Hey guys and gals,

I just wanted to let you all know that my car was stolen last night out of my driveway. Its most likly getting stripped as a type so please also keep your eyes open for a black SS hood and other "hot" parts for sale.

God I feel like shit. I expected to have that car until I was too old to drive.....

Wondered what could be said other than, "Sorry". Finally realized that for people who put as much of themselves in their cars as most of us do, the crime is closer to kidnapping than it is to simple theft. The sense of loss and violation is more personal than just the monetary and material loss. Perhaps you'll be one of the fortunate few to get your car back whole. In any event, be sure that those here understand the sense of loss you are feeling. Hope your luck improves.

For the most part, I generally refrain from attempts to say anything comforting or whatever, because I've learned that I suck at it. So, "what he said".
