[Scan-DC] Montgomery County stolen car chase

[John Bacon]

Doug,

OnStar will only do it if they have the service. NO SERVICE NO SHUT DOWN.

So with that being said it is also as good as the CELL SERVICE. If I am
correct they use Verizon. The reason I say that is in the OnStar guide I
have it mentions that you can add the Phone Service to your Verizon Wireless
account.

I happened to hear it also, while on the way home from work... stolen
vehicle was a Chevy Equinox (there will be a brief pause while you say.
"EEEEWWWW... who would steal one of those things?") and as Jeff mentions, it
was equipped with OnStar... but I thought OnStar also had the capability to
disable the vehicle?  Anybody know?

(There was a similar incident a couple of years ago where a GM vehicle,
seems to me it was a GMC Yukon, or maybe a Cacalade, was stolen somewhere in
NoVA and driven into MD, had a little kid in it... didn't that one end up
with OnStar shutting down the vehicle?  I disremember now...)
