Can't wait to get her back.. we're figuring we'll nic name her "Chance" you know.. whats the CHANCE we'd find her again!!! The guy who has it impounded says' Paint is great.. no rust.. no dents...interior is good .. factory ford rim's and all good rubber.. in his words a "real nice car".. anyway.. just had to brag and as soon as she's home with a coat of wax ( and of course a new ignition LOL .. we'll be posting pics... ..Take care and safe driving

Just a question... she's coming home tomorrow and aside from locking her up in a storage unit.. anyone offer any suggestions on keeping her safe?

Welcome to the forums! You may want to get an alarm installed on that thing since someone stole it once before! haha. But a cool story nonetheless.

Just an update... hauled our pony home this afternoon..almost brought tears to our eyes to see that she didn't have an easy life like she did at home.. covered in cigarette butts and fast food wrappers.. bad pinstriping and terrible window tinting .. yuck.. a little surface rust ..she needs a tune up and a very good cleaning... sadly 106000km more than she had when she was stolen... but happy to have her home nonetheless..and once I've figured out how to post pics I'll post a few of the early before and after shots ( pulled the pin striping and window tint off right away.. gave her a good washing and a very good vacumn job lol)...

I am glad you got her back. I don't know what is worse, someone stealing your car or someone with no taste stealing your car and trying to do some imbread modding like that.
