I feel your pain, I bought a brand spankin new 91 LX back in the day with the Dark Emerald Green metallic paint, titanium leather interior factory sunroof and equalizer. First year for the pony rims and this was before Ford painted Tarus and Explorers that color so the car stood out quite a bit. It got stolen twice in two years, the second time they had it 18 months and they found it with 20,000 miles more on the odo, with a stolen 240 horse 351 from a brand new Lightning in the engine bay. After all the storage and impound fees I never got it back ( they impounded the motor as well Aw shuchks) The kid did go to jail instead of ratting out on the people he was working for, the police found my mustang and two others plus the lightning all torn apart in his backyard

I saw the car the first time and almost sh#t my pants when I saw the 5.8 sticker on the valvecover, too bad they had not got it running yet based on what I saw, the truck intake is too tall, and points the other direction, they had already moved the battery to the other side etc, but wires everywhere not hooked up. If the motor was not traceable I could have kept it

I bought the farm with insurance too, very painfull I had lojack, worked well the first time, second time no luck.
