Agreed, and if he has to pay to get it back its obviously a fucking painful thing knowing you have made it worth their while to have nicked your car, but all that matters to him now is getting it back.
Him and his brother have spent so much time and effort on it (not that much money, its not a massive spec car, probably only cost them 4K ish in total) to build it, and they just want it back, so if they have to pay a grand to get it, which is all the theives are likely to make selling bits on the hurry up, then its better than not getting it back, even though it means putting money in these cunts pockets to do so.
