Here's a news story from my neck of the woods. OnStar helped police recover a 2011 Camaro that was stolen at 10am this morning. Good job, OnStar!

Ahhhh, and mine just expired!!! This would be the only reason I would consider renewing...

That's actually a piece of OnStar I don't like... If someone steals my car, Im not sure I want it back. Especially not if it's gotta be put back together, or has an extra 500 miles of someone driving the piss out of it.

That's exactly what I thought about when I finished reading the story. It just seems like it would be very weird to see the car come back after some loser has taken it out and driven it god knows where and how. People are just so pathetic, go out and work for what you want.

Unbelievable. Armed robbery at their home, makes me wonder if theres no bad blood involved or maybe gang related.

This is why im considering getting a kill switch prior to putting on my 22's. Now after reading this i wouldn't mine spending 60-100 bucks on a switch.

Oh yeah, my trial periof ends in March, think i will keep Onstar $18.00 one.

Yeah, I would be a little worried about the condition of the vehicle when it was recovered, but that's what insurance is for. I am very impressed with the response time...especially since this is close to home for me. It's great to see a local example of OnStar working with the police on a situation like this. The car was stolen in Conway and recovered at I-430/Colonel Glenn in Little Rock. That's maybe a 30 minute drive if you're doing the speed limit, which I assume these guys weren't. Again, great job to OnStar and our local authorities.
