The police called me this morning to tell me they found my SE-R in a parking garage in Silver Spring yesterday evening! EVERTHING was still inside except for the toolbox. So that means all my power tools and the torch was still inside. Yay!

Now I have to figure out which car to keep.

Interesting. Let us know if it is entirely intact when you get a chance to look it all over. Good luck!

Congrats! Sounds like things are looking up :bigthumb:

You should keep both of them, make the S12 into something nice and use the SE-R as a daily driver.

Now that he has the car, can't he just get another from the DMV if need be? Should still be in his name right? Even if the title was in the stolen car, the theif can't very well change the name on the title and register it if it's been reported stolen, right?

Yes, the title did survive, it was the only reason I was able to get it from the impound lot since my signature matches my DL and the seller's matches the bill of sale.

Someone obviously just needed it for transportation, because it sat in that garage for a long fricken time. There was only about 70 miles extra on the car and a half-tank gone. The toolbox was probably just something extra and quick. Can't understand why the 2 ton jack, spring compressor, angle grinder and torch were left tho... :gotme:

Also, the rotors weren't rusted up much, I suppose since it was inside the whole time.

i am going to sell the S12, I decided, because all the hard work has already been done to the Sentra, and I really need something with more power. I also hate the diff on the S12 and that's just too much work. Oh well...

Somewhere there's an old lady with Alzheimer's saying "Where did my car go?" and some scared-sh*tless middle aged kids waiting for the cops to show up outside the old lady's house.

Funny thing was I was just getting ready to take the S12 in for inspection. But the Sentra runs better, has more power, has easier brakes (NOW, lol), and would probably get me laid faster than an ugly as$ S12. Hey, the S12 is always in my heart, but I Just have to sell out for the power and fun factor here.

I say keep both. Between the two, you may have a car that is driveable half the time.

I wish. I can't afford two cars, and the sentra will be more affordable for me in the long run. I also will be able to get up the hill on my street in winter with it, so I won't have to miss any work anymore!

I think the current title continues to reflect it's very nature. It's back perhaps to bring more pain, like an ex-gf who sleeps with you again to exact her revenge...

What can I say? I am a glutton for punishment. I did own an S12 for 2 or 3 years, after all... ;)

Wayne St. in Silver Spring. The big, BIG garage with long-term parking...

Thanks everyone for your replies. ;)

Nope. It was found because the garage reported it, finally. It was thought to have sat there most, if not all of the time it was missing. Apparently no one had been in there to ticket anyone in that long a time. I guess the meter maids were busy...

Awesome technology, but super expensive. To put it in perspective the license plate scanners that they use for stop light camera's and a security gates that are mounted in place and don't move are something like $3500 - $7000 per camera and those don't move. This is the same technology that your local Parking authority uses to see if they have to boot or tow a car for unpaid tickets, but even those vehicles that are equipped with them only have one camera and they have to crawl down the street and don't take a picture of the cars in question. I'm sure to have a RPC equipped with the ALPR is an addition $15-20K per car.

Ooof that's expensive...
