That sucks! From your work parking lot? Nobody saw anything?

Try finding a car just like it or a bit better. It depends on your policy, but when my sister's capri got smashed (not her fault) the insurance company (which was also her company) bought her a similar car (also a Capri with the same miles & 1 year newer).

I am so sorry to hear that. I assume you've contacted the police and everything. Is there any chance that there are cameras in the lot or cameras around the area at all? It might be worth looking into. I don't know really how different insurance companies deal with stuff like this so I have no advice to relay. I think you're on the right track though with all your records and receipts. Don't lose all hope. It's not like a stolen car has never been recovered in the past.

I feel for ya man... I really hope it was just for a joy ride and it turns up somewhere out of gas.
Good luck man... I really hope it turns up!

I think with the insurance company you need to have filed all your modifications BEFORE the incident because I know my company wanted to verify that all the mods were on the car rims, etc. You may have a hard time with them, because you cant' really prove they were on the car at the time of theft. Those pictures you have will probably get you money for the rims. I hope so at least. Again, sorry for your loss.

The way I see it you have two choices once you find out who did it.

1: the classic baseball bat with nails in it

2: the newer more durable aluminum bat

Which ever you pick have fun.

DAM Spin. I am sooooo sorry to hear about this. I can't believe how people today can have such little respect for other's property. Especially after all the blood, sweat, time, and money you have put into her. My condolences.

But you can bring her back with an even better combo this tme

That sucks man... hope everything works out for you

Ty'97Cobra · 05-03-2001, 04:43 PM

Wow, they sure got "lucky" by picking your car out of the many stangs that are out there.

Like Mustangbelle said, I'll bet it was someone you know or either recently "showed" your car to. Gotta be REAL careful these days...
