Indy / Avon area - looking for a stolen Mustang

[Cameramonkey]

Plenty of wealthy folks get in with shady people.

And sometimes dont even know it. It could simply be one of his associates saw it one day when he stopped by and decided since it wasnt his friend's car, no harm no foul. Who cares that some rando is out a car.

I get it but this is just so far from a possibility. It's a family friend and one of my dads best friends he grew up with in his village back in Greece where they were born. I just don't see it being a thing with him. If he weren't Greek I would at least entertain the idea but I would bet the world against this idea.

All the one guy who saw it said he was black and the truck was black. He gave the most generic truck description ever, so it's really useless info.

Well, we're 2 for 2 with neighbor matching that description...

No cameras on the property somehow - which I thought there were otherwise I wouldn't have left it there.

I had no real choice because my apartment complex says I have too many cars (3) even though I told them one is the Mrs's.

You don't think the apartment complex had it towed away do you.

It wasn't at my complex. They've already towed it once on me with 0 warning which is why I moved it to a business property my friend owns

I don't doubt this as a possibility - but Nick, our family friend, I completely doubt could ever have a part in this himself.

I'd only finger the homeowner if the car was stored behind a privacy fence where passing mopes wont see it.

It's actually a strip mall he owns. The thing is there's a bank in the lot that has cameras that were facing that side.... but they aren't working. I thought I had a chance til they told us/the police those cameras weren't working. And nobody else has cameras outside of their businesses.

Our friend is there every day because he has a restaurant in the strip too - but it happened after he left for the evening.

Ok just a thought.

If I'm reading this correctly, it was just parked in a strip mall parking lot, overnight for days on end?

Yes. I went by basically every night on my way home from work as I passed the exit regardless - except Wednesdays. Its been there for 2 weeks. The owner of the strip has a car and truck he keeps there as well with no issues ever having happened.

I know it's not ideal, or as good as having it parked, you know, at home. I am leaving the complex I'm at in a couple months because of this issue actually. Now it probably doesn't matter though.

 

[bobzilla]

Any chance that an entrepreneurial towing company yanked it because one of the other businesses in the strip asked?

Everyone's situation is different. Hell, if he kept two vehicles there with no issues, I wouldn't have expected any issues either.

The more info that gets posted the more I’m convinced it’s sitting at a tow yard somewhere. Have you tried calling all the wrecker services you can find? Indy’s finest? Last chance? Zore’s? Hannah’s? It could have gotten tagged as abandoned, or towed by mistake. I had a case several years ago where someone towed the wrong car and nobody checked the plate to verify.

I found this white mustang in the race shop Thursday morning....

If it left on a tow truck, first step should be calling every tow yard in town.
Tons of stories out there about tow companies snatching random cars.

That looks to be a S550 Mustang (2015 - 2023), where as the Original Poster has a S197 Mustang (2005 - 2014).

The S197 has a more first gen Mustang look than the S550 or the current S650.

Pretty sure that was purple. Those are panels for a racing mustang. The Lovell Auto racing team it appears.

That is a 'glass "template " body .....change the grill sticker and it becomes a Chevy or a Toyota......

I was going to say get me the plate number and I'd check auto return, but looks like Frank is already well ahead of me. I'll go back to riding a desk and watching real police do police work....
