from the ashes

Why would anyone do this, and how would they get away with it?

Strange & unfortunate, Sorry to hear pete.

The '53 is sweet though.

It was on my 5 acres thats out of town. Way out dirt road country. No one to catch them.At least they didnt steal it. Cleaned the glass and leaves out today and crawled under to start unbolting the body. Man I had almost forgot the joy of rust in the eye balls. Gotta get some safety goggles and hit it again after work tommorrow.DD
