Sorry to hear that. I live in the Portland area and will keep an eye out up here on craigslist. Good luck on getting it back. Some people would rather steal than work for a living. Doesn't it just piss you off!
That sucks! If it hasn't been taken to mexico I hope the worthless piece of trash that stole is found, and beat with in an inch of death
Good Luck Hope you find it soon
Unfortunately there is a lot more in the car than what I posted.
If you hear any good deals on a "slightly used" FRPP 340HP crate motor, or T5Z trans, etc. out of Northern California, could you please drop me a PM?
Thank you very much!
Sorry to hear this, but know how it feels. In December 1997, my white '89 GT was stolen in Little Rock, Arkansas.
I had a 30-day wait afterwards, with my insurance company, in case the '89 GT was recovered --which, it wasn't. While I was waiting for the 30 days to pass, I went looking at a lot of other Fox GTs to replace it. Many of them were dogged out, but luckily I found this one only 30 miles from where I lived at the time: [except it didn't have the Cervinis cowl hood or LX tailights on it when I bought the '90 GT] http://ultrastang.com/Ultrainfo.asp?Page_ID=9
At the time my '89 was stolen, I was (understandably) furious, but as it turned out I ended up with an even better GT than what I had, so it worked out for the best.
Similar story here. My '68 coupe was stolen in september. If I ever found the guy who did it, I'd torture him. Car theft should be a capitol crime. They used to hang horse thieves, why not car thieves. You steal a car you are potentially stealing a person's lively hood.

Hate to hear things didn't go your way in your particular case. Things wouldn't have really gone my way in my case either, if I had just simply accepted my insurance company's (Farm Bureau's) first offer. They called me to come back a couple of days later for their second settlement offer. The settlement price IS negociable.
Got it Back!
Evidently the person who was driving couldn't handle the car. Spent some time off road. Knocked off a muffler, and smoked the clutch. Little damage to the right front bumper cover. No one got hurt, and the car came through great. I'm really relieved.
Thanks guys for the comments, help and suggestions. Greatly appreciated!
As a side note. After what I saw today, I am amazed at how easy this car is to steal. One person with a bit of practice 15 seconds or less. Two people, probably less than 10 seconds.
Needless to say, I never thought like a thief before. I'd highly recommend some serious visual deterent, and other not so visual mods.
Thanks again,
Glad to hear your car came back without too much damaged incurred. All that was left to be found of mine was a little bit of the driver's side door glass I found on the ground in the parking spot where I had last left my '89 GT. I'm sure once it was stolen, it went straight to a chop shop.
If you have a means to disable the ignition and/or fuel pump, it makes it a lot harder for someone to drive off with it. The next trick with that is locating a place that a thief would not easily and quickly find the arming/disarming means for them.
There are few truly difficult cars to steal. Classics are by far the easiest and what's worse, it doesn't have to be the neighborhood chop shop stealing them either. The VINs on classics are easily frauded out.
