2011 Cadillac CTS-V Stolen 8.5.26 - FOUND 8.19.26 but destroyed

Abacinator said:
Out of curiosity... CTS-V is not exactly a rare or valuable car. Are they really making that much $$ parting these? I don't know anything about car thievery.

The coupe in 6sp is one of the rarer iterations. GM hasn't produced parts for that model for some time and the parts supply on those models specifically is low. ELR's are worse for parts; most get totaled out when in accidents based on unavailability of parts. 3rd gen CTS-V sedans can bring around $75K or so with mileage under 20K (used to be under 10K). The 4th generation's manual trans option made them highly in demand in the beginning, but the look of that car turned off many collector types. The Gen 3 is known to be the best looking CTS-V to date. Fingers crossed they get rid of the rear hatch back shit in the (coming) Gen 5's...

You think maybe enclosed trailer for less visibility?

If you are really paranoid or have something valuable enough get one of these:

It has a geofence option to notify you when it leaves certain area…..

Yeah, good thought. They acted more like repo guys...so flat bed like Mac said or trailer. Leaning towards flatbed now....also, good find on the tracker. Think I'm gonna get a few of those...my truck is on the list for the most stolen trucks...
 
I grew up with a guy that started a small towing company. He would tow-in breakdowns to all the shops and dealerships. I'd see him on the road at crashes, sweeping up and talking with the leo's. He also did a lot of repo's.
He was a respected small business owner... until it turned out about half the cars he was repoing weren't up for repossession. :laughing
 
The John Wayne Gacey of the Repo business....
 
Hi @budman is your "kid" reading this?

Last I heard they put something on Reddit and the rare car thing had KRON reaching out for permission to use it.

your call but: I think you/they should let KRON use that. (note I'm not even a KRON fan)

also: I do see all of your kid's posts on reddit in like 5 sub-cities, San Jo and such. There is one more section: r/bayarea - it has a VERY wide reach! Perhaps your kid didn't want to post in that section ? (I wonder if posting there would reach more the East Bay, but the negative would be... 600k more people could eventually know)

and at least one of them acted more like he got a gat on his waist.
 
Some updates.

3 people have reached out saying the same crew stole their car. Same white Subaru and 4 dudes.
Police now in contact with all 3.

Reddit person said they saw the car. Menlo Park PD to ask Oakland PD to check it out. Fat chance imo.

Do you know the time frame of the others? I'm sure some of those crews are getting multiple vehicles in one night.
 
Though it’s a faint hope, I hope you get your car back in good condition.

They can't use Flock?
Or is that only reserved for stalking girlfriends and ex's?
 
Our HOA has been used multiple times to stash stolen vehicles. Didn't get much help from the local PD. Now, we just do a quick ask of community and tow. Most often, car disappears when we place a sticker saying...We gonna tow you sucker!

Maybe the theft crew stashed your car in the open Budman. Crossed fingers for you.
 
I am now super pissed at both the thieves and Oakland PD. They were called the early morning the car showed up. They did not come. They were called again the next day.. Car still here. They did not show up.

The person who called and was watching noticed they dumped some trash curbside. One item was a letter to me which 100% confirmed it was my car. Fucking bullshit. Thanks Oaklamd PD. :mad

Sorry, the "new" Oakland Chief is 60 yrs old and came up through the ranks- I wouldn't expect much change. He's their 3-4th Chief in 5 years if that suggests anything. The ex-mayor got caught stealing, a lot, typically not a good leadership quality.

Has a 6 speed. Recaro seats and might just make me happy.
