I take it 'the cat' should be 'the car'? Not Catalina?

Hope it gets found.



Was it stolen overnight or while the meet was going on?

Got a picture? It's tough to keep an eye out for a VIN.

I don't have a 'smart phone' if you were thinking of sending me the pic that way.
If you emailed it I was just going to upload it to my photobucket account then embed it here.
Your problem is probably that the photo is too large. A storage site like photobucket doesn't have the limitations that you run into on this site. .

I thought I was the only person on the planet that doesn't have one, or any mobile devices.


To the OP, hope they find it.

How does it get Stolen? I saw plenty of cars sitting there with the keys in the ignition and nobody around. Then I see wreckers hooking up and driving off with the crowd walking all around it. I think at least 1 car disappears every year.

If this statement is true, than these people that leave keys in the car are asking for it.

If true = Very Stupid!

WOW

whenever I drive my Impala (only old car that is roadworthy at the moment) I always take 2 parts with me in my pocket that leave the car inoperable, and NEVER leave the keys in the ignition
