I was planning to sell the indoor cover but losing that jack hurts. I bought it specifically to use with the Boxster (it was super low and had a really long reach). (I really loved that jack)...

I'm in a gated community, and they apparently did this today sometime between 9am and 2pm. Looks like they used a crowbar to rip the key access out of the wall and then jumped the wires to open the garage. They also did this to 4 other units.

Oh well, at least they didn't steal my car!

Drove it to PCNA HQ tonight, did demo laps, and then had an awesome buffet dinner with other PeachState PCA members at PCNA's 356 restaurant.

So, I guess, despite the theft, today was a win.
Wow..sorry to hear man. Glad you didn't lose the outdoor cover too, or your car.

Thanks Boxtaboy!

Turns out our maintenance supervisor ran into the thieves and made them leave the property when they couldn't explain why they were here. No one knew at that time that they had already burglarized all the garages (they had moved on to another area in the community). But he got their license plate number (Home Depot rental truck) and we have them on video entering and leaving through the main gates. Police are hopeful that they can track them down and prevent this from happening to someone else...

Yeah, really glad they took the indoor cover and not the outdoor cover I got from you! The indoor cover was a prototype I bought from a local club member who works for Kimberly Clark - it was a really nice 4 layer one but it wasn't waterproof (just dust proof). It was really thick and took up about twice the space of the external cover. Oh well...
