Just want to say thank you for all the nice comments about our shop and about returning the 1962 Dodge Lancer to its rightful owner! Adrian, our shop general manager, helped get the parts and car packed up and sent back home. Believe me when I say, I was sick when I realized I thought I had a stolen car in my possession. My wife immediately called Detective Holbert of the Fort Worth Auto Theft Task Unit that night at his home and explained what had happened that day. My shop has worked quite closely with him for several years. I called the Saginaw PD, the Fort Worth Sheriff's dispatch and Duncanville PD. Detective Holbert was the first one to jump on it and had Detective Pete Henz call us immediately. At this point, we also notified the owner we thought we had his wagon via email on this forum. That is how I found out about his stolen Lancer - I stumbled upon this forum!
I had my truck stolen once, but I got it back pretty quickly! I am sure if one of my "special vehicles" was stolen, it would drive me crazy! Our biggest concern was to get it back to the rightful owner ASAP!
