[e30construction]

nice car hope it gets located..e30's are becoming the new wanted car it seems..oh and a quick question what or who is vlad?

[Gruelius]

if the shop had possession of the vehicle as others have mentioned i am fairly sure the shop is liable in this case...

[rob-redm]

Any updates? Do the police have any leads?

[Luis325]

this is not a car that a police cruiser can drive past and not notice like a grey civic. our cars stand out like a sore thumb. that car is stashed or on it's way out of state, maybe on a container ship.

Or be painted another color and re-sold...
Ive seen a few e30's with swapped vins in PR... Crazy shit..
Really sucks for the owner...hope it was insured. :(

^ true ^, In a shipping container, down at the seaport in Elizabeth on it's way out of the country. No lojack? kiss it goodby, because you'll never see it again. I know a guy who went to his storage unit to take to take his early 60's vette for a spin, threw open the door and it's GONE! activated his lojack and thats where police found it, in a shipping container, in the hull of a ship
EDIT: Forgot to mention, IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB, the guy at the storage units got arrested and went to jail. and now the guy keeps his car elsewhere! and now none of the guys friends or family (or online friends) use that scumbag storage place anymore. (true story)

I hope those thieves suffer some tragic consequences. Good luck. Keep us posted on the situation.

^ careful, bud.

Whatever the story turns out to be, I'm hoping for recovery, or at least insurance so you can start over. Good luck.

[Badgtho]

In all honesty. Does Vlad have extra keys?

Sorry to hear about this. Best of luck.

Was anything else stolen at/from the shop? Maybe inside job? Those are the first things I would check. Also, is there any survaillance at said shop ie, cameras, guards or guard dogs?
I would think that with a high end shop like Young's, bringing in full restoration of cars type of money, there would be alarms or more security set up to cover such events.

Just throwing my $0.02 out there, good luck OP.

Best of luck! Hopefully the shop is insured.

x2. Shouldn't a shop's insurance plan cover this? Especially a shop like Vlad's that houses some rare/expensive cars.
