That Peugeot reminds me of my 3rd car; a 1982 Toyota Starlet. Mine was the 2 door model in the same brown color as this but in way better condition.

Had almost exactly the same BBS type wheels like this only the honeycomb portion was in gold not silver.

I drove that thing up to NJ from Florida twice. Great car and never let me down until I had to replace the flywheel, and then 6 months later I had the same problem so I let it go before sinking anymore money into it.

I’m thinking that Peugeot was a case of insurance fraud... cuz who the heck would steal a Peugeot?

No one who has ever owned one.

Why do you suppose so many cars are burned whenever there is a riot anywhere in France?

Well I would hope that they actually trace this car back to the first owner after it was stolen. I would say that person is most likely the thief. Or they will know who is.

My dad made the mistake of buying a Chevy Vega. It was such an underpowered unreliable 💩box my 1968 Charger was actually cheaper to drive. When I worked for him whenever I had to go to the south bronx, Newark or other such “exotic” neighborhoods I would leave it unlocked sometimes with the keys in the ignition. And the damn thing would still be where I left it.

When I was in high school in Florida, as a senior in 1966, I drove a Renault Dauphine! I used to
Park it two blocks from the school and walk in so nobody would see me driving it.

Maybe/maybe not, Tommy kept renewing the Stolen Vehicle Report/Claim. That may nullify the Limits.

It could be the perpscum was just getting started with the career of Auto Theft and VIN Alterations and is still doing it or may have been recently Busted. Heck it may be the “Straw that breaks the Camels Back” and they bring down a Regional Ring.

I’m sure the 4 Purchasers will be following up on their $$$losses$$$, I know I would be.

I wish We had a way to keep updated on the Investigation.

Stolen is stolen

He just found it before it was lost.

Nice car.

Here's my 1967 Camaro, with myself at the wheel, Christmas Day, 1967.

Doesn’t work like that.

Wife had a 280zx stolen in Dc 25 years ago. DC impounded the car, didn’t tell us about it and sold it at their police auction. Capital police pulled the car over about 18 months later. Dash vin was changed, but they looked at the engine block.

We got the car back.

> I would leave it unlocked sometimes with the keys in the ignition.

I was going to say you should have left it running.
Then I remembered you said it was a Vega.
So... Never Mind.

So are you an expert on these things.
Maybe his insurance coverage and/or his renewal of the theft reports made the difference.

My dad bought several used Vegas since you could by them so cheap. The problem with the engine was that that the aluminum engine block would wear due to the steel rings. My dad would bore them out and put steel sleeves in the block, I think the sleeves were for a Ford tractor. With a Saginaw transmission and a decent rear end, they were decent cars. I put over 100k on mine and then gave it to my sister. We had at least 5 of them.
