$4700 in damages! The ordering has commenced, waiting for a tow truck to come and flatbed it to the shop for me now. I hate shopping for car parts, especially for things I already own/ed

Hell yeah that is great news! Seriously though, go to all of the local pawn shops with pictures of your s.hit and tell them to call you if any of it comes in.

well thats good, how much did you get it for if you dont mind me askin?

Bought the car for $3K, sold the engine and trans for $2k, sold the air bags and x pipe and headers and cai and other various crap for about $1,500. So I ended up making some money, getting an 8.8, new bigger and better brakes and suspension, exhaust, and interior for free.

Ouch man, but welcome to the club of 'stripped mustangs that get rebuilt'. At least they left a LOT of undamaged stuff. What didn't get jacked out of mine was more or less destroyed on the inside. (But they did leave my seats- guess not everyone likes blue.)

Basicallyeverything is falling into place to point the finger at the fact that someone decided they wanted my stuff, really bad. So basically they took notice of where the car would be and how long it would be left alone at my house, apparently traffic through my street has already decreased. It was more frequently traveled lately and when you have a retired neighbor that does yard work at his house all day, he notices, it's not like more than a dozen cars go down my road in a day anyway. They didn't want the car or anything that was extremely noticable, I honestly think the paint job saved the hood, and procrastination saved the Optima, since I still haven't moved it to the trunk.

It'll be back in no time, and when it returns, it will have a lil whistle!
