Glad to see it found, definitely salvageable from a RB install, too!


Just need some fenders it looks like. Great news!

There has got to be more to this story!!

Glad but confused
 

First, I'm glad the owner got his car back. I expected the car to stripped and never seen again. Karma will catch up with scum that steal.

This whole thing has me intrigued as well. Was the car parked outside? Did they get his key? If the car was in the shop, was anything else stolen from the shop? You would think that there would be just a pile of small, high value items worth stealing (tools, parts, etc.). The whole thing just stinks.

Hopefully the police investigate this thoroughly and figure out what happened here. Definitely seems like something shady is going on at that shop.

Oh I guess I left some key parts out. Car was parked outside the shop directly in front. The thieves broke into the shop, broke the lockbox, grabbed the keys, and ran away with the car.

Update: Shop had a few smaller things taken but nothing that can't be replaced.

so why did they leave the car on the side of the i5 where it would quickly be spotted / found? Did it break down? Did they run out of gas? Did they know it had been reported stolen / mentioned on forum and decide to ditch it?
Do they drop it somewhere and then a truck comes to get it before it goes to china?

Seems odd they would go to all that trouble to leave it on the side of the i5 ffs. Whoever they are I hope someone puts them and their scum families down for good.

Glad you got it back because when you have done a bunch of mods you are unlikely to get compensated fairly for them, unlike an oem car.
