 I'll second what Dmjlambert said above. If you don't mind filling us in on some of the details on how this happened so we can keep it from happening to us! Anyway, congrats!

Re: Stolen....
This is good news ! Sounds like some idiot thought he could drive around in it and not be caught ? I mean really it's not like there are dozens of them cruising the streets anywhere anymore . And they don't exactly blend in to normal traffic like a Honda/ mazda/Toyota would . Thieves are stupid to begin with and this just proves that true . Hopefully he'll spend a lengthy sentence to reflect on his actions and how it affects good law abiding people .
I used to have a lot of local guys stop by looking for parts or help on their projects but after a few expensive tools came up missing all that came to a screeching halt .my gate stays locked anymore one or two bad apples ruined it for everyone . Now my properties have video and locked gates but even that won't stop them if they really want something . Good for you that it was found , It could have been found in many pieces or not found at all .

Re: Stolen....
This is so great to hear !! So I guess it was the dummy that stole it that was still driving it around
 I can hear it already, Suspect: "but officer I didn't know it was stolen I borrowed it from my buddy" Officer: "Where does he live ? " Suspect: "I can't remember, I think it was down that way"

Re: Stolen....
Wow! I was hoping for a good ending but honestly thought it was gone for good. Happy for you and I am definitely thinking more about anti-theft measures.
So what was the scumbag thinking?? Did he have help?

Re: Stolen....
I hoped for the best but thought that you would never see here again. I am very happy to hear it was recovered and the sorry sob was caught. Please post pics when you get here back and mugshot of the sob.

Re: Stolen....
Love to know the details of how they found it. It'd be gratifying if it somehow came back to all of the forum/facebook posts and someone called it in, but more likely a traffic stop or something like that!

Re: Stolen....
Great!
I've been following this thread daily hoping you would get it back but I admit I was doubtful you would ever see it again. Don't expect the thief to get any jail time unless he has a long list of other charges, then they will just combine them into one charge. They didn't even try the guys who stole my new crate motor. After I went to court twice they just combine it with charges they had in the next county, didn't even have a trial on my case in my county where the crime took place. I got a call informing me it was over and they were ordered to pay me restitution for my motor when they get out, yeah right. I on my own found the guy who bought my motor. I gave his name and address to the detective along with the numbers off my motor and a description of the car the motor is in, 71 Chevelle. They told me they had a detective who was friends with the "drug dealer's" mother checking on it, yeah right again. |

Re: Stolen....
I wouldn't expect much in the way of punishment, after all, 68 Iron lives in a pretty liberal state.
I am though, very happy and surprised you will get it back. Do fill us in (if you can) on the details of the theft and recovery. I've been praying for you and I guess God was listening but I wasn't the only one praying I'm sure.

Re: Stolen....
Was there any local news coverage of your classic truck being returned ? Any news on damage ?
