Stolen....

[HO455]

It's good to hear of happy ending.
The 68 GTO I restored for my mom got stolen by some crack head. The Vancouver sheriff's dept raided a crack house 10 days after it was stolen and they found the car in the garage. These miserable wastes of oxygen had put over a thousand miles on it, the front brakes were completely trashed and then maybe in an attempt to repair them they pulled them apart, painted the pieces green and then reassembled them on the wrong sides (drum brakes). The license plates had been swapped from front to rear and they rattle canned the whole car a kind of desert storm camouflage paint scheme in which they masked all the chrome and trim off except the GTO emblem on right front fender. When the sheriff's found it in the garage of the house it was covered up in a huge pile of dirty clothing. All in ten days. I got a call at midnight saying if I could come get it then I wouldn't have to pay the tow charges. I bolted out the door and blasted to Vancouver. The car started but was so low on fuel it would stumble and want to die on any turn above 5 miles an hour. I limped to a gas station and headed home with no front brakes.
