| Re: Stolen car
Steve,
I am so sorry that this has happened to you. It's unbelievable that your 40 will be able to be concealed for very long but it reminds me when my wifes car was stolen from outside our home - it had been watched for a while (the underworld here in the UK call it being clocked ?) and was stolen for a specific job. It took the police to bring in high speed pursuit cars from a neighbouring county to finally catch it, but it had done three raids in three nights under assumed plates before it was written off and the guy escaped.Ask the police in your area to make it known (they have ways ) that this is a very small world and a 40 cannot be used without drawing so very much attention. Try posting a reward for information - the police can normally handle that for you - We found out the name of the lowlife who took our car by similar subterfugue and he was found eventually by an offduty policeman who followed his father in the middle of the night to an unknown address.
Keep the pressure on the police- these individuals are not especially bright or intelligent and will often shop each other for a few dollars.
I guess it may be beholden to all of us to fit tracking devices on our cars - are there such things in the USA?
Can we have a full description of as many parts that you can recall so anybody trying to offer parts - wheels , tyres, engines, gearbox. whatever you can recall. There are a lot of people on this site who can keep a look out as well.
