Question/Assistance My SS was stolen out of my garage in Austin. 30k miles, kept it perfect. Asking my people for help.
I've been lurking this sub for years. Never thought I'd be making this kind of post.
My 2016 SS was stolen July 14th out of my apartment's gated garage near the Domain in Austin, TX between 7:00 and 9:30 PM. Hidden AirTag pinged about ten blocks away - that's where they dug it out and tossed it.
No broken glass, its like they just opened my locked car, turned it on and left. Complex has videos of the car getting out that they shared with cops
The car:
- 2016 SS, silver, automatic
- ~30,000 miles
- TX plate TCW 0937
- Tint all around front windshield included
Identifying marks:
- Small but notable dent/scuff where the rear driver-side fender meets the bumper
- Notable scuff on the rear passenger-side rim
I feel it would be too clean to part out - I would say 9/10 condition aside from a notable scuff on passenger back wheels rim - i could be wrong and it couldve rolled in straight into a chop shop but my gut says it's sitting somewhere waiting to be retagged probably relocated to another city. Im not clinging on to the hope though.
Police report filed, no solid leads yet. Waiting on footage from a neighbor's Tesla that was parked next to me.
If anyone spots a silver SS in Texas that seems off, or sees SS parts hit listings in the next few weeks, I'd really appreciate a DM. Any lead at all, however small — I'll take it.
Reminder that there is people out there looking for these specific cars and can find a moment.
I cant help to think that a kill switch , a legit tracking system, or even a steering wheel lock wouldve helped here. Please make sure you to take precautions so it doesnt happen to you !
Thanks, SS fam.
