Guy who stole Wayne's 914 has been caught...

[Heel n Toe]

...and he's in jail, but not talking. Wayne has replaced his baby with this beauty:



Undoubtedly, some of you already know about this, but I didn't know about it until receiving a PP email yesterday, and there was a link to a thread about his journey to get the car: Just in case you thought I was getting too old to do crazy stuff...

Cool find, Wayne.

I'm guessing those tires are BFG, based on the decals on the rear quarters and the bit of a look in the photo... which tire are they and how do you like them? (I'm considering the BFG G-FORCE COMP-2 A/S as a replacement on my car, based on favorable reviews.)

Well, that closes a chapter, but I am assuming the car is long gone.

I'm thinking that a Pelican Parts script and logo would look good where the resort ad is now.
The car certainly seems to have a good provenance.

[RANDY P]

fry him like chicken.

PS what's up with that Hedonism II? Hmmm?

[wdfifteen]

Heck with tires, I want to know what Wayne thinks of Hedonism.

Skip to 3:00 ....

Glad to hear some actually catches car thieves. Let us know if they do any time.

Couldn't agree more.

Any background on the story?

Bingo. Baby is back home again! The full story is coming soon, but the moral of the story is "don't mess with Wayne". The fellow who stole it went back to jail (he was out on parole). The car has relatively minimal damage that I can see, although I have not been able to get it started (the ignition switch is all "screwdrivered up").

Great.

[edgemar]

this is awesome!!....it's great to see a car that is irreplaceable back in its owners hands.

"Hang him from the highest yardarm!"

Good to see you recovered her, Wayne!

[speeder]

That’s amazing. They don’t usually come back.

I also can’t believe that you still have the Mini that you loaned me once 10 years ago. I’ve gone through about eleventy million cars since then.

[astrochex]

Great news. Car looks badass.

[flipper35]

Good news on the car.

To the OP, I have the BFG G-FORCE COMP-2 A/S and they are a great tire and actually work decent in snow if that matters. Much better in the wet than any other tire I have had, except the Goodyear Blue Streak rain tires. They were really good.

(Mine are on a sportsy sedan.)

[onewhippedpuppy]

Awesome you got it back. Like Denis said that's pretty rare, the guy must have been an amateur.

[masraum]

Great news, and we miss you, Wayne.

Glad to see that you're not completely gone.

That's never a good thing. Pretty much pisses a judge off and only one result is coming for the guy. Back to jail for you my friend..

[Bill Douglas]

Yay, good news.
