A long overdue update:

Car hasn't really moved since recovering it, been sitting at my inlaws. Pulled it into garage and yanked the busted column out, havent been able to find a replacement column+keys yet.

The fool who stole it and stripped the parts posted them on craigslist 2 days later. Investigator tracked down cameras where the car was parked, and where he abandoned it, clearly showing this clown walking up, driving away, and then ditching it in the ghetto (couple blocks from his house)hours later and walking away. Retard even posted the c-list ad from his own computer, the IP address and cell number both were in his name.

He accepted a plea deal, will be in the slammer for a couple years (of course, he did this while on probation so theres another felony). At least I get the amusement of knowing this guy was so dumb he'd trade 2 yrs of his life for less than $200 in parts.

I like stories that end with something resembling justice. Thanks for the update.
