I hate having to say this every couple weeks or so but:

Very sorry about your car and I hope you find it or resolve the situation otherwise to your satisfaction.

Rx-7s are very easy to spot, open and take. They are not only rare and popular, but also known and liked by the criminal element. I was fortunate enough to watch my stepdad get about 4 Rx-7s stolen in a year while we lived on Miami Beach. I have also had to "steal" my own car many times so I know how easy it is. There are things you can do to deter theft, like the stuff mentioned in this thread, but never forget:

A towtruck CAN and WILL hook up to your car and take it in seconds, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. The car can also be dragged down the street with a regular truck, so they have more time and privacy to do whatever else is necessary. Therfor:

(This is going to sound harsh as ****) IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AT LEAST A TINY SINGLE GARAGE, owning Mustang, Grand National or Rx-7 type cars comes with a HUGE risk of theft. Sure, garages can also be easily broken into in seconds but:

1. No one will spot the car by simply driving around in the neighborhood.
2. There are a million additional things you can do to protect the car inside.
3. When your tiny dog alerts you that someone is ******* around in the garage and you turn them into pizza with the Mossberg pump, you don't need to drag what used to be a human into the house.

Here is an example of what can be done inside a tiny single garage, in addition to the alarms, cameras, dogs and guns:

(PLEASE WATCH THE END OF THE VIDEO ONLY - start at 3:45)

Very sorry again and good luck. Sometimes I seriously get a perverse thought that at least if God forbid they ever break into my house again, there will SURELY be one less of them ******* (I don't want to kill but I simply cannot risk retaliation against my family after blasting off each limb, or a dumb *** lawsuit by the robber, which has happened before).

Gotta agree with Torque South. A good alarm in combination with a shotgun makes for a strong security system. Even if they're unarmed, you can disable their vehicle and force them to swallow broken glass at gunpoint until the cops arrive
