Solved I'm just sick !

[linnemeyerhere]

They've stolen my first car, my '72 240Z. Thirty six years I've owned and driven it and I'm a wreck. It was so much more then pictures can show.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Just over 1 year ago, I had my car stolen. It wasn't as much of a prized possession to me, but still pissed me off something fierce. At the end of the day, I did a ton of paperwork, lost a car and a bunch of personal stuff in it and got $1,000 back from the insurance company for it.

That's terrible Alan

Having your car stolen is bad enough to begin with, but to lose one you have been driving for thirty six years... the sentimental attachment cannot have a price put on that.

Fingers crossed for you that you are one of the lucky ones to have it recovered unharmed.

+1 to getting it back and thanks. It's so much more than about money, it's countless memories and good times even some awkward times........like I said I'm sick and the feelings coming up inside me are painful and I don't like them.

 

[Wordsworth]

That just plain sucks. Really, there's nothing else to say to something like that. Like smarteyeball said, I hope somehow you get it back.

 

[mickey megabyte]

my sincere commiserations alan - to have had the car and looked after it for so long - the *******s.

best of luck for getting it back - a car like that can't just disappear without a trace...

Sorry for your loss, Alan. That absolutely sucks big time.
As you say, it's not the money, but after 36 years, it's like losing a family member.:shock:
Sincerely best wishes for a speedy return of your car.

I hate thieves...

Sorry to hear that Alan, that truly sucks! I feel for you

I'm just not in a good place at the moment, very angry and I tell myself it's only sheet metal but all I can think about is all the memories and plans I had for the car. It makes me sick that it could be in a hundred parts by now.

 

[Ciara]

Oh hell so sorry to hear that Alan, lets hope the police get your Car back and put the thieves in prison.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

One can only hope. I walked past the spot where the car had been and it just seems like a dream. Something that's been a part of my life for so long and it's gone. I hope it comes back to me even if it's a new project. What I'm dreading is the Insurance Company and those negotiations if the car doesn't get found. When some jerk wad opens the glove box their going to find my registration slips dating all the way back to 1975......wow......like they'll even care that they stole an enthusiasts car.

 

[profdlp]

Assuming this just happened, it's too early to give up hope just yet. I'm not trying to sugarcoat your situation, but a lot of these things are done by nitwits who want to joyride for a while. After they've had their "fun" they abandon the car.

I hope you get it back soon.

Stolen Car

Sorry about your loss, I was a Lic P.I. In Phoenix for 19 years and if you have any leads at all let me know and I'll see how I can help. I am shocked because now days they mostly go after the news ones but being a classic someone is needing parts. If you kept it parked outside then they were scoping it out.

I still offer anything I can do from here.

Sorry to hear about your car Alan. From the pics she's a dandy. I sure hope you get her back.

Though it wasn't a car I know what it is to have somthing you've been holding onto stolen as I had a large portion of my music collection stolen some years back. Never did replace eveything and to this day it still pisses me off.

Anyway I pray they find your car and get it back to you in one piece.

Good luck.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Cheers everyone, I'm still holding onto hope but the reality is that like americancritic said I was totally scoped out and they didn't even try to start the car but rather towed it away in the dead of the night/morning. Early Z's are tough cold starts and even with the manual choke all the way out it must be warmed up for at least 5-10 minutes before things smooth out.......does anyone remember those days? God I already miss my car......my first car.......shit

 

[johnwillyums]

Very sorry about this Alan. I think americancritic is right, it's been stolen to order. In that case it's off the street being resprayed etc or broken down for parts. Either way, unless they bust the gang you're unlikely to see it again.
As I say, condolences. Can't imagine how it must feel.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I tell myself it's only stuff......which in the end it is, but as raw as it is at this moment and all the good and not so good times in it and about it I'm still grieving.....silly I know!

REally sorry to hear that mate - lets hope she comes back soon
