Still sounds fishy... They found the car four hours after it was stolen? Thats amazing as it is... but jeeze... youd have to bust some serious work to get all those parts off the car and get the wheels put on... i mean... jeeze... who has a set of contour rims hanging around???? Ill say this... either they(yes THEY) had this planed WAY in advance or well... i wont say it.
Even taking it to a chop shop strait aways... it takes time to get those parts off... you guys know that... i think if i had a air ratchet and an assitent to hand me tools i could have the intake manifolds off in a say 30minutes... then attacking the heads is another story.. i dunno i suppose ive never worked like that before so maybe it goes quicker... but common... four hours?
Dont wheels have serial numbers?
Yer right... if you owe that much you would be silly to have set it up... but... depending on the price for those parts you still could come out ahead...
Anyways.. im not acusing you of ANYTHING... i wanna make that clear... its just WAAAAAAAAAY weird....
