I spent 9 months tracking down our stolen 1967 Austin Healey and then stood on a street corner in NYC posing as a buyer, while my husband sat in the undercover van with the crime squad.
I also found his friends Healey that had been stolen from his garage on a flat bed a year prier and we got that back too. No I'm not a detective but when I found out that this had been going on for years and how they operated I said no way are they getting away with our car. lol I couldn't even drive the darn thing, it was the principle.
