If the guy was compensated for the theft by his insurance, he is required to pay it back.
I’ve known harley owners that find out their old harley is registered by someone else. ie, there are two harleys on the road with the same vin number. I’m not sure what the law does, if anything, when that is found out.
Sometimes you want something really,really bad whether it’s really rightfully yours or not.
hmm. that baby has a 289? I wonder if it’s a 4 speed.
My dad had a 64.5 mustang. He sold it when he became a dad. (with me!) We would see it on the freeways in LA for years!
If it had been his, he would have probably asked for it back.
You won’t believe this but this is very close to a Barney Miller Episode!
I have had the joyous privilege of loving and driving TWO convertible Mustangs as a kid. Learned to drive stick partly on my brother's 67 V8 three-speed Mustang. *sigh* The other was I thought a 69, but perhaps a 68 -- another stick, V8, very fast, well-maintained. Lovely car. Drove them as a teenager ... on the California coast. Man, don't think I wasn't grateful even then, each and every drive, the top down, wind blowing in my hair, all the fragrant aromas of beach and/or coast-inland valleys and mountains right there ... talk about blessed, my stars, thank you Lord. I can sure understand how this woman feels. Nice to see she's doing the right thing.
She probably has spent 10 times the money the guy paid for it over the years keeping it roadworthy enough to pass yearly California Motor Vehicle inspection, which it seems has failed to detect for 38 years that the car was stolen by the VIN as well.
Yeah, I'm a cynic.
