Glad to hear of the progress. One can only wonder what the thieves had in mind when they stole your Fiero. Its a very noticeable vehicle. Not an easy one to jimmy with the the serial numbers and re-register. I would assume that the state DMV has a list of stolen vehicles and may flag an incoming registration/title request for a Fiero. Its not just the registration process but the thief would also have to have a forged title but all titles have a trace of ownership to them. If a salvage title is presented they will most likely go through that vehicle with a fine tooth comb and aren't you required to produce a legal bill of sale? New theory. The car was stolen by a gang banger and is now driving it around with stolen plates; with the modern technology that police vehicles have, that should be quickly picked up. Police are constantly scanning license plates on their computers.

White Fiero, in the shade.

From here to where ?
The Scene of the Crime, had been scoped out for months, a hot red Fiero, just sitting there, so hot, enticing, waiting, so hot.
' Well officer, I couldn't resist, it was so hot, just sitting there, waiting for me, so enticing, I just had to have it, I'm sorry ! '
' I drove by there every day, and loved the hot red Fiero every time I looked at it, so hot, so shiny, so hot, I just had to have it, I'm sorry ! '
' Then one day I saw it with the black nose bra, I couldn't help myself. I just had to have it, I'm sorry ! '


Grand theft auto is considered a “wobbler” offense that can be filed by prosecutors as either a felony or a misdemeanor.
If filed as a felony, the maximum penalty one could receive is three years in prison.
If charged as a misdemeanor, the maximum penalty is a year in jail.
Wobbler you say ?l

RECOVERED!

I was notified by CHP this morning that the car had been found abandoned in a residential area less than 10 miles from where it was stolen. I couldn't leave work so Jenny, my love, went out there to meet the officer and arrange for towing. It had been sitting there for over a month while all the locals assumed it belonged to someone else. One of the neighbors finally called it in. To my knowledge there are no suspects at this time.

I won't see the car until I get home tonight but by all reports it is in surprisingly good shape. All the locks are intact but the steering column was cut into to gain access to the innards, so the car won't start. The passenger window had been left down a couple of inches during 2 huge rainstorms we had recently so it will need some drying out.

There are a few strange sidebars to the story which I will detail in my follow up, as well as adding some photos. Assuming the drivetrain was not damaged I think this was about the best that I could hope for.

Awesome news. Congrats

This is the best outcome. A joyride and just slow recovery because it was abandoned where it wouldn't get called in immediately. Hopefully it dries out ok and you only need a new column.

Great news.....Hopefully you can repair the column and dry out the car and she is ready to go (On the next Vine run)

Excellent!
I'm happy to hear that it was recovered. Fortunately, columns are easy to replace. Hoping there are no other issues, other than soggy upholstery.
