Default Cars stolen, please keep an eye out!!

There was 4 Oldsmobiles stolen from a hotel parking lot in Indy. If you are in the area, please keep an eye out for them. I know these probably are not your type, but I'm sure you know how crappy it would feel to have a car stolen from you.

Please don't start me to talking about stolen cars. I had one stolen and it was a mess. I could go on forever.

Someone drives it around town like they own it. It's been a couple of weeks past 4 years and they are still driving it. What they do is steal plates and put them on the back so they don't get pulled over for having expried tags. I have tried to run them down a few times to see where they park it. I still have a key so I will likely steal it back if I figure it out. I believe they are garaging the dang thing.

OK, will keep an eye but I'm stuck in Japan (currently in Guam).

Once a while, googling VIN/license plate# gives you some interesting info.

For your other cars (if any), GPS-traceable transmitter may help...

I'm sorry, I wish I could help.

I'm sorry to hear about your car, hopefully you will find out who stole it and get it back as it was!

I believe one of them was found with the interior gutted out and the gold spray painted over. Have not heard anything about the others
