I feel bad for them. Usually it's the young couples that are hardest hit by something like this too. I hope they get it back soon.

I'll keep my eyes open... and keep my 99 white outback with 230K in the garage.

No luck so far. The police say it is either a Joy ride which they should find soon or chop shop which they may never find. Keep your eyes peeled , we have our fingers crossed.

Car found. It had 7 miles on the od and was left 3 blocks away. Candy wrappers on the floor leads us to believe it was someone in the neighborhood that needed a ride to the store and was too lazy to walk. No harm done to the car, no hot wire. How does someone do this without a key??????

It is possable that the person thought it was their white 96 subaru and drove to the store drunk with their key, got some candy stopped and stumbled off ... yeah after a lot of years and use the tumblers in the older Ru's are not all that specific

Does that mean that you change your locks every 7 years like you do with tires?

On the older cars it was easy to get a cylinder from a junk yard, key it and simply plug it into the harness and vroom.

When I use to work for discount tire, I accidentally used a toyota key to start a honda, maybe the tumblers in the cylinder are bad?
