That story sounds familiar. I think I read about it in Mopar Action a few months ago.

 :iagree:

I think it was in MCG a few months back.  Really makes a person sad.  What kind of low-life does this stuff?  How could he/she sleep at night?    :walkaway:

Thieves usually dont steal cars from the slums they live in but go to upscale areas to steal the cars they want.

 :villagers: And sadly the car may have already been parted out for it's valuable parts. To attempt to sell it would be very hard and very traceable. But there is always hope and we can keep this in mind as we attend various shows. Old School a pic of the car with that information would be nice to have if by chance it is still around.

that area is so well lighted, dead end street (only one way out)  people outside all night long and up really early...I was really surprised it happened there...
