They found the owner of the car. Sacramento had a rash of mustang thefts for
a while. It seems one of the perps was involved in a homicide or something
to that nature so they closed in on the ring. One of them had the nerve to
sell the parts on ebay right under our noses. We're talking new previously
redone interiors, seats and all for a couple hundred dollars and engines
that looked like they were hastily removed, tearing out wiring and all. Some
victims I know of recognized their parts in pictures seen in the ads and
many parts such as doors and hoods matched colors of the cars that were
reported stolen. There was even a set of custom colored seats from TMI that
were sold from a victims stolen car. Unfortunately many of these parts went
to many unsuspecting buyers across the U.S.
