Keys left in the ignition? Probably.

It will be trashed when recovered, or stripped, or wrecked during a pursuit by the police.

Check on Watkins Dr. Drag Racing Strip.

Check the impound yard. JPD is bad about not telling you your stolen car is there.

I had a car stolen several years ago. Did the police report, etc. A few months letter I got a collection notice from the impound lot for storage fees. The thieves had left it somewhere, JPD had it towed, never checked to see it had been stolen. Of course, by then it was the property of my insurance company.

Merry Christmas, Daddy! From Hagerty Insurance (stated value policy!!!!).

May be cruising the Coast.😁

Good looking restored El Camino.

I hope he can get it back.

Although who knows how much damage the thugs have already done to it !

As a millennial born on 1981, the Classic Car description stings as much as Z106 playing the Classic Rock from my high school years.

My daughter will be Class of 2020. While I was Class of 2000.

While I hope they recover the car the last 'sweet' year for the El Camino was 1972.

If it is at the impound it will be sold as parts.
Quite a few people buy their car parts from there.
Good tires and wheels go for $10 each but you have to take them off the impounded cars when the police are not there.

16 months ago my green land cruiser was stolen from kroger in Madison. My wife found it 20 min later at the smoothie king in Madison just 3 blocks away. Only bad thing was it whoever stole it smoked in it.

@7:54 PM - Admit it, you left your keys in it, didn't you?

12:52. You know your cars.. SS454 El Camino..cowl induction hood.

That's a pretty busy location. Don't look for this car to surface in the metro. It's already either in New Orleans or Houston.

9:03 has something about keys. Maybe an investigator of some sort?

"While I hope they recover the car the last 'sweet' year for the El Camino was 1972."

Absolutely not true. Both the 75 and 76 were really cool. I didn't care for the curve from back window to bed wall in 78 but still a real keeper if you got one.

All of them beat the hell out of the Ford Ranchero.

Doesn’t matter if it was a Rambler, a Pinto or an AMC Pacer. A thief stole something that a person worked hard for and had a desire to restore. Drugs are always the underlying cause for theft. Cause it sure ain’t for love or doing good for someone in need!

Locked and keys in my pocket. Stolen in broad daylight in De Ville parking lot.

Let's have a conversation about how our Jackson economy works.

@8:32 AM - blaming theft on drugs in the same as blaming murder on guns.

How about blaming it on the perp? It is not true that all thefts are drug related, some, but certainly not all.

How about greed? No respect for other's property? Coveting the property of others?

9:24, sorry your car got stolen, its amazing how quickly someone with a little skill can steal an older car. Any leads?

Leads?! Yeah, we got all the detectives down at the precinct working on it. Both shifts! They are working overtime! Leads?! HA!

GM’s of that vintage are dead easy to steal. Almost not worth locking them. Should have had a hidden battery disconnect switch or fuel shutoff.

8:32 - The post to which you refer did not 'blame it on drugs'. The post (correctly) implied that drugs are the underlying motivation for theft. You steal shit in order to sell it and buy drugs with your bounty.
