Mean people suck.

 

[detmatt]

That really sucks, I'd be pissed!!!

 

[72Fury]

Terrible, and the possibility of getting it back is near zero. Hopefully it was correctly insured.

 

[70NPORT]

That sucks, but I'm sure he'll find another one to buy.

I saw your headline, and thought "veterinarian" or "veteran", since the shortened version of Corvette is spelled "Vette".

 

[67Monaco]

Meh, he's probably better off without it. Ask Stan.

I remember a classic TBird that was stolen around here a few years back because it made the front page of the paper. The owner did get it back, but it was barely recognizable as a car by then.

My exact thoughts

On another occasion, a guy in Brandon was arrested and charged when he got caught trying to enter a stolen car into a derby! It takes all kinds

That one made the news too.

That's sad. 40 years with the car and it's gone. Probably in a container headed overseas by now.

I had one car (66 Dart) that was taken for a test drive and not brought back. I found it a week later and drove it home. The guy that took it turned out to have some mental "issues". He actually called me a few days later and asked to borrow the car. A couple years later I ran into him at a local body shop... He was trying to sell the owner something and he actually turned to me and said "This guy knows me, he'll vouch for me". It got real interesting at that point and we'll leave it at that.

A friend had a 67 GTX stolen. He thought it was gone and then he saw it out in a little town... He chased it down and got a plate number and called the cops... They recovered the car... It had been painted and the VIN replaced. The paint job was better than what was on it and the car had a couple things fixed. This was in the 70's and he still has the car.

Yes. It's unfortunate. A shame really.
But it's just a car. A phallic symbol. Arm candy. Attention grabber. Etc.
He's got money. Lots of money. He can buy another.
I feel bad for him. I don't feel sorry for him.

If it had been my car, I would wait until the forensics are finished, read the report, and say, "Thanks guys, I'll handle it from here..."

 

[Samplingman]

What kind of idiot parks a car like that in the street with nothing more than a car cover in the first place? He doesn't deserve it back.
