and stopped at a shopping center for fifteen minutes on the way back from a car show
and both sides of the car were keyed all the way from the front bumper to the rear bumper..
this was on a new 16,000 dollar paint job. I was amazed that the car was even there at
all when he came back out.

I would actually be surprised if lots of GTOs are stolen... They aren't exactly low profile, and chop shops probably don't have an easily fungible market to sell the parts to. That's why I always hear the most commonly stolen cars are Camrys, Civics, etc...
I'm sure people would love to steal a GTO for the joy-riding aspect, but I would think the vast majority of professional car thieves would move on.
