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?

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.

I am not worried insurance, what kind of alarm does a H2 have??? It was broken into 2 weeks ago and just stuff was taken, alarm didn't go off, my Tahoe parked beside it the alarm did go off but not the H2. Just pushed in the lock. Now I go to a movie and come out and it is gone. Phoned police and Onstar at the same time and they can't find it.

Not much of an alarm, as in the previous post it is a preventive from non-professionals. If a pro wants it there is little yo can do. Secondary alarm with pager is good.

Sorry to hear about it, that really sucks. The alarm is very basic and if they pop the lock it will not go off.

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.

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.
