Do not go to Anderson. Go to Shelbyville next time.

As mentioned in a couple of posts above- the late COPO Pete had his entire rig stolen and it disappeared into the reservation.

I'm thinking that it's really odd that they stole just the gas tank on what sounds to be a really nice car. I suspect that they intended to immobilize the car long enough that they could come back and get it later. Good thing you stayed by it and had it towed out!

Wouldn't they just have pulled the coil wire? There's no hood lock and it would be easier than dropping the tank.

Needed it for their LeMans into a '65 GTO Clone build?

Yeah, but a coil wire is as close as the nearest auto parts store. Maybe I'm off on my guess, but stealing a gas tank is pretty bizarre.

Indeed, reminds me of an episode of Breaking Bad and as much sense as the actions of the Meth-heads portrayed...
