Call COBB asap and report it stolen, if you still have the packaging make sure to give them the S/N or whatever they might need so the thief can't send it to them to be unlocked or something saying he bought it used.

Unfortunately you cant do much. The guy who stole it will need to pay $450 to make it work on another car and you need to get a new one
Find one used or check the vendor section for sales.

You're gonna have to contact COBB; the AP that was stolen is married to your car. So you can't buy (or install) another AP until the old tune/AP are still uninstalled.

a friend of mine had his stolen out of his STI while back.. Nothing you can do, since it was "married" to your car. Call cobb and ask, if you bought it from them they may help

If I'm not mistaken someone else had this happen to them and they had to send their ECU to Cobb to get it unmarried/rewrite-able or whatever

I beleive as long as you back up your AP to your cpu you should be ok, but you'll have to call Cobb for a new ap.

If the AP stores the VIN, couldn't you call COBB and give them proof of ownership of your car, so when the POS sends it in to be unlocked than they'll confirm its yours.
