Just being funny, Trying to help you keep a sense of humor!

Big or small it doesnt matter, just someone with experience and who will be taken very seriously. But these PIs know the ropes and the law, and you need to get some one on the perps trail. You know they go out and ask around, check with landlords, stop by addresses, talk to neighbors, do what needs to be done.

It will cost a little dough but at least if you find the car you wont be completely out, it will just cost a litte more than you planned. But since when is that a surprise in the old car hobby? At least you will know something. I was surprised how my bad guy all of a sudden showed back up and started returing my calls when I sent someone to find him. It changed his whole attitude and I have my car now.

You never know what kind of a deal these bad guys are running, maybe there is a simple explaination, may the bad guy believes he is honest just in some sort of problem.

You need to locate that car. I would guess since bad guys usually dont have money, If you get your car then you will have won. Get your car and chalk it up to experience. I have had to learn that painful lesson myself.

Now if you found a guy that looked like Luca Brasi or Tony Soprano, they would be taken very seriously. Phone calls and Emails are easy to ignore. Infact it works in your favor if the bad guy doesnt know you have someone looking for him.

Just my honest reccomendation from my own experience and previous poor judgement, that I would give to any friend.
