I know a guy who had an old beater he was about to trade in or take to a junk yard that was stolen, he got it back a few months later, new brakes, engine fixed, repainted. Nothing like what she had happen, but still funny.
When my car got was stolen, I got it back with NO wheels, windows broken out, nothing left inside and the steering column busted. It was found in East St. Louis....blocked up on a side street.
