Sweet - remember there could be damage the cops cannot see. You never know what these s h i t bags do. look at the underbody. CHECK EVERYTHING!!!

Good to hear you got it back.

Yes I will check everything, I will let you know.

The alarm with the pager is a great idea, but having a visual deterrent like the "club" doesn't hurt. I also placed thosed Onstar stickers on the windows just in case. The JC Whitney catalog also contains a whole lot of gadgets you might want to consider. good luck for next time.

WOW! I just read this but glad to hear it was found! If you do get an alarm consider getting a commercial alarm or an alarm with a back up battery system not connected to the
vehicle's electrical system. A practiced thief will crawl under your car and cut the car battery's ground cable; this will disable nearly every car alarm ever made.
A while ago I almost purchased a metal box that protecdted the battery. It seems the bastards would drill right through your fender and into the battery draining the power so they could tow it away. Either way a backup battery system may be a good thing. I may have the VISION GUARD 6000 installed. It will snap a picture of the thief and send it to your key fob remote. You can also snap a picture at will!
It's also a remote starter.

Sorry to heard bud! I've been broken into twice. (Las Vegas) Once in my guard gated driveway (window smash and grab) The second was at a local mall that I NEVER go to. Well almost never. They A-holes went in under the door handle surround and popped the lock. Took both TV's and a few other expensice items. The cops and my local bealer said they see about 4-5 a month then usuall a spike of 10 over a weekend. These a-holes know what they're doing.

I've heard many mixed stories and claims about devices that are supposed to deter...

I thought the scty system inside the key ignition itself was supposed to be a good deterent.

Any ideas on products? What about the device that hooks onto the steering wheel AND the brake pedal?

Also, if you VIN number in your windshield isn't covered up, people can take that and make a key for your H2. I've heard a same story about the numbers on your key itself.

What's the story with onstar? Was it dis-abled? Is that why onstar couldn't find it?

This system will call your cell phone and tell you where your vehicle is. http://www.kickyride.com/gps2000.html

I will let you know what the story is with the On Star when I get to see the H2. I asked On Star if they removed the antenna if they still could located and they said they should if it is in a good reception area.

Thought Canada was safer, hmm well good to see they found it. What is On-star's policy, I did not know they would help find stolen vehicles??? Can't they disable engine remotely??

That would be a liability nightmare for them.

OnStar is totally useless in some areas. They can't locate my truck in my driveway, but they can locate it in other parts of town. And the ironic thing is that they can locate my husband's truck in the driveway, parked literally 8" away from my H2!

Can someone verify if you can get a key made by having a VIN?

Well went and looked at my H2 at the salvage compound and the plastic around the steering column was broken, put my key in and everything works fine. Push the Onstar button and they answered and told me where I was. I said correct and this is a stolen vehicle and you are suppost to looking for. Oh? she said. Well long story short they don't know what the problem is. The antenna is fine, no fuses pulled, it doesn't look the hood was opened. They didn't put more than 10 miles on it.We are going to phone Onstar this evening as see what they have to say.

Ok phoned Onstar from home and asked if they can make a connection, they said yes, everything is working fine. They located it. So this is my theory, they steal a vehicle, drive it to a underground parkade, wait 48 hours ( because thats how long Onstar will attempt to track) then use the vehicle in a crime.

Glad to hear most everything is fine and I bet you are right about driving it to some place to hide it for a while.

Daveh2, as far as I know you can but it isn't easy for somebody without connections to get one made.
