Hope for those with a stolen RX-7

i know there have been a lot of posts over the years about member's rx-7's being stolen. some cars were recovered, some were not so fortunate. there is an old thread about a very nice lady's GSL-SE being stolen and recovered. her name is Stacey and here story is here:

http://www.jimrothe.com/mazda/staceys-rx7/index.html

its an excellent story with excellent people and excellent results. there was an old thread in regards to her story:

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ht=stacey+rx-7

i'm making this thread so that the senior members on here will not forget Stacey and her story and that the new members will learn of such a nice woman, a nice car, and an excellent story from start to finish. perhaps giving this story a fresh thread will help those who have had a 7 or any car for that matter stolen and recovered or not.

Good read???

Damn that scares me. That is the worst possible theft situation.
If my GSL-SE got stolen and came back like that id flip...luckily where it is now, youd have to move the GS, lol.

If my 7 got stolen, and they covered it, I would not want to even see it if that happened to mine, I'd probably cry lol.

my very first Rx-7 (first car, for that matter) was stolen. not really sure how because i know it wasn't driven away ... hmmm ... anyway, it was never recovered. i went on to buy another 3 Rx-7s and i'm looking for number 5 soon. life goes on, eh?







oh ... and to ******* that stole my '82, i'll never forget that and i hope you're attacked and gang-raped by silverback gorillas!

Read the rest of Jim Rothe's stuff, he rock's! I owe all my Radio Shack power antennae upgrades to this guy. His only fault is that he drives an SE and lives inside the belt, but hey, not bad for a library guy.

As far as stealing my car goes, I dare you! I am the only one who knows how to keep my sweety running.
