I guess I'm the 2nd person to think of that, too good to be true.

Hey, this is a great idea, too bad it wasn't thought of sooner but might not be too late?
From one of the forums I posted on:


"The owner should make a flier listing where and when it was stolen from, the VIN, a photo...and fax it to every body shop in MA and NH, and every tow company in NH."

Laurie?

 First of all.........I am truly humbled by the amount of support I have received.
The amount of emails, ideas, messages and notifications I have gotten in the last few days has been overwhelming.
Words cannot begin to describe how incredibly grateful I am.
I appreciate all that you've done.
Thank you.
There are so many sets of eyes out there looking in countless states, Canada and I even received a message from someone in the UK saying they are looking as well.
Word of mouth is truly an amazing thing.

 OK,
I went and spoke to my friend/owner yesterday.
He gave me a copy of the title.
The vin is,

JH23G3B305224

It has a 340 motor in it that is actually painted green.
Dual quad setup.
The original color of the car I believe he told me was red.
It has the factory slapstick shifter.
Fender tag is on the car.

 I'm still trying to gather more pictures.
When I get them, they will be posted immediately.

There is one possible lead that he is pursuing at this time.
I won't go into details yet.

 The owner,(s) also expressed their sincere, heartfelt appreciation for everyone who has helped spread the word.

Once again, thank you all.

 I hope the Challenger turns up. These cars are hard to hide so who ever stole it will never be able to do anything with it.

I really think getting pictures, vin, etc onto a flyer and faxing it to every tow shop in NH is brilliant. Lots of competition between those companies, wouldn't take much to get one to rat out the other.

Let's find this car, get it home to its owner, then geld the miscreants who stole it with soldering irons.

I've hit up 2 or three car guys in the Nashua NH area.  They are spreading the word as well. 

I assume there is a police report against this.  Do you have a reference or report number we can pass along?

I'm really pulling for you to get your car back in one piece.
