WOW! At 3:30 this morning an Investigator for the San Leandro Sherrif's Office called us to let us know that they found the car!
Believe it or not, my hubby's car fell victim to a crew of pro theifs in San Mateo that have been under survelliance for quite awhile. Initially these guys were just stealing hopped up fox body Mustangs around their area, but the heat got onto them so they started stealing vehicles 100+ miles out of the area. I guess they normally steal the cars at night and roll them onto the trailer so they never even turn the cars on!
Anyway, they found the car in a garage pretty much stripped.. The racing seats, pedals, steering wheel, and other miscealleanous parts laid on the floor by the car.. The front and rear suspension are gone and unaccounted for.. The engine was on a cherry picker, we aren't sure if it is HIS engine or one from a stock one cuz they replaced the rear suspension with that of a stock Mustang... Maybe to keep the car as a rolling chasis so they could dump it later?
Anyway, hopefully we get her back soon! Thanks for all your prayers and such!
P.S. They've got 4 people in custody!

You should have him take pics of the restoration process.

I hope they "fry" for it....I'm amazed that you recovered the car - I would have thought it would have been lost forever in a million different directions.
