STOLEN Race Car - Found

Car Found

Greg just me emailed that the car has been found

Seems it was being driven on public roads and a good Samaritan called the police. The car was recovered and the driver arrested.

Minimal damage.

Obviously a great winter driver.

Sadly I suspect its already in a chop shop getting cut into small pieces.

This is really bizarre. A spec 944 isn't worth much in pieces. It a spec car, meaning no "race" engine, etc. It also isn't rare, so it isn't like it would be shipped out the country. The value is as a race car, and I can't see how someone could pass it off as another car.

Makes you wonder if someone took it for a joy ride, or had something specific that they wanted from it.

I hope you get it back in good shape. Sorry to see this.

The thieves don't know what a spec race car is. They probably think they have stolen a high power race car they can chop and sell.

That's going to be one disappointed thief -- the bicycle cops can out run them....

Hope they get their due justice....

They stole my moped two days ago from a friend. They made it only 5 mins away before ditching it once they figured they couldn't start it.

Thieves are dumb people. Bankers on the other hand....

Glad to hear that he got it back! And as WorkInProgress said, thieves are dumb people.

Thank God for dumb thieves!
