You should have made one post with all of your questions.

It's very rare to have the GS stolen, the immobilizer is very difficult to cheat. Not sure if you can hotwire it, but other than a flatbed, I dont see it happening.

No problem man, I really don't have a gripe about it but you should be for-warned you'll be told to search. I actually think it helps reinforce what we already know here for new members, but who am I.

Any questions you have you can always pm me.

I'm not like some members here who ignore pm's; and the ones that answer pm's are usually filled with a wealth of knowledge.

I heard a while back that there were gangs out there breaking windows out and only stealing the car registration, and with that they get a key cut under your name with some one on the inside working at the dealer parts counter. This goes for bmw,benz and other high end cars,Best thing to do is to lock up your glove box or keep your registration in your wallet.

I'm assuming you've never been to TX.
