btw
I prefer to put food in the microwave ;)
Faraday boxes are cheap and effective
@@Gamesso1slO0l Amazon has small key fob faraday pouches, two for $10. I bought a couple and tested it by putting the key fob into it and holding it right next to the door. It was not recognized even that close, so thieves would not find it from outside my house.
Wish I knew this few days ago lol mines just got stolen
I’m so sorry you’re going through it. Where was yours stolen? Mine was dumped 2.5mi away from where they stole it.
@@kobyspurgin in Richmond VA, naw then been spotted all over town and maybe in DC now. I doubt I'll be getting her back
How about C8s?
They are stealing all of the corvettes. Just probably harder to remove the mid engine than the front. If it’s a nice car, automatic and keyless entry it’s too easy. The punishment is a slap on the wrist these days.
Is this a class to teach car theft techniques or help us keep our Corvettes safe????
I’m not teaching anything new - news outlets all over the country are talking about this. However the tech I mention is not taught all over the country, the only thing that’s taught is to rely on insurance and that isn’t always best.
@@kobyspurgin I feel confident that your heart is in the right place but you gotta think the crooks are watching and learning from these videos too.
@@mainbassss- you think they don’t know this already? 🤷♂️ Thieves actually be coming to RUclips to learn how to steal a car? They be searching naked Yoga instead 🤦♂️
I wish cars were available without all the electric crap, old fashion key ignition and locks worked well as well as hidden fuel or ignition cut offs
I agree! Crazy to think we spend all this money on technology and it sucks at actually keeping the vehicles safe. Manufacturers should feel stupid as well!!
Bro the shoes
George Washington would be proud brother 😂😂
just a regular c7 owner here.. LOL
One two buckle my shoes! Lol
Thanks for watching Fred!
@@kobyspurgin great review of the car!
@@fredwilliams7893 thank you sir!
The M7 is the failsafe lol
I know that’s been the joke for years but I’ve had a few people message me that their M7 was stolen as well. Not all thieves were born in 1998-2006 😂😂
Not anymore!!
It’s not. Is it more resistant to thefts than an auto, absolutely. Is it going to save you from an inevitable theft, no because there is still a lot of people who do know how to drive manual and are trying to steal cars. If you have a m7 out in public with no aftermarket security measures, you are at risk.
Manual swap it is the best anti theft device 😂
Not every thief is 15 haha. But generally yes, I agree lol. Thanks for watching Luis!
No sir!!! Not a true statement at all!
Would a stand-alone ECU give them trouble?
Great question- I don’t have an answer for you. I’m not that technical; would definitely have to research about it
You need a good aftermarket alarm along with something similar to IGLA.
Placed a Cut Off switch on mine they will never find it 😎🤫
Very nice!! What company cut off switch did you go with?
Jumped out of fuse box starter relay (-) wire w micro toggle switch
My car was stolen, they remove the computer and it was gone in 40 sec. 25k in damage.
Wow! I’m so sorry that happened to you! Did you see it on camera? How did you get it back?
I heard the police caught up with him last week. Had him blocked in
Are you talking about the guy that kept posting videos of getting away from the police?
@@kobyspurgin yes I was watching a video with him on it. I don’t know why my comment posted on this video
@@WhatupdoeTV313 No worries my friend! Haha.
My c7 gs was just stolen from my apartment
Nooooo!!! I’m so sorry!! Did your apartment have a gate? Get a police report and see if they can get some evidence on cameras! Sorry Russell!
