chape

Hi all- Police found the car in Spring Valley. Body is intact, except for some spray painted artwork. No seats, all wiring cut, sill plates, visors, spare tire, jack, glove compartment, console, radio and exterior emblems missing. It is trashed. Waiting for insurance to weigh in on what to do with it now. Thanks for your offers of assistance.

I wouldn't have parked there after 10 pm if I was going out partying in the Gaslamp but 4 in the afternoon seemed reasonably safe...and iit was right across from East Village Tavern's wall of floor to ceiling windows. But yeah, I was a little worried Had a premonition-usually I leave my condo keys in the console-at the last minute I decided to take them with me. Thanks for keeping a lookout-I appreciate it. Jim

Make sure it is not stolen....my Z was stolen last night and I am searching classifieds to see if it turns up.

Update- the car was found this morning. Stripped. Missing seats, emblems, visors, center console, all wiring harnesses cut plus some gratuitous spray paint. No body damage. Probably totaled. Anyone want to buy it for parts? I know this is a longshot but... Last evening, between 4:15 and 7:45 p.m. my 1976 280Z was stolen. It had been parked near 10th and Market, downtown San Diego. The car is bronze with copper interior, excellent condition, California License #3SMZ256. The license frame has Gators on top and Florida on the bottom. It may already be in Mexico, but if anyone out there sees a car matching this description, please contact the San Diego Police Department at 619-531-2000. I've had the car for 25 years, each of my two kids learned to drive in this car and, needless to say, it has sentimental as well as monetary value. Please help- Thanks- Jim
