Not that much more to tell - one funny thing was that it weren't no Porsche.
It was some real beater. She would wake up in the morning, find her car
gone, and know exactly where in town to find it. The police did nothing
about it. Frankly, I don't remember how she ultimately resolved it - I
think she let him keep the car, and she bought another one.
I live in a place where you can leave the keys in your car and your wallet
on the dash, and you don't have to worry so I don't know too much about all
these fancy devices. Once, though, when visiting in the Washington DC area,
I left my car unlocked out on the street. In the morning, every car on the
block had the drivers side window smashed out and something stolen from
inside the car. Every car but mine, that is. The bottle of orange juice on
the front seat was warm and half gone anyway....

Chris, this sounds wild. Can you tell us more about this?
I remember reading in Road and Track or C&D many years ago about a reformed
car thief recounting his escapades. He said he repeatedly stole a Porsche
from one enthusiast. The owner eventually built a wall around his driveway
and the thief said he rented a crane to lift the car over the wall. Hard to
believe.
