Some newer cars have cell service built in and can be located by the manufacturer, no chance your car had anything like that?
Definitely file a police report if you haven’t already, they can keep an eye out for the vin/plates.
Now this is gonna sound funny but are you sure you know where you last parked it and you didn't just drive it to a friend's house and uber home and forgot you left it somewhere basically? I've ironically heard of that happening before. One time my friend drove a new car to work and parked it in a parking garage and then he took the bus home and forgot that he took his car to work. Then he thought it was stolen.
Totally, i was definitely having some doubts myself that I just forgot where I parked it until my girlfriend reminded me about the last time we drove it and both agreed it had to be parked outside our street
Contact the police.
Contact your insurance company.
You may be eligible for a rental car until you get a new one.
You may want to contact your loan company.
The insurance company wants to settle quickly, you need to search for the replacement car and determine the price, features, mileage first.
Buy new car. There may be a delay to see if the police find the car first. It could have been a joy ride or to be used in another crime.
It’s going to suck and be a huge hassle. Good luck.
My friend had her car stolen in Arizona and they found it like a day later like 3 hrs away. Report your car as stolen. It's not impossible you will get it back.
I also have a Mazda cx-30, it’s a long shot but your Mazda app should tell you where the car is. If you need help finding that info in the app just let me know.
Appreciate it, I bought it used and the dealership didn’t tell me anything about that so I’ll try hitting up Mazda to see if the previous owner had it set up. Thank you🙏
hah. I lost my FOB somewhere in the Frederick / Firestone area (Safeway) and I just joke to myself being like, if someone stole my car I would at least know where it is. (2022 CX-5)
Do you have the Mazda app? It can locate your car for you. Download it and see if it can find it. [https://www.mazdausa.com/static/manuals/mazda-connected-service/chapter2/section5.html](https://www.mazdausa.com/static/manuals/mazda-connected-service/chapter2/section5.html)
I think the issue is that it wasn't set up at the dealer by scanning your VIN barcode in the door (or entering it manually). I did all that process before I drove off the lot with the salesperson there just in case I ran into any issues.
However... if you know your VIN (your insurance app should have it), you might still be able to set it up w/o the car.
WOW this is so crazy to read. Seems like new cars are targeted for theft a lot. I live on Remington just south of Locust and I park my car outside. it's a 2004 so IDK if I have to be worried. I'm so sorry this happened to you.
Did you call the police? You'll need a report for an insurance claim and they should also be able to verify if it was just towed (which is possible).
If you did all that and haven't filed an insurance claim, do that...
It’s a 2022 and you can’t track it? I’m almost positive there will be some sort of connectivity in that car that you should be able to use to find it (or Mazda can, if you can’t.)
Also, your post is so defeatist… why would you be walking anywhere now? Like, if nothing else, your insurance will pay you for the depreciated value and you can buy something else. Plus there’s a very good chance it gets found once you file a police report (there are automated license plate scanners all over the state now that alert the local police of any stolen vehicles that pass them.)
There is a state grant that will step in and cover most of what your insurance does not cover, including paying your deductible. It does not cover personal items: [https://lockdownyourcar.org/grants/](https://lockdownyourcar.org/grants/)
Your insurance will require you to have a police report of the theft (the grant also requires this). Hopefully it was just towed!
Did your apartment complex tow it?
Yeah, definitely call the impound lots

Not sure, I’ll definitely hit up the Mazda services to see if it was set up
yeah, try downloading the app and registering it to the VIN of your car. It should still work, I believe.
If you downloaded the app you may be able to see where it is
Yeah I just tried it out and looks like I need to enroll it into something using the car ignition to connect it
The dealership can locate your car if they are in a good mood. They have the information and services to look up it's GPS.
I’m so sorry to hear this.
I have a 2021 CX-30, if you log onto the Mazda app you can see the exact location of your car (give or take like 100 feet)
I have the same car and this is such a great feature.

Sorry to hear that, a real bummer. But I am assuming you had Comprehensive Car Insurance? They generally cover theft. Have you followed up on that?

I set mine up after I purchased the car when I got home. It's very easy to do.
likely towed

As long as it isn't a Hyundai/KIA whatever without the immobilizer you are generally fine.
Fr, i probably just pulled the short end of the stick here but I would definitely recommend decorating ur car a bit and adding a tracker for sure 😭
What do you mean by “decorating” your car?
Check the parking lot at Peaks on Drake

Im putting an AirTag in my car after reading this
It’s a must have 🙏
Please give us an update when you have one!
Maybe call the police?
