Ahhh another bored day at work. I whipped up a quick email and sent it to 6 different deptartments within Sac Sheriff, including the webmaster.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To whom it may concern,

I'm a member of www.i-club.com, a subaru enthusiast club, moslty composed of
law bidding citizens.

We recently stumbled upon a very suspicious vehicle for sale in the (916) area
and found MANY red flags that suggest it's stolen.

Here's the original classified ad from craigslist:

http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/car/33104248.html

And here's the forum thread where we discuss the classified ad and all the red
flags that pop out in our minds. You'll have to scroll down a bit to get a
better understanding:

https://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62060

I figured i'd bring this to light and maybe someone within the deptartment could
break this down. If you need to contact me i can be reached at this email
(blahblahblah@comcast.net OR yadayadayada@hotmail.com) to give my name etc. I'd wish to remain anonymous for obvious reasons as i'm sure you understand. If it's possible to stay informed on this i'd appreciate it, if not then I understand too. On a side note, I appreciate what you're doing for the community and am proud of you ALL. I know what it's like to serve my country all too well.

Thanks for your time.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We'll see if they get back to me.

Yeah, looks like it's just the left rear window that's tinted. My guess is that originally all the back windows were tinted, but then the car was hit in the right/rear, so that the tinted glass was replaced.

It may not be SUPER BOLID...but it's bolid none the less. For some reason, the photos were shot elsewhere.

Well I already have me a rex here, im just surprised it can tow that amount. I plan on getting a tow hitch along with a waverunner so that whole tow thing came up at a good time.

I knew someone who bought their car from some Russian guy. The Civic he bought was salvaged or had an accident. Then repaired up to specs and sold to him super cheap.
