Theft Recovery
Well, attempted theft. And while unsuccessful, they did manage to make quite a mess of it.

Re: Theft Recovery
Looks like the work of amateur idiots. It's easy, just like in the movies. Smash the crap out of the steering column and rub 2 wires together and away you go. NOT.
Obviously they did far more damage than the value of anything they stole. Manual conversion too, what a bummer. Last edited by Blacky; 12-17-2015 at 06:04 PM.

Re: Theft Recovery
Ah, sounds like my GMC 4x4 they tried to steal one snowy night. They broke the window, hot wired the ignition but it wouldn't start so they left it.
It was my secret kill switch. You had to crawl under the truck and tap on the starter with a hammer to get it to spin. A couple of weeks later the dealership called and said the truck was all fixed but it wouldn't start. Sadly they wouldn't replace the starter as part of the insurance job.

Re: Theft Recovery
Well here's the replacement for now. Needed more room and towing capacity.
When it's time for another SVX I will take the time to find a pristine garage queen
