Stolen: My CW 98-1040 last night at 4:20am in Cupertino/San Jose/Saratoga. The thieves couldn’t start the car. It might have been ditched locally and recovered with the car cover.

***Update*** Thieves were driving a two-tone white w/ silver Lexus GS with CA 5TUR984 license plate.

Call for help - this car is likely ditched under a car cover in the area pending a tow truck to part out.

Reward for any information.

Gathering photos so I appreciate patience.

-Black OE bumper cut for foglight brake duct install, not painted

Approx 4:20am. They couldn’t start it so they used the get away vehicle to push it.

The thieves took the car cover so it’s likely ditched.

I want to go John Wick on some fools. Wish I was up there to scout around. Post on Reddit and other platforms. I saw a story where a red NSX in San Francisco area was spotted multiple times after being stolen.

That's a great idea, on it!

If anyone's uncle is Liam Neeson....but I do like the John Wick idea as well.

Hopefully that 1999 Lexus GS 400 wasn't stolen. I'm assuming you filed a police report? That Lexus was last smogged October 17, 2020 based on a license plate lookup at the Bureau of Automotive Repair website.
