Glad to hear it's back in your hands! It makes me sick cuz theres no telling what they did with your car (especially since the rear tires are gone). Did they put a lot of miles on it? Does it shift well? Oil ok? Arughhhughh!!!.. I'd be going crazy but happy to have it back at the same time.

I am of the view that if 99% of us good lawbiding citizens took out the 1% scumbags permanently, our neighborhoods would be better for our sons and daughters to grow up in!!!!!

What happens to the MF'ers that stole your car? Most probably nothing! A slap on the wrist at the most. This is why this **** happens. I say hang’em that’ll end that bull ****.

OK, I've got to know how they are taking the vetttes. Are they defeating the alarms? bypassing the locks and computers that protect it from theft? I need answers!!! anyone know?

Excellent news! Are there any indications as to how the vehicle was broken into? How did they defeat the anti-theft systems (alarm, key resistor, etc) on the car? Would be curious to know.....
