Default Stolen -------------------!

I was standing there pumping gas at the gas station and the pump I was using would not let me use my credit card and said to see cashier...now I have to walk all the way in there to just get the damn pump to work so I decided that it's okay and I just grab a coke while I'm in there. Now, while I'm standing in line after using the bathroom to make room for the coke I can see this guy looking over my car and I'm like "he" like it so not much to really get me going over there to put a stop to this. Then as I'm paying I hear this loud noise and look over and see this guy backing up my car. I ran out of the store and just stood there as this guy made a quick exit onto the road leading to the interstate. I am very UPSET an PISSED that I can't believe what I just saw and heard. That exhaust sounded so beautiful and the way he hit the gears blew my mind as if he was driving a V12. I think maybe I should try and drive like it's stolen....
Thanks for listening....

You're one lucky guy. LOL
Between the vibration you say your Vette has, and the fact you got bleach all over the paint and then your top flew off, I'd say you're lucky someone took it. With your luck, you need to stay home, lock the doors and never leave.

I'll have to admit if I was a thief, which I am not, but if I was a thief I would have stolen it too.. Sorry about what happened. I would have never left my keys in the car, but I know many people do, and thats the risk you take. Hope it shows up.... or maybe not ? Might be better off taking an insurance check
