Just got told who owns this car. I went Karting with the fella once.
Makes it worse when you've met the owner somehow
Wasn't that far from me where it was kept
Hope it surfaces

how did they know the car was in the garage if its been off road since the 80's i presume its been kept in there unseen the whole time? if so you should start considering friends/neighbours that would tell someone its there to steal
