That's great   :woohoo:  It'd be interesting to know how the find came about. Was it random, did someone from one of the boards spot it, did an accomplice rat the thief out.

Awesome news.  And waiting for the back story.  I think we can all learn how to protect our own cars by learning from others.

Thanks everyone.

 He's bringing the Chally down my yard any minute, so I should have more details on what went down, but the first thing he said was to please post up on cuda-challenger a heartfelt thank you to all of you for spreading the word and taking the time to help.  :2thumbs:
 So far, I believe she was found in Manchester, NH and two arrests were made.

 I"ll keep you all updated.......

Shot while trying to escape would have been better, but arrests are OK, I suppose  :bigsmile:

Well, she's pretty much back in one piece.
Looks like the tranny and rear end may be shot, as well as a few dents here and there, but overall couldn't be more happy for him  :2thumbs:

Holy crap.  I'm in Manchester.  Now I really need to know what went down.  Not the kind of car that would go unnoticed.

I'm really glad they found it.
