Distinctive Cayman Stolen

[JohnCRS]

I would like to put the word around about a 2008 car that was taken from Northwood, Middlesex, on 22nd September.. This is a very distinctive car, being guards red with a sand beige interior, and has covered just 17,000 miles from new. I have not seen another Cayman with this colour combination. Options include bi-xenon’s, park assist, aero pack, manual, sports chrono pack, short shift gearbox, 19” SportDesign wheels, heated seats, three-spoke sports steering wheel and Porsche crests on head restraints. In addition, the Porsche Classic communication plus module was fitted.

As you might expect, it is in exceptional original condition and has probably been stolen for a collector. Nevertheless, if you would be kind enough to mention it in conversations about Porsches, it is such an unusual car that it would stand out if it appeared anywhere in public. Please contact me directly if you have information or require more details. Thank you.

Funnily enough John I’ll be in the area for a family birthday party on Saturday and will keep a look-out just in case it’s still around, although I doubt it. Unfortunately most likely it’s now in bits with the parts for sale on eBay, which is where the owner needs to be researching for any flurry of activity on 987.1 Cayman parts.

Such a shame because it looks to be a very nice example of a late Gen1 Cayman S.

Hi Geoff, its such a distinctive car that I rather suspect it has disappeared for now into a collectors garage somewhere. Such a low mileage example and the sand / beige interior is quite rare on the Cayman. I have never seen it matched to guards red before.

I am delighted to report that the police have recovered this car.

Be interested to hear how the crooks managed to take the car. ?
any damage / parts missing on recovery. ?
Views on hiding an AirTag in the car.

How many porsche owners use a disklok to protect their cars ?
Not too many I guess.
Just get one, they’re not cheap, but a good investment.
All other mechanical locking devices on the market, are child’s play for serious thieves.

Hi Zak

I use a disklok and it's great, also recommended by the Police as a deterrent

 

[Scrounger]

All my cars have diskloks.

I have steering wheel to seat belt lock on my cars:



Cheap and cheerful but as a deterrent they do the job.

Disklocks on both our cars too as they live outside and are very eye catching (bright colours). Anything to prevent a possible theft.
