Dont flame me if this is a repost but I was just looking on MustangEvolution.com and apparently someone stole a windveil blue 05 GT straight off the LOT! The guy stole it from a dealership in Iowa and drove over five hours away when they found the car in Chicago. Not sure if its BS but still cool to hear. heres the post:

the one at my local Ford dealer... 4 days old, was stolen last week... they found it in Chicago, 5+ hours away... it's back on their lot... USED CAR STICKER... is that the first used 05 for sale on lots? It's a light blue GT.... BEAUTIFUL car. Funny thing, two days before it went missing, I made a joke to a salesman about stealing it... thought they were gonna question me

Haha, I wonder if they tell the buyer why it is "used"

Glad to hear that it was a dealer car and not someone's Mustang. Not bashing the dealers...just saying that I'd feel really bad if my pony busted out of its stable.

I worry about that too. Except in my case the old lady is my mother-in-law. She opened my truck door into a chain link fence once.

In some states (Oregon at least) the title gets branded as salvage when its stolen, even if it is recovered with no damage.

How do they get by the chip in the key? I would love to see a lock on the shift lever.

I don't worry so much about theft as I do about other things...

Today my wife told me that on the way home she heard a DJ talking about how he saw a woman take a shopping cart in a parking lot and deliberately push it at a BMW. (The DJ had the license plate number of the woman too...she actually called in and said that she'd sue if he released it) That kind of rudeness scares me way more.

Er maybe I'm in the dark here, but I didn't think the Mustang had keys with chips in them. I would think they would advertise that if they did.

Well, I live in S. Florida and this kind of news bothers me. Initially, I was only worried about someone stealing it by means of towing. I guess I was being a bit naive about it all.

I saw a picture here where someone had their '05 in a bubble in his garage. Someone needs to develop one of those that you can just expand out of the car when you park it.

I could go for a button like that on the key fob!

Okay, what are we missing here? How did this joyrider manage to heist the car without a key. I thought this thing had an engine immobilizer?

I was walking around my local Ford Dealership last night about 10:30 (well after closing), and when I walked by a row of SUV's (6 of them), I noticed that they all had keys in the drivers door key slot. Now, obviously this was a total brain fart on the part of the salesperson responsible for locking up the rigs for the night.....but maybe something like this happened to that Mustang???
