That blows.

I'm a mellow guy but thieves will get me fighting mad.

Sadly if that car wasnt recovered in 48 hours its probably in 1000 pieces by now.

I cant stress this enough. Get personal GPS locators in your vehicles people. They are less than $100, smaller than most cell phones, will stay alive for up to 7 days even after the car battery has been removed. Most services are about $20 month and give you live tracking that shows the cars position on a mapquest like map online. Shows the speed and can show a tracking mode to show where the car travelled for the last 72 hours.

We've had all of our cars fitted with GPS locators for the last 4 yrs now. Its a small price to pay for peace of mind.

The police will not go looking for your car. They will only notify you if they happen to come across it if the thief is dumb enough to be joy riding in your car. In most cases these car are stolen to be stripped and parted out.

I hope your friend gets his car back. I hate when ever I read about shit like this. It really gets under my skin. I really hate a thief. If someone was dumb enough to take one of our vehicles,.. its the one situation where I would seriously bash some skulls in when I find them. And find them I would.
