FOUND!!!!! Well by the cops, not OnStar!!!!!
It was involved in a incident, but not an accident. They were chasing it and it went through several stop signs and I guess they bailed. Its being finger printed right now and I can't see it til tomorrow. The cop said the only damage he could see was the door lock and ignition.

Well...........yes and no. The VAST majority of cars are stolen by "joy riders" and other assorted morons. They wouldn't know "On Star" from their a$$hole. But a pro? Disconnecting any alarms or trackers - such as On Star, is step one. Remember - if it is electrical, it can be turned off!
Ouch - sorry Black. Got good insurance?

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.

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

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.

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.

See? The Hollywood f()ckers will get ya one way or another every time. Seriously, that really stinks. You are making me reconsider our security policy here in So Cal. We lock up when we go in to the city, but currently, we just leave the keys in the ignition at home so they don't get lost. I LOVE small, rural towns! We never even lock the doors to our house! Even when we go away for the weekend or something, we leave the house open in case one of the neighbors needs something! Of course, having three hundred and fifty pounds of Rottweillers in the yard doesn't hurt. They look SCARY! Only the neighbors know they are loveable little furballs.
Sorry again for your loss. If you get another, install a good alarm with a pager. It is the ONLY way to go in a high risk area. Most people only get annoyed by the sound of a car alarm but, with the pager, YOU are notified and can "resolve" the situation.

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??

Personally, I'm not certain I'd want it back. Who knows what kind of damage was done to it, what insurance would do for you and what a pain in the ass it would be to deal with the insurance company. Get your insurance check for the "missing in action" vehicle and go buy yourself a new one.
Hopefully that may make you feel better about the whole thing!! Not certain what the insurance company would pay out to you but you may want to look in to it.
Sorry to hear about your dilemna! Go with LoJack next time.
