Camaro Stolen in Addison
Hey y’all,
my Camaro was stolen from a gated parking garage in Addison sometime between Sunday evening and today. It’s a Dark Gray 2018 Camaro SS with a vanity plate that reads SWRDFSH. Registration sticker on the window (bottom left drivers side) expired on 07/23 and has a small orange square sticker for the apartment above it. License plate frame is also customized and says “see you space cowboy”. If any of y’all in see it in the area please reach out to me on here or contact Addison Police. Thank you.

That's horrible. I'm sure the tag is long gone by now so it will be hard to spot. I live 30 miles to the west so not sure if I'll ever see it, but I'll do what I can do. I just put an airtag in both of my vehicles. Anyone who steals one is going to get to say hello to my little friend if I ever find it.

Sucks man. Mine was stolen this past Sunday AM in northeast Dallas from a hotel parking lot. Dallas PD pretty much said it's probably being parted out. I just got a call from the insurance company this afternoon and they're in the process of coming up with the value of mine since now they are just considering it a loss. Hope our insurance handles us for this disgusting crime that is running rampant in Dallas.

I went through the process a few months ago when my 2018 2LT was totaled. I paid $32K for it and the insurance company gave me somewhere between $28-29 IIRC, so I wasn't too bummed especially since I was going to buy a new one anyway. Fortunately I had all the receipts for my aftermarket parts and I challenged their valuation. I hadn't put too much aftermarket stuff into it, but I also produced a few examples of what similar ones in my area were selling for. I think they had a bit of wiggle room so if you complain they just throw you some extra to shut you up. I was able to squeeze another grand out of them so it's probably worth being a squeaky wheel with whatever they come back with. With Chevy not making them anymore I suspect they are also going to stop making replacement parts. I think theft is just going to become more of a problem. |

I am seeing the LT1s in my area listed from 36-41k with similar miles and in some cases even more miles and even with less options. I had just 24k on mine plus mine had Tech, RS, NPP, red calibers, center console lid, Bose. I really hope I can get a good offer so I can use that money to put down on another Camaro. Really anxious about this process, driving me crazy. I should know early next week. But, I do plan to challenge it regardless and send them examples of what cars are going for in the Austin area. I owe 27k and hope to get at least 37k for it. Really just wish the car never got stolen, what a mess this thing is. |

So mine was stolen in SoCal recently (a WHOLE lot of thefts since the beginning of last year, admittedly unbeknowsnt to me).
It's also very possible they are doing OBD II port hackery. Then opening the hood, pulling the fuse for the horn and the one that powers the OnStar system Mine was taken around 1:56 AM on Nov. 16. My neighbor's Ring Camera footage caught them taking my SS in literally a minute's time. I know for a fact it wasn't a relay attack (my car was parked a couple of blocks from where I am, currently apartment living), and there is no way they cloned my key, as I don't know many people at all in the neighborhood I'm currently in. So the only other possibility is OBD II theft, or they somehow scoped me out at the last dealership I went to for a warped head on the right bank (don't ask), but that is 14 miles away in my home region, and I'm still registered there with my original address.
