We all know, if a pro wants your vehicle, it will be stolen unless you keep it in a secure storage facility with armed guards.

Many years ago before cell phones, a local PCA member was out in his 930 and remembered that the next day was his wedding anniversary, so he stopped at the mall to buy a present for his wife.

He had some fancy alarm system that would send him an alert to his pager if the car was moved or touched. He parked in a "good" spot for not getting a door ding. He said the door to the mall closed and 30 seconds later his pager went off alerting him to a problem with the car. He ran outside and saw a UPS sized truck had poured diesel fuel on the ground, tied a cable to his 930, and sucked it inside the truck, lowered the door, and drove off. The alarm was going off as they drove away. No tag on the truck, and no identifying marks except it was brown.

He just called the police and his insurance agent. The car was never seen again. To top it off, he forgot to get a present for his wife and she was mad at him for forgetting.

He figured that is why he had insurance. And he ended up getting a new wife a few years later.
