I will keep an eye out. I'm down in the south sound region. I have a 96 legacy outback and it has been stolen twice with multiple additional attempts since. Luckily I installed a hidden kill switch to the ignition that has remained hidden. I think there are people using shaved keys to get into them. First time mine was stolen they found it abandoned in Tacoma after someone busted my glove box open, trashed the inside and then used it to steal some items from a coffee stand. Cops towed it right away so i had to pay $300 to get it back and it was clear someone had been probably living in it. Took a while to clean the inside out again. The second time mine got stolen, the cops found it about a month later parked right up the street from where i lived at the time. There was no evidence that it had even been taken. I am guessing someone used it to car prowl and then ditched it. I hope you get it yours back and it's undamaged! If you do then you should definitely consider wiring I'm a kill switch. It was very easy and has worked great to prevent additional thefts from occurring.

You had to pay to retrieve your stolen vehicle? Now that's some BS

Yeah I was pretty pissed they didn't call me before having it towed. I could have come and picked it up from where they found it.

Yeah no shit! But the fact you pay is just asinine. Like my car was stolen... and now I have to pay to unfuck myself after already getting fucked? Seems legit 🤙

After mine got stolen and recovered I was using the key recovered with it — just a shaved down Subaru key. I installed an ignition kill switch in the glove box and kept it locked
