Maybe the thieves did know how to drive a manual ? <jk>

Looks like your car's sw update prevented the car from being stolen. Tow trucks are hard to get down inside most parking garage. I've seen new reports where thieves are using an amplifier at the person's house... the amp picks up the CA signal and allows them to start and drive the car. The car thinks the thief has the CA key on them, while in reality the key is several hundred feet away in the house. Bottom line... IF someone really wants your car... it will be theirs.

Maybe put the car away off the grid for awhile. They might be coming back to check up on the car. Also... IF you have Nav... don't ever put your exact home address in. Lots of thieves break in the car... looking for your home address - only to come to your home a few weeks later to take your auto.

You don't really need to relocate the OBDII port... but you could put in a secret switch to remove any +12volt power to the port. I put some HD black tape over the pins/port on my car.
