2023 Chevy Camaro Gets Stolen In Railyard, Recovered Thanks To OnStar

A brand-new 2023 Chevy Camaro was recovered this week shortly after being stolen at a railyard in Shreveport, Louisiana.
According to a recent report from local ABC news affiliate KTBS-TV, the stolen Chevy Camaro was one of five vehicles stolen from the Union Pacific railyard on Bert Kouns Industrial Loop in west Shreveport. The thefts occurred around 1 a.m. local time Monday morning. The grey 2023 Chevy Camaro was recovered by late Monday afternoon with the help of the onboard OnStar system, which remotely located and disabled the vehicle after it was reported stolen.
Caddo sheriff’s deputies located the stolen Chevy Camaro at the Centre Crossing Apartments on Centre Drive near Financial Plaza, and was subsequently fingerprinted and processed.
According to the KTBS report, the five stolen vehicles included the 2023 Chevy Camaro already mentioned, as well as two 2023 Dodge Chargers, a Dodge Challenger, and a truck. The report did not specify the make and model of the truck, but did indicate that the thieves used it to ram the facility gate, then abandoned the truck once the cars were out.
One of the Dodge Chargers was spotted when police arrived at the scene. The driver, however, managed to get away. Investigators indicate that at least five individuals are believed to have been involved.
It’s currently unknown how the thieves managed to enter the facility, as it is fenced and topped with barbed wire. Additionally, security was on duty at the time of the incident.
KTBS cites an unidentified source in divulging that crime at the facility has been an ongoing issue, with an estimated seven to eight break-ins occurring at the location this year alone. Crime was not an issue prior to this year’s string of break-ins. The Union Pacific railyard serves as a location where cars are offloaded from trains and transported to local dealerships for sale.
The report also indicates that, like the Chevy Camaro, the other stolen vehicles will be totaled if recovered, accounting for a loss of roughly $200,000.

What is Nicolas Cage’s alibi?
Why idiots continue to steal vehicles with onboard tracking systems installed is beyond me…
can i buy one with salvage title
I would take the camaro.
I would say break it in slowly but these units are toast. Fire sale on parts, if found. These are going to a chop shop(s) with a 2023 badge. Last unit year of these units.
Is this there subtle way of pushing OnStar on us in every way shape and form? I have a secret. OnStar sucks. They now track your miles, speeds, where you drive, but hey they give you the monthly progress report of your cars health. OnStar is in bed with Gm as is apple and android they have the audacity to ask you to pay to be tracked/watched and put in your mind sh!t they want you to buy. Thanks, but no thanks. New cars have OnStar for FREE for 5 years. I canceled my OnStar as much as I could. They still track the car and everything else still I’m sure, because it benefits them, not US.
I have a 2016 volt that had 5 yrs free but when I got my wife’s 2021 Trailblazer I only got 3 months of free service. That 5 yrs of free service for the volt is like you said. They track your every move to see how you’re charging your car and how far you get on battery power. Just to get stats. And oh ya. never bought the onstar for the wife’s car as i’m not letting them gouge me for all these little perks. And if they total that Camero after being stolen then they can total the trailblazer if they ever find it should it ever disappear.
If this article is a troll for us to pony up and pay for a subscription, nice try. I didn’t for 15 years with my last car and I won’t with my current ride either.
No troll. You just have watch what you say on this site. The truth will not set you free here..
I feel like was scolded for saying the truth.
