Any guesses on this car?

This morning, around 1:27am, the car pictured pulled in at my shop.
Somebody got out of the passenger side and walked around for a minute, and then they left.

Since people steal from me about once a year, I figure this a recon mission.


Stills pulled from camera footage from the house across the street. My shop's cameras were knocked out by a lightning storm this week. (Coincidence?? lol )








I know it is nearly impossible from these images, but I thought I would give it a shot with you guys. Some of you have the smarts.

Maybe something stands out to you guys - like the shape of the side mirror, the lights, the slope of the rear end.... ?


The police are sending a person out to pick up the footage and write up a report, but because nothing was stolen that is all they can do at this time.

Late model Mustang.

Tail lights are a give away.

Plus the large blunt front end.

I have a 2004 Mustang GT, and the tail light shape, and the headlight shape look similar to what is shown in those pictures at night. No, it wasn't me !

Think it's a 2015 or newer.

Check the rake of the rear window.

Probably a pool hall in the area

You need to fix your camera and get better lights

Was a crime committed? I missed that part.


I'm just asking for discussion. I know that of course it's good to have this available if something happens in the future.

Trespassing at an FAA licensed facility is a crime that is under jursdiction of both the local police and the department of homeland security.
