FOUND!

I have no other info except that they probably took the wheels (good thing I didn't put the longchamps on yet!) but I don't know any more about it right now. Was found on a major road. I have no doubt that the attention online had a significant part to play in their decision to dump it. Thanks so much!!!

Sorry to hear what happend but i'm GLAD you got it back!! Hopefully they left some good finger prints behind so they can catch the MF'rs.

I'm so glad your car was found.

Yay!!

Glad to hear it. There wasn't much they could have wanted anyway with such a high profile car.

congrats man. this always pains me to see, especially being a member of the honda croud where your car doesn't turn up.. and if it does, it may as well not..

Glad to hear you got her back. There were a bunch of us sharing your car info on FB hoping it would help. Time to park the car in the garage from now on lol.

Thanks guys! I'd like to say that I want to return the favor... but then that would imply your cars would be stolen!

No bueno!

I've decided to relax on the Corona for a bit... keep it safe and such... and finish the mechanicals on my Starlet. Then I can decide if I should sell my daily driver and restore the Corona. Decision decisions.

Thanks again!

If I had a choice between a Starlet and a Corona, I would pick the Corona. If you ever want to meet up sometime I would be down... Im just scross the water from you and frequent Seattle often. To be on-topic, glad shes home and keep her safe.

So glad you got her back, I live in North Seattle and loved driving by and seeing her perched up high in her nest. bold thieves. Anyone have a practical solution to this problem, I often look outside my place in the morning and expect a car or parts might be gone and unfortunately I wont be to surprised if it did happen, but I will be both sad and disappointed in people. what works? The club, boots, removable steering wheel??? what a hassle.
We should have a N. end meet this summer. see what comes out of the woodwork...
