Default Stolen! (Updated)

Well guys, this is now what has been found of my car.



That picture shows half trash, and it was taken after a whole trash can was filled. Only several parts are salvageable. Sad to see it come to this, but the detective (a friend of mine) said that they know who has taken the car, along with others, just cannot convict due to lack of evidence.

If you're interested in seeing a coupe pictures of my car and it's progress here is a link to the Photobucket album I made tonight:

http://photobucket.com/z20great

Of course, please call the cops and then PM me if you see or hear anything about it.

it's always good to think positive BUT the truth is that car is already in the paint booth or being chopped up or stripped for parts. if you did any mods, i hope you have all of your receipts so you can recoup your investment in mods plus the NADA value of the vehicle when you file your claim through your insurance co.

For all the parts I had on it, I only had liability on the car unfortunately. We've narrowed the location down to a small district in the southwest side of Montgomery. There is a ring of thieves stealing LS1 F-Bodies and we're trying to shut it down now. Definitely a huge bummer about the car, but I would really be happier if the whole group got shut down even if I don't get my car back. I don't want to to buy another Z just to have it come up missing once again.

Have you seen how they steal these cars? They use a tow truck. Kill switch is just another weight add on in the car.

Atlanta area watch out for it! Got a tip from a buddy saying that a car that looked like mine was hauling *** up I85 North towards Atlanta. Better description of it is in the OP.

There is a part two of that video. The police found the car with a stripped motor/tranny so it wasn't a repo.

If I had woken up at the time I was supposed to and caught them in the process, that's exactly what would've happened.

Damn Ilya, wish I would have logged in and seen this sooner. I'm a LEO now.

I'll keep an eye out for it, but by this time it's likely already stripped.

Sorry to hear man.
