Change the locks, then have the lexus dealer that your car is at make some inqueries to find out if any keys were ordered while it was stolen...and then change your locks

See.. told yah.. someone is takin it for a ride... I am very happy for you buddy!! it has happen to me a lot (well not a stolen car) but it does make me appreciate it even more. Cherish this moment and all tha best ...

Friday: Don't have the car yet, but its getting cleaned and detailed at the lexus dealership. My mom went to the DMV today because there was no license plate on the car when the police found it. Hopefully ill have it tomorrow. Everything was still intact, which was strange but great, and the stereo was still in there.

That's what a forum such as this is for - to seek and give advice - not to hurl insults at others. I too am impressed with the level of respectability and courtesy that the moderator of this ES forum and those of the other model forums demand of the members.

Glad to hear you got the car back and it all worked out with minimal hassle. Did the police fingerprint the car when they found it? Maybe the person who stole it has their fingerprints in the data base. Hopefully they did and they find a match. Let those bastards pay...

Wow $3000 to replace/reprogram the computer, and new sets of key's??? Seems pretty steep for that. Glad you got your car back.
