I guess our vehicles are high theft targets.......

I'm watching an 07 Yukon being chased down the 5 freeway headed to Mexico in a car chaise, they think it was stolen in East LA.

DANGET THEY COUGHT ME. Looks like my days are over. there goes all that cool stuff i just bought with the money i make selling yukons and tahoes. :sad: :lol:

Too funny - I'm watching that too.

(Note to self: get a life. ASAP!)

Oh man, I always miss the good ones... Maybe they'll show it again on the 3 oclock news. So did he make it to the border? Did they shoot him??

Onstar can track these things and shut them down when they're stolen, right?

It was a woman that stole it from a rental agency in East LA, so it would have been an 08 and they have a new feature I believe that Onstar will talk the car thief into giving up, which is what she ended up doing.

I work for a very large insurance company... it is actually very common for theives to snap off the OnStar antenna at step one, rendering the tracking and remote OnStar functions inoperable.

Save your money if you are expecting OnStar to replace LoJack on the theft recovery angle.

actully, most rentels DO NOT have onstar at all. when you order a fleet through GM you can delete options like that.

One blow crossways with a rubber mallet and a couple of snips later...

I don't have photos to post here since I would be breaking all kinds of rules to copy and paste actual claim photos. It all depends who is stealing your ride anyway... a professional or some wanna-be gangbangers on a joyride.

i think im gunna have that as a decoy from now on and have a new one put under dash or somthing like that. maybe under a running board.

but dude, that antenna is the toughest antenna i have ever had. i have gone in garages too low, and it has dented the garage door, i have even tried to rip it off my self prepared to pay for a new one, to see how secure it was. not happened, i have not tried a mallet but a hammer yes.

You took a hammer to it just to see what it can take? Mad props, I love such tests.

yes i really did. i do these tests to make sure i dont overstress the limit of little parts like these. as im sure i would scrape it on stuff like trees and such.
