This one seems to have garnered quite a few hits in a short period of time, and I hope that helps.

Seriously that thing is still one of the best custom jobs I've seen, I know it hurts but build another as soon as possible while the technical details are still fresh

People that do things like that should be taken out and shot multiple times in the groin, just like the rest of the criminals out there!

Please tell me if this is maybe a bit over the edge,,,, or if you agree with me.


Ya, bit over the egde...I'm not saying this is the case and that it's right to steal..But the person who "might" have stole it could be very poor and in need of some money, Not somebody that has a hard-up drug problem,...Someone who actually "needs" its..Like I said, its still not right to steal but thats a bit over doing it, Let the law handle it...And if your that silly to leave something like that in the seat of a car UNLOCKED..then..ya..

Anyone would be up-set about it I agree, I know, I would be furious! And would want to see him in the electric chair, but you have to think rational here.

Status: offline 		But the best thing was to get this information posted asap on a highly visited forum, like RCU, And they were nice enough to make it a sticky for you as well! You have tons of people looking out for it now, And the funny thing is, The person who probably stole it is reading this forum right now trying to find out what he has!....
