Default Yay!!! Stolen jeep recovered!!

Hey all, my jeep was stolen 2 days ago from my house in broad day light. Just got a call from Police Department said they found it in a "wooded area behind a dog park" guess some punks decided to take it off road for a joy spin or something. Anyways going to go tomorrow and see the condition of it, PRAYING its not bad...
Oh and tomorrow is my 18th birthday so its like double the birthday lol anyways thanks for reading my rant. Good luck guys.
This is in Boca Raton by the way. just thought i throw that out.

Unfortunatly, they burn it to the ground to destroy evidence.

yeah, we were wondering what the did to have to burn it! most joyriders just ditch the ride in the woods.

freaked me out though, cause the guy lives in a nice neighborhood and he was home when it happened!

My JK has no such thing, at least as far as I know. I have no chip or anything just a standard key. I guess the only way to find out is go make a copy of my key at Home Depot and see if it works or not.

BTW sorry your Jeep got stolen. Glad you have it back though. Hope it's in good shape still

Hope it turned out ok. I go to school there, so how close are you to FAU? Wondering if I should be concerned, and add a shock (big, but not deadly) to the driver if a new alarm is not disabled...
