Man I truly feel your pain.
The feeling of your car not being where you left it is really really ****ty.
But based on my experience with stolen cars (trust me i have plenty, 3 cars from me alone 5 total in my family) you will not see the car driving around especially this one that is uncommon and an eye catcher, as this one is.
It is parked somewhere getting stripped or is already dumped off after their joy ride across town.
I have got all my cars back, most recent was actually about three weeks ago. Got our 95 accord back in one piece. Just basically out of gas and they stole the coins in the little pocket on the dash.
I hope you have the same outcome.
Good Luck.

OP... did it have the white wheels on it when it was stolen?
And for some hope, my buddy got his bug eye stolen and it was recovered a couple days later. Unfortunately the joyriders had blown the engine and busted the transmission. Fortunately his insurance covered an engine rebuild and compensation enough to do a 6-sp swap.

nothing. I hope they're smart enough to not drive it around and smart enough to strip the **** out of it. :/ Then again some thieves aren't the smartest :P
Yes. White wheels yakima rack, pretty much everything you see on the car in the pic except the bike.
Hopefully just Joy ride. I'll take a 6 speed swap

I read this thread, I just got back from the stereo shop getting a new alarm put in. It means no protune for another month, but...man you made me worry.
I hope you get your car back soon dude.
