about the gps units some insurance companys have them but they also track how you drive ,its about the size of mini amp ,an one would want the one with internal battery that can last for days after its stolen ,its my thoughtto put in the hardest spot to find ,,some new cars have them built in or as an option,anyone can install in in the car ,if in doubt have a tech place do it ,the pros have the tools to know if a car has the gps in it ,they would leave it alone more then likely move to one that does not have it ,your every day car thief would not know its there

Assuming the Vats system was in tack its mostly likely not a joy rider. A pro car thief can make pretty quick work of a Vats system but with the price of these car dropping I can not imagine a pro going after it. I would guess it was a hook and go. With tech designed for repo men the car can be grabbed in about a minute.
I wish you all the luck in the world but your car will be parted and chassis cut up with your LS1 6 speed will be in a hot rod by spring. The demand for LSX-6 speeds is so high I have been seeing parted out SS online with clean titles and no engine/transmission/PCMs. Which means people are buying running cars for the drive lines. Which would mean a complete under 100k LS1 6 speed can put 3-4k in a thief pocked. You would be amazed how little they can get for a complete stollen car.

Interesting theory, but not anyone I can think of. I would even suspect acquaintance of a not so close friend not necessarily angry with me.
