Damn as a new GS owner myself I'm sorry for your loss. I'll never start modding my car until I have garage space. That car is so clean I'd be vigilant in getting it back. Even though the fanciest alarm couldn't stop a tow truck some sort of gps tracking would be vital to recovering this car w/ only liability coverage.

Thank you all. I hope it gets recovered asap. Even if it gets a little beat up ill rebuild her. As for owing anything, no I didn't. Paid cash and bought from the original/1st owner back in july. Hasn't even been a year that I owned it. And they took the car monday..which is recycle day in my area. Didn't even think of that. Sons of *****es. Not knowing the fate of it makes it so much worse. When my Integra got jacked I knew I would atleast get a shell back..with the gs I can't even tell if ill ever see it again :/

The headlights are the green chrome ones..the previous owner swapped them out because they were getting hazy. If it gets parted im sure the interior will be first to go. Im just hoping to get her back at all.

First off, i'm sorry this happened to you. Sucky situation to be inEven though this is after the fact and it won't make things better and you probably already know this now, you should have gotten full coverage. Especially living in a state that is widely known for some of the most thefts/carjackings in the nation.
You paid cash for the car (don't know how much you paid, but assuming it was around 10K or more) so you had no car note, but you couldn't afford to pay full coverage insurance? That is high risk gambling right there with little reward.
I hope you find your car, but being that you said it was towed away most likely means that these were not some punk kids looking for a joy ride. Most likely these guys were pros and IF you do find your car, it will be worthless to you. But it is highly unlikely you will ever see your vehicle again. Not trying to be a debbie downer, just a realist. But, here's to hoping that it comes back to you in mint condition.
I can see not getting full coverage on a beater car that i only paid like 2K for because if it's totaled or stolen, it's not much of a loss. But on a luxury car like a Lexus where parts and repairs are expensive, and if some nutjob decides to be driving drunk one day and T-bones you, you're looking at a totaled vehicle or big repair bill for body damage and paint. Depending on what the damage is, a repair shop can easily present to you a bill of 3K and up for fender/body damage repainting. A $250 deductible with full coverage insurance sounds much better though.
We all want to save money and feel like we are "getting ahead", but somethings are just not worth taking the risk. Like the guy who says condoms and birth control are too expensive and he can't afford it, so he'll take the risk and go without them. Big gamble and a child pops up. Taking care of that child for 18 years+ will be FAR more expensive than a pack of condoms or birth control.
For your next car, i would definitely encourage you to get full coverage even if it means cutting back on some of the "luxuries" we enjoy each month. In my experience, Geico has some of the cheapest rates
