Vette(s): White '79 Corvette. It's a driver.

Thanks for the heads up on that, Joel!

If'n it were mine I'd contact the ports where container ships depart from. A good chance something like that could turn up there if it were being looked for.

I'll bet the thieves have no idea what they got


I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I agree because if I read the story right, they damaged the car getting it out.
