The Best Youtube Video Ever
This is the story of a stolen 69 Camaro and is well worth the viewing. Be sure and watch till the end. Goes to show you we need to watch out for ourselves.

Re: The Best Youtube Video Ever
Wow! What a fantastic story. Big pat on the back to the guy for staying the course and not giving up for 16 years and the end, well, he was guided that whole long way to be where he was at that moment.
That's a good one.

I watched that a litlle while back. I couldn't believe how hard that local PD was screwing that poor guy. Just glad he eventually got it back.

Re: The Best Youtube Video Ever
The guy in the articles below lives across the street from me. Pretty amazing he got his car back after 26 years. He had kept all of his paperwork and after his son found the car at a dealership it took about a month to get it back.

Re: The Best Youtube Video Ever
I watched the video..sorry but I don’t believe the story.
I’m skeptical of most stories like this one.

Re: The Best Youtube Video Ever
That was a good watch. Unfortunately, this has happened to many people. It was really awesome he got it back. That was really cool how he got the license plate too.

He kept his eyes open found it a few streets over and stole it back. It is still in original unrestored condition with the exception of some touch ups around the driver's door lock and on the trunk. BTW - the car is a floor shifted 3 speed manual. He ordered it that way because he had one in his '67 and liked it. Witnesses reported that you could hear the gears grinding as the thieves attempted to drive off with it. K

Re: The Best Youtube Video Ever
Perhaps I should not have been so blunt.
I’m not saying I know this didn’t happen. I haven’t done any research, I just watched the video. I really haven’t put a lot of thought into the story. I tend not to believe everything I watch on youtube. Could have really happened.

Re: The Best Youtube Video Ever
It was enough to convince me that I want to add a hidden kill switch somewhere just to make me feel better.

BRL, I agree. I've integrated some safety's to some vehicles to hopefully slow down the theft. A few years ago I was at a local Menards and I had a bunch of snap-on cordless tools and 2 digital torque wrenches in the cab of my orange 72. It was parked directly under a pole with a camera on it. The stuff was on the floor and not on the seat. I left the truck unlocked. I came back outside to a broken window and all the tools gone. Guess what? The store management wouldn't release their footage and even with local police asking for it, they refused. People suck!

Re: The Best Youtube Video Ever
All of my stuff is so tricky to get started I figure if they can get it running they've earned it - they can have it.

Re: The Best Youtube Video Ever
I really enjoyed that video. That gentleman gets an A for effort. I don't know what I would do if some dip **** took one of my vehicles.
Wootdog.

Re: The Best Youtube Video Ever
well that's quite a story.more than one lesson here to learn.it's amazing how the folks who should help,sometimes drop the ball.i had trouble with my insurance people after a new Harley was destroyed(and my right shoulder) after a young girl changed lanes without looking and drove over me.i fought with the insurance folks from June til November til they agreed to write the bike off.the man said to me after one of our many sessions,Greg he said,you have to realize,me and my co-workers know nothing about Motorcycles?i said well there lays the problem,you take our money to look after things,doesn't always happen.the folks that should have your back,don't always.i'm glad Mr. Neeley got Pearl back.
