Please keep an eye out for this car. The owner, Arun, is a friend of mine and has put A LOT of money into his car. Most likely it is in a garage getting stripped down and parts will be sold.

Please check this thread from time to time for updates.

And you'll probably get more time in jail that he will.

What were the circumstances of the theft so others can learn.
Was the car locked? In a garage? Keys left in it? Hauled away on a flat bed? Left running while he went in for a pack of smokes?
How did they steal it?

OK. I take it the car was on the trailer and hooked to the truck. No alarm so it was probably a professional.

Arun is a good dude... Running one of his custom cam's in my Firehawk... He is up in Canada.. I would bet that car is on the East Coast somewhere... That's a damn shame.

Check to see if there are survalance cameras at the nearby intersections or businesses. Maybe you can get a look at it driving away.

I still haven't seen any information on WHERE this was all stolen from. U.S.? Canada? What city/region?

There's a special place in Hell for f****in' thieves.
