Wow, what a night last night... Thad (my best friend, member of this board) had his Mustang stolen last night from his front yard. The car was involved in a cop chase to speeds of 160 mph from here to Northlake Blvd. (about 10 miles) the cops lost him because of the rate of speed and then they found the car down there. They tried to use tire spikes to stop him, but it didn't work.
We got the call around 2 am and headed down there, where there were helicopters, about 20 or 30 Jupiter cop cars, Palm beach Gardens cop cars, and Sherriff cars EVERYWHERE!! We finally found where it was after we were blocked in a cul-de-sac by four cop cars!! When we got there it was ready to be towed, and the cops were telling us stories of how fast that car was, the guy ditched because he couldn't get out of the neighborhood. All in all I think he's very lucky to have gotten it back! He has to fix the front end, the whole steering column, lights, cancel all his credit cards (stolen wallet), and who knows what else because it was beat on so bad. We couldn't get it started because the column was in such bad shape! Check out the pics... The first ones I tried to take a pic of it with all the police cars around ( like 10 of them) but it was too dark!!

Glad ya got it back, Thad!!! When we find the a$$hole (we think it was one of his neighbors) he will get a little surprise!!!
